-oversaturation including Europe games nobody wants
-overpriced tickets and parking -absurdly bad TV deal that restricts access unless you own a dish, while other leagues are expanding local and streaming -incompetent owners like Mike brown and Jim irsay who will never be replaced. Largely because revenue sharing allows incompetent owners to still profit handsomely -disinterested owners with no fresh ideas on improving the game experience (terrible halftime shows, in game music, etc...) -injuries have made several teams unwatchable -relocation mania to an LA market that struggled big time with attendance with 2 teams -over emphasis on penalizing defenses. And too many flags in general -horrible marketing. Very few marketable superstars The NFL was on the decline. The anthem reaction was the straw that broke the camels back. If the NFL was a watchable product, the reaction wouldn't be nearly as severe. In most of the above cases, the owners and Goodell chose profits over the fan experience. |

The game is stale. Rehashing junk coaches. No new fresh forward thinking offenses.
It’s a lot of blah. Granted I’ve only watched the chiefs and maybe a small part of a handful of games. Just too boring with the same narratives playing out year after year. |

I wonder how Pats fans feel? At some point, to possibly add to why the NFL is in decline, is how people in places like KC, Detroit, and Cleveland project their team's lack of success in terms of the ultimate goal with being upset with , or disinterested in, the league? That may play off of a previous comment about ownership, but I'm sure Pat fans think highly of the league, and how the league has protected their star player's health and wins?

Seriously, though. People are sick of hearing the story lines about the media darlings and watching the same handful of teams have any shot a a ring. 95% Cowboys fans don't give a shit about football unless their team is championship caliber. |

Not hard to figure out... oversaturation with games on Thursday, Saturday, and Monday, and too many bad teams.

Garbage quality of play. Every week you have maybe a couple of good games. Maybe. Games are over officiated and several major rules/interpretations are unclear to most of the players, let alone the fans. Several points others have made about stale coaches and players. Bad play calling that most fans could see backfiring(4th and 1, "let's go for it!" Runs up the middle for loss of 1).
However, I'm not sure how threatened the league really is. Guys like me are a part of the "problem". For all the reasons listed by me and everyone else, the league is offering a poor quality product . But I'll still watch every Sunday and I'll still buy Sunday Ticket(the years I don't get it free)because fantasy football and gambling on football is just to damn fun to give up! |

With legalized Sports Gambling coming down the pike, the NFL will be become more popular than ever.

And to take Dane's thought even further, with the popularity of the NFL facing it's first true stagnation point in years (since the strike?), you're going to see legalized sports betting nationwide way sooner rather than later. |

The NFL is/has gradually priced itself out of the market that made them. Not as many people out there who will drop $4-5 hundred for a few hours of entertainment. Once the base gets disenfranchised and moves on to something else the sponsors will leave as well. Won't happen in the next 5 years but I'd bet you see a major drawback from where they are today in 10 years.

They can keep it. I've been offered free tickets that are pretty damned good seats to tomorrow's game and I have zero desire to go out there, and this is a game where the Chiefs can clinch the AFC West for the second year in a row if they win (amazing to think that will be the first time in their history they'll pull that off if they do it). The investment is not worth the return for me anymore, especially considering I can go have fun at a number of sports bars and spend less money, or just stay at home with the big screen and Red Zone. |

Again, Verizon just paid $2.5 Billion for 5 years for the rights to provide their customers with the option to watch any and every NFL game each week. Not only is that contradictory to your "opinion" and the "opinions" of the many uninformed people in this very thread, it also provides each team with an additional $15,625,00.00 million dollars in operating revenue, 48% of which will go towards increasing the salary cap ($7.5 million per team). The sponsors aren't going anywhere. Complete and utter speculation based on anything other than facts. |
