Seems to me that's a natural progression..
Who wants to go to a stadium with 50,000 drunken assholes, pay $40 just to park and $12 per beer, freezing your ass off in 20 degree weather when you can watch from the comfort of your own home? My couch>any stadium in the NFL. |

I personally don't care about the protests, but I'm finding it shocking how many people out there do. I've seen a lot of people in my circle posting that they didn't buy any merch for Christmas this year, or that they haven't been to a game this year because of it. Generally these people are over 40 or 50, but I think generally the crowd at NFL games and especially season ticket holders is over 40. (Who else can afford it?)
It's surprised me how many posts I have seen from people who see kneeling for the anthem as disrespecting veterans and military personnel and the country in general, not just the stated aim of disrespecting police. I guess I was in disbelief that it was the protests, and there are a variety of factors in play, causing attendance to be down league-wide, but maybe the protests are the biggest factor...? |

But hey, I'm paying less for tix to a Chiefs game than I am for a Mavs ECHL game. That's telling.

I had free tickets to the Eagles game...and was bored. I'm sure it was a lot more exciting before the internet and people had nothing else to do. Football is a better experience on TV...when recorded so you can FF through 1 1/2 hours of soul-sucking commercials. NFL can blame the anthem...but the truth is it's not worth the money anymore. If you're into tailgating...then it becomes a social experience...like a Grateful Dead concert...but other than that I dont see the value. Goodell tried to make this sport appear more important than it was...and banked on the fans being dumber than they thought. Last edited by BlackOp; 12-22-2017 at 11:07 PM.. |

The NFL has a real problem on their hands...the digital babies dont care about football like we did. What they are seeing now...is just the beginning. They think building these giant, billion dollar coliseums are making the "fan experience" better...its not. It's just pricing out their loyal fans.. There has been a monumental shift in culture since the internet became fast...the NFL is stuck in the 90's. Football was never meant to be only affordable by upper-middle class....it's blue-collar entertainment. |

1. Going a full season without attending a Chiefs game. 2. Absolutely no NFL merchandise under the Christmas tree. Lot's of little reasons, but the one thing I cannot and will not overlook is the protests and how the league provided cover for those poor mistreated millionaires. This league is so strict with appearances that they will fine players for stuff like wearing the wrong shoes or a small patch of some form on their clothing, but taking a crap on America, that's cool they have rights you know I don't know how much money the league lost this year from people like myself, but I'm guessing not enough to end the hypocrisy. It's a shame, I enjoy an afternoon at Arrowhead |

This remains the stupidest take of 2017.

That's fine, but this dummy American will continue to keep his pennies in his pocket when it comes to all things NFL until it stops. That's all I was saying in my post.
