If 19 year old guys could cheer for real sports teams, and see real sportsmanship, real love of country and team ... if 19 year old guys had an alternative ... would that impact their anti-social behavior?

And is this study worth a post?

If the 19 year old ‘kid’ was juiced up on prescription medication (as has been suggested), then it really doesn’t matter about discussing the woes of the NFL.

I do agree that the ratings business is permanent and will worsen for the next season, but their ‘business model’ has come and gone.

It’s about the disrespect to the flag, faun social justice and nothing more. They blew it.

As long as the players keep using it and the owners keep letting them use it and the commissioner keep letting them use it as a political platform, it’s doomed.

Start the Rollerball leagues up with no penalty, no time limit. First one to score wins.

Here’s the elephant in the room: The NFL stands for coddled felons being paid outrageous amounts of money to publicly insult America on national media while all of its officials and team owners look on, applauding.

Of course, more money will be spent on studies to tell the NFL it isn’t so.

Back around 2000, I was watching the SB with my daughter who was about 8 years old. The NFL / Fox allowed an ad with simulated sex, the two were doing it on a desk and the woman was moaning real loud. The NFL started to lose me right then. I can’t even watch a game with my daughter with that raunchiness.

Should have fired the Kneelers or at least benched them from the start.
To late now.

Enough is enough. How can I support
an operation that is dedicated to pushing dubious
social causes?  That ain't sports.  That's a mass sashay.

The problem for them is, to paraphrase from
the movie Airplane, "I picked a bad presidential cycle to jink left."

Sportsmanship is a word I haven’t heard in a long on any NFL
broadcast.
Every (literally) scoring play is not official till reviewed by “new york’’.
Fantasy football inspires individualism for some players.
Far too many game stoppages, especially late in close games while they try to figure out who is going to win.
Refs on camera time needs to be cut way back.
Hash marks should be moved outside to where they used to be.
Owners have let some senator’s son take all the authority from them while
paying him $50 mill a year. WTF?
I gave up on the league this year.

But did they include any ex-fans in the survey?

NFL Needs to Rediscover Its Heart If It's to Overcome Ratings Slump

I would maintain that the NFL's true heart has been on display ever since that Cap(whatever) started this fustercluck.

And that's even setting aside the obscene salary being doled out to that gutless puke Goodell.

I hope the bastards collapse like a cheap tent and end up working at McDonalds.

Rugby is typically more entertaining and the players take more risk because they aren’t as well protected.

And, get rid of the Commissioner (and all others who are helping him, too), who is, purposefully, doing all that he can do to destroy the entire NFL! Not doing so=The NFL is doomed!

I don’t know why the continue to deny it, but from what I see the #1 reason is this kneeling bs and disrespect to the flag.

I never missed a week of NFL for 25 years straight. The past two years, I’ve watched 1 game. And I regret it.

Just like giving up hollywood, I’m happier not participating with these fools.
