So the big factoid is that the 2-YEAR drop (from opening game 2015 to opening game 2017) is ....

17.5%

If that doesn't light a fire under Goodell and the owners then what will? Shall they wait for a 40% drop????

If anything like that magnitude persists over a whole season they are looking at losing billions in revenues. Of course I would greatly prefer that they cared about the substance of the issues, but when team and league revenues take a serious hit, welllll.... money talks!!!

I think Goodell and most owners are still in denial, or they at least won't admit to the public what the problem is. The question is how long will they keep up the pretense.

Liberalism only cares about liberalism. You might be looking at the situation through a thoughtful, sane worldview.
