I'd love to watch more but I'm stuck with whatever the local stations play OTA. I refuse to pay for it :( -- nm - Meg Feb 23, 13:59
Perhaps TV broadcasters are not actually ready for some football. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 23, 13:57
100% increase for a sport that is losing young viewers left and right...? -- nm - MDH Feb 23, 13:42 13
- 7% decrease in viewership --probably some to cable cutting, but mainly NFL being tied to political stances. -- (edited) - Flavorize Feb 23, 13:55 4
  - No, people just look at the data the wrong way. All TV ratings are trending down. NFL did FAR better than any other league with championship ratings. -- nm - David Feb 23, 14:15 3
    - High on my list of time travel items is to take a TV Nielsen rating from now back to 1995 and watch an exec have a heart attack. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:22 2
      - "That's right, the top rated show on TV got a *10* rating." "Did... did two-thirds of the population die?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:28 1
        
        "Now that you mention it, a lot of actors in 2020 tv will perform in masks." -- nm - Max Feb 23, 16:39
- I feel football is in serious trouble. I don’t know statistically if this is true but I suspect that head injuries are turning parents away from enrolling their kids. -- nm* - Mop Feb 23, 13:46 7
  - I feel like college football can/is getting watered down because of what you mentioned. But the NFL is still the top 1% of 1% of players -- nm - Flavorize Feb 23, 13:53 3
    - They'll always be able to field enough players in the NFL. I think the gist is what will happen in 15-20 years when no one young cares to watch it? -- nm - MDH Feb 23, 13:57 2
      - They can take their cues from MLB and hopefully adjust accordingly? -- nm - JD Feb 23, 14:42
      - It's like Tiger and golf. He is the only golfer that drives ratings. Without him, they don't know what to do. -- nm - MDH Feb 23, 13:58
  - Football is in very bad shape for exactly the reasons you mention. Granted baseball and gold not too far behind, but for other reasons. -- nm - MDH Feb 23, 13:50 2
    - We’ve been biding our time, boys... but our opportunity is almost he— WTF?! Who let MLS in?! -- nm - NHL Feb 23, 13:59
    - Austin Powers in ... Golfmember -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:53
