"I think the NFL is about 10 years away from an implosion"-Mark Cuban

[duncanthetall]

I mean playing on a Sunday and then on again on Thursday is pretty much just as bad as playing on Thursday then on Sunday.

Pretty damn close for sure.

What could be more arrogant than admitting your officials blew a call on the final play that changed the result of a game and refusing to change the result when you have the authority to do so or defending your replacement refs that the lingerie league fired for incompetence making said call?

I think Cuban is wrong. He is forgetting that while the NFL is a business, it's foundation is an American sport. The most popular American sport. The love of that is just not going to go away. It's too rooted in the fabric of this country, like guns, sex, alcohol, fast food and drugs. It's ridiculously popular on all levels - pee we, high school, college, and the pros. And the comparison to "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" is HORRIBLE. There are 100 game shows on tv. That was a gimmick. Put that in the same group as American Idol. Football is basically an American institution that precedes all of our births.

Ratings may vary a little year to year, but the only way I can see any significant change in the popularity of the NFL is if another pro football league comes into being.

God get rid of Thursday games. The players hate it and the games overall suck.

At this point I'm starting to believe Roger Goodell is an agent secretly trying to destroy the NFL, because this is beyond ridiculous now

Breh...rednecks are not boycotting football all like that. The ones who are weren't really interested anyway. It's the passive fan that the league is losing. Rednecks don't have enough diligence to boycott anything long term anyway. Soon as they heard Carry Underwood screaming "ohhhh Sunday night" they felt at home and forgot there issue. It's the educated sophisticated fan that's bailing.

Educated and sophisticated is debatable

everything you said was previously said about baseball.

 

[Bolzmark]

everything you said was previously said about baseball.

MLB is worth $36 Billion, each team an average of $1.2 Billion, values have gone up like 20% over the last couple years, got a big new tv contract, got players making $200 million.

What's your point?

 

[L. Deezy]

Cuban got a point. NFL over-saturating itself sooner or later it fans will turn away from it.

Lmao... says one of the NBA's most outspoken critics of his own sport

NFL is not going anywhere. It will always be the most popular.

All that said and baseball is still dying

How so?

He's made players robots now. The product is becoming trash. He's scrambling to figure out why he's losing so many viewers, when he's the problem. He's taking the entertainment from the game. Teams are even getting fined 20K for posting gifs during games. That's more than a head to head targeting hit (18K)
