ok.....but they're slowly removing all emotion & violence from the game in an ridiculous way. And this is not entirely true anyway, b/c if it was, UFC would be America's league/sport of choice. Hell, boxing would still be king if that was true
I don't even know what you're trying to argue. I said the Thursday night games were ass.
Okay. You recognize that. A lot of fans are recognizing that. And now they're spreading games to other games? The quality of play will continue to decrease and eventually it'll hit them in the pocket if they continue trying to reach out and take more and more money

its definitely on the road to oversaturation
thursday night games, the proposed 18-game schedule, more teams in the playoffs, etc. all at some point will influence this.
tradationally we had bunch of games on sunday and one prime time game on monday. this kept shyt focused. majority of people dont work on sunday and monday night was a cool event to look forward to.
the greed will cause NFL to have games on every day of the week for 23 weeks, where games are scattered everywhere just like nba, nhl and mlb
I love football, but even for me theres such a thing as oversaturation. theres only so long a casual fan will pay attention and be 'excited' by routine everyday matchup. fantasy and gambling were huge factors, but gotta realize that tons of people work on weekdays, on west coast and such. people will tend to play fantasy less because they'll need to check it more often like baseball. when you have to daily keep track of shyt, it becomes a chore for lots of people.
not to mention, the league is on pace to burst the bubble of scoring/passing to the point where even most casual fans will say it resembles arena league.

I really did not understand what the fukk did you mean by this, did you even read what I posted ?
my point is that NFL is well on the road to oversaturating shyt, both to casual and die-hard fan.
personally, I work till 7-8pm pacific on tons of weekdays. Im already missing most thursday and monday games, and it will only get worse.
part of what worked for football to get so popular is the overwhelming majority of games were on sunday when besides church there aint shyt to do.

over saturation: you have ya regular sunday afternoon football, ya 1 evening game. 1 monday nite game, and a TNF game. 2 late season Saturday game, how freaking much is that for casual or die-hard fan
sounds like you missing games is a personal thing and is not the NFL fault, but you wanna blame its too much football.

Games in London, and Bills fans losing a home game for their team to go to Toronto is adding to oversaturation and shytting on your core audience. Those are huge unsustainable money grabs.

basically
to be fair tho, those kind of games arent quite exclusive to NFL. look what mlb has been doing in an effort to globalize their shyt.

I'm not familiar with what the MLB is up to these days. Can't keep up anymore....but I assume it's been beneficial. IMO having teams play outside the country in the middle of a season is ridiculous. I feel bad for home fans as well who basically lose a game per season.
I wonder, you think the NBA has had an easier time globalizing its game because it doesn't resemble games like Cricket or Rugby(in the case of Baseball/Football) along with the affordability of basketball as oppose to Baseball/Football.
