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

[jetflyinglimousineriding]

I guess he wants to try and get in since the NFL didn't implode last year

 

[Piff Perkins]

He won't get credit but ultimately yes, the NFL is going to destroy itself. The greed and over expansion is going to reach a breaking point, and the biggest problem is that before that happens the venture capitalists will get in the door. And just like they do with every market they enter (print, journalism, music, film, television, etc) they're gonna start making destructive financial cuts and creating debt packages for potential buyers. Who will predominantly be foreign. Saudis, most likely.

Overseas expansion is a major step towards oblivion for the NFL. Nobody wants NFL teams in London, Paris etc besides soldiers stationed overseas (who are used to pretend like actual Europeans give a shyt about the games). I'd also argue, on a smaller/micro level, that the over Christmas saturation is another step towards oblivion. Attention is not support. There is no need for so many games on Christmas. It's great for advertisers but bad for the game, players, fans, etc.

And I say this as someone who LOVES the NFL, football, etc.

Nothing bigger than the Shield. They are like the federal government. Here to stay.

Funny you say that and the league just allowed private equity to invest in teams last year.

Dudes were praying on the NFL's downfall like the NBA wasn't trending downwards.

His entire comments were saying the NFL was ten years away from an implosion, and that comment was made eleven years ago. The NFL is thriving more than ever, so in no way, shape, or form could Cuban ever be correct with what he said. If anything, he was as wrong as can be.

Sure, someday the NFL will probably implode, just like any business, but that won't be anytime soon. It's like someone saying the Roman Empire was going to fall in five years, and when they finally fell a century later, giving them credit saying they were right..

My point is he won't get the credit because he was wrong about the ten years, but ultimately it's gonna implode.

If by implode you mean sell their soul to the highest bidders like European Soccer Clubs have, sure. But the show will never stop

why are the Xmas games bad for the game?

It won’t happen the way you said it would and it will be a loooooooooong time before it even gets to that point.

why are the Xmas games bad for the game?

Mixture of weird over saturation, greed, no regard for player safety, and turning one of the most celebrated holidays into another work day for multiple teams/staffs. This started with the heavy expansion into Thursday Night Football, which most of us agreed was wack due to the short prep weeks and bad matchups. There's not enough time to recover from Sunday to Thursday. Especially if you're playing a 4PM or (god forbid) 8PM game on that Sunday beforehand.

My squad (Lions) are playing four Thursdays, including both Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's insanity.

Another dumbass akin to Morey and Phil Jackson.

TBF, they're playing three Thursday games but one of them is after the typical seven days rest.

The Xmas games averaged 26.5 millions viewers and that was on Netflix.

All this "they're getting greedy, there's too many games" talk is irrelevant when the ratings are getting higher. Football is king and will remain that way.

Player safety isn't stopping anyone from tuning in. That's an issue for the players and NFLPA to address.

If the NFL implodes what happens to the NBA? Are the ex football fans choosing basketball? If the NFL fails there's going to be some societal reason and sports on the whole will falter.
