I will never understand people's infatuation with tv ratings.

If you're watching something and you enjoy it, who cares what the ratings are?
You think anyone sits at home watching Law & Order SVU wondering who else is tuning in on NBC?

Disingenuous

Why do you guys care about player contracts?

I don't.
Except within the context of roster construction because of how it impacts payroll/salary cap.

There is no such impact with TV ratings.
MLB and the 3 other major sports aren't going anywhere.

So it's not disingenuous.
At all.

The 2 biggest names in the MLB playing in the World Series beat a random mediocre MNF game? :ohhh:
Right😂 You put any team that doesn’t have a name casuals recognize and you get shyt like last year where nobody watched.

NFL needs to stop shoving the Giants and Jets down the public throats, trash product year in and year out.
Tell the NFL to stop being obsessed with Aaron Rodgers.


The truth is, the Giants, specifically will keep getting coverage because FOX especially is a slave to the NFC East. Going forward, the Commanders will take more of the games from the Giants, but they'll still get a game or two to not shut out the NYC market.

Exactly...
NFL=$100B/11 years (2022)
NBA=$76B/11 years (2024)
MLB=$12B/7 years (2021) + $595M/7 years (2022) + $10M Roku per season (2024)

I don't know why fans care about TV ratings....During MLB's next negotiation with TV/Media broadcasters...Analytics, Consultants, Execs lol are not going to give a fukk about a single WS game beating a random Week 8 NFL game in TV ratings




Media Rights>>>TV Ratings
Media Rights has more of an impact on roster construction, rules, and the overall product on the field/court/ice/etc

Of course this is a huge deal, they even set the schedule up to not have any Sunday games. Back in the day, the WS was so respected that they had a scheduled week with no SNF so that people could watch the WS.
Back in the old days the nfl respected the traditional schedules of the nba/mlb. The nfl didn’t try to take over their lanes. Every season, They made sure to set up their regular season schedule to avoid direct head to head competition against the World Series. But the sport of Baseball was much more popular and culturally revelant 30-50 years ago. That’s why the nfl didn’t want want smoke and they didn’t want to alienate an piss off their older demographic of fans(who were longtime diehard baseball fans ) It’s still ingrained in American culture today, but will never be omnipresent like it used to be.

NBA games on Christmas was a professional sports tradition and institution. NFL never scheduled games on Christmas out of respect for the NBA. But recently, starting during the 2021 season, the nfl put games on Christmas, directly challenging and competing the nba for viewers and attention. There is an overlap between NFL and NBA fans, the nfl is the biggest and most sports popular league in North America, it doesn’t need more attention on its product, this league doesn’t need more exposure. NFL executives/owners/media people are arrogant, greedy attention whores. And NFL/gambling only fans are addicted, selfish, incurious and close-minded.

And never forget their love of money who fueled their decision to put nfl games on the same day that the nba would put theirs. It was also a petty power move to flex on the nba and and take their second biggest flagship event and signature day after the All-Star game. It was also a superflous and unecessary money grab move. They are just too greedy.

The NFL and Roger Goodell are moving/acting like Deebo since 2021 in the North American sports landscape.

I saw Zach Wilson getting primetime airplay too it's not just a Rodgers issue. NFL is obsessed with making the NY relevant.
