For sure it's the SB data, but the trend is that the NFL is losing a vital demographic and has been for a very long time. My kid, like all other kids, simply has better things to do.

30 years ago MLB began to experience the same thing and still hasn't fully recovered.

It's why the NFL kowtowed to the "woke" movement. It's the reason for the kiddie broadcasts on Nick. It's the reason the NFL has partnered with Vegas - a dangerous prospect all things considered. Roger is fully aware of what he's doing and why.

Generic viewership data is all but worthless in the context of the point, which OP is trying to start another argument about because he 'lost' the last one. There is no argument to be made. The NFL is hemorrhaging everybody's target demographic.
