I used to buy NFL merch all the time, have Sunday Ticket every year, and even attend games in the Dome periodically.

No more. The NFL has not see one thin dime out of my pockets since about 2018 and I don't think I am alone. The Taylor Swift fan base if fickle and will not always be there for the NFL.

The game is a shell of what I grew up watching. Maybe I lay too much of the blame on Goodell and not enough on the owners, but this game has been wussified and whored out to the $.

Folks should give the NHL a try. I never was much in to it because I did not understand the rules and the strategy. Once I watched enough to know that, it is an awesome game. And almost all of the players are just down to earth blue collar guys. Not the prima donas of the NFL or the thugs of the NBA.

The game I grew up watching was no where as exciting as it is now. Four yards and a cloud of dust.

As for hockey, I have tried watch TV and am bored stiff. The only way to watch is in person. Completely different experience. I believe it loses so much in translation to TV that to me it is unwatchable. Football is actually enhanced by TV.

I personally am not motivated by perceived personality traits between the leagues as a whole. There are, I understand, prima donnas in the NHL, and down to earth blue collar players in the NFL. A lot of them. Don't care for the NBA at all, however.

I for one cannot get enough of the NFL. I believe that is probably the prevalent viewpoint of NFL fans today. The game has never been more popular and the fans are eating it up more than ever.

Guido is correct!

Goodell is "The Mouth Piece Of The Owners" The 31 NFL team owners are his boss, they hired him and he in turn does THEIR bidding. He happily suffers the slings and arrows of OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE ($40,000,000 a year )
You'd be lying if you said you would turn that amount down to do the same.

Like others I no longer believe it's a "game".

A little sleight of hand, What's a catch? What is Pass Interference? Some smoke and mirrors, How could _____________________ have slipped so far in the draft? add a dash of Celebrity love interest, That Ertz is a Swift TE mix well, serve almost every day and or night of the week "That's Entertainment"

You can't spell $CRIPTED without the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Vent all you want on Goodell, that's what he's there for. Pay no attention to those 31 Owners behind the curtain!
