N/S but such complete BS that I'm posting about it here
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Let's not forget that football is no longer a sport. It's entertainment and the NFL is going after the younger audience too and Taylor Swift is a big draw....

No. It's still a sport, but just the biggest grossing sport in the world. Yet, it is also entertainment. One of the reasons why the NFL continues to explode in popularity is indeed its ability to target new and different audiences. MLB could learn a few lessons from the NFL. You have to identify with the newer younger audiences. You have to bring in more female fans. I know there's already female fans, but it has still been marketed far more to the guys for decades which made sense when the man was the breadwinner. That is no longer the fact. |

Have Derek Carr watch film of Terry Bradshaw, Marino, Montana, or Drew Brees, and he’d have to admit that he himself shouldn’t even be wearing a Saints uniform, let alone command half the salary he’s receiving.
You are defending a business model that moves the money from your wallet to advertisers, through the guise of tremendous athletes who are operating at a minuscule fraction of their physical potential, in a franchise that has become irrelevant in a league of better managed and coached entertainers. You are supporting the entertainment business, more than the game of football, and this is where the game of football is at. |
