But $8 billion still places the product as a huge success. Sure, angry fans may not buy merchandise. But the vast majority of fans worldwide are not angry. As for viewership. Every person that would have normally been in the stands will now be tuning in instead. Viewership in one small demographic may indeed be down. But that will not offset the rest of the population that is starved for the distraction of the actual game itself.

And don't worry about the future earnings and contract implications. COVID-19 will have hundreds of times more effect on those than the supposed refusal of a small minority of fans that actually do decide to "tune out". Those concerns are already being addressed by the league and the NFLPA as we speak.
You keep saying a small portion of fans believe as I do while ignoring the fact that this very forum has MANY people saying that they're disgusted with the NFL's current state and will not watch it or are very close to tuning out all together.
It's ironic that just a few posts back you suggested that another poster had his head in the sand.
