I see some are missing my point entirely. The purpose of this survey is not questioning the reasoning behind a few people's personal decision to stop watching the NFL. Not at all. Go for it. The purpose was a response to a couple that claimed that their abstaining would lead to a revenue hit that would hurt the NFL. This survey in a small way demonstrates the tiny percentage of fleeing fans overall.

I am truly happy for your happiness if that's what you get from not watching. Good for you. Just understand, that in the end, your not watching affects no one but you and yours. That is the point I am making. If you no longer get any enjoyment out of the game, then by all means. Stop watching. Good decision. If politics and stuff in and around the game upsets you, then for your health and happiness you need to stop watching. But if it is solely meant to punish the NFL, then you are not going to accomplish your goal.

It might have been less painful to just breakdown the NFL's revenue by source. Once you do that the game watching impact is realized.

You might also want to point out that denying the NFL revenue by not watching your team only hurts the team and local economy. The teams make the revenue and kick up to corporate, the NFL is structured that way intentionally which is also why the NFL Corporate doesn't pay taxes, they have very little room for profit other than tickets to visit the Hall of Fame.

If that all fails you are beating your head against a brick wall. However, should you wish to continue, you might want to point out that NFL game viewing is not a webpage and they do not get paid by the click. Those contracts and payments have been worked out and will be paid out. Not watching the Saints on Sunday between 12:00-3:00 only affords a person time to spend quality time with their children and wives.
