When was the last time a woke company, not an individual, ever apologized for their twisted and out of touch/untruthful perception on matters and stop catering to the radical portion of the social media mob? Probably never. They just double down, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

You can hold my breath? That's a nice trick. LOL

Been saying this for a while, the revenue created by the TV rights will double it will also cause a big increase in the cap which is why some teams are for the most part barrowing on tomorrow in terms of contracts, the deals are a bit more backend loaded so that they can stay within the cap and be able to retain key players.

As the product gets worse and worse every year on the field, the NFL wants to charge more to watch it.

That sounds like a flawed business plan to me ..

Or pure genius

Yes and I am going to take the side of the fighters in the Coliseum over the rich people eating grapes.

I’m not saying you can’t, but it’s extremely unrealistic to assume you can’t find just as talented gladiators to fight in the stadium on a weekly basis. Athletes are expendable and owners outlast them by decades and many athletes end up blowing their money and as seen as coaches on their former teams, because the owner likes them. The other point being, athletes more often than not end up taking the side of the owners over you, the fan. For all the talk by Dez after getting released, it was only a matter of time before he was back trying to snooze up to the Jones family on Twitter for a roster spot on the Cowboys again.

Also, UFC blew up in a matter of a few years and talent was coming up from everywhere and countless people hate the owner, but he has no problems filling up the stadiums.

We'll just have to wait and see. If this kissing up to wokeness continues next season, I'm not sticking around.

A lot of plebs in here who can't see the writing on the wall. Aside from the diehards and some who don't know how to let go, interest in the NFL and professional sports in general... is tanking.

I think the networks would be fools to pay this extortion scam!

Problem is, networks are losing money in droves if they don't have the NFL.

Football carries these networks entirely.

You kidding me? They can’t even double the minimum wage and the TV stations want more money so we can watch Joe Buck every week. Nuh uh. I hope our President can but a stop to that nonsense.

The broadcast partners include the Joneses, who are always more than willing to pass their expenses on to the fans. I know about supply and demand enough to know that those folks involved in paying more for their product to be televised are likely to pass that expense on to those receiving the product in question. I'm not trying to protect the TV networks. Protecting the fans, who are the ultimate benefactors of additional expenses is my consideration. The broadcast partners will be the ones demanding more money for their product in the final analysis. The benefactors getting the goodies are always the ones ultimately being charged for the additional expense. It's always the "little guy" who pays in the end. That's you and I, my friend.

It will not be the owners passing along expenses, they will be gaining from the TV contract.
Well, eventually they will pass it on. As products they buy for concessions will eventually go up, so they the prices will as well for the fans. When I had my season tickets, I would eat before I went to the games. And bought 2 beers, one before the game and one at half time, so cost me like $18. However many times I just bought a Dr. Pepper, for $5 or $6, can't remember, and it lasted me into the 3rd quarter.

You are correct, the mass population will pay for it in the end. Even those that do not watch football. That new car one wants / needs to buy, well, that MSRP will go up by oh, say, $2,000.
Those beer commercials, expect to pay more now. Not just in the stores, but at your local watering hole as well. A bag of Doritos, will go up at least 50¢.

You expect the government to actually give a crap about you?

Let alone professional sports?

IT goes to the highest bidder all the time.

And that ain't us plebeians.

There are many theories about the decline but the one the NFL will not accept is that they are ruining the game on TV. The start/stop jerky presentation of the product causes me to drift and lose interest and it's not just commercial breaks.

Whatever happened to that time limit on ref reviews when they first instituted that part of the game? I happened to be timing something on my grill this past season and noted one review took 7 minutes to get the ball back into play.

There definitely needs to be a limit on reviews. I kinda like the way the XFL did reviews if you watched them last year. For some reason it didn't seem as long showing behind the veil a bit on how they are seeing replays. Plus as the viewer you can see where either the reviewer sees it as called or makes a mistake. But I honestly think they should only do ads at 2 minute warnings and in between quarters and maybe have bonus ones for potential injuries. If you want extended breaks at half time that's fine I guess. But really if we are seeing more towards online being important for these games ads should be way less.

i bet you’re between 14-22 years old. I bet you couldn’t successfully run an etsy shop making 20k a year, or a subway making 150k a year. Do you know how many businesses go under every single day? Now, do you know how many billionaires there are? Here let me help you, right around 3 thousand. Out of 8 million people, there are only 32 men who own an NFL team. If you believe it’s as easy as you say, you should buy some Geico or start a paper route and see if you can make it work.

31. Green Bay is owned by the city or something like that.
