Some thoughts on the NFL

[Longboysfan]

Thinking about the Cowboys and the NFL since Jerry bought the team.

I was watching a Civil war lecture about what the military learned after that.
Very little.

The few people who learned from the Civil War were the German Military - Heinz Guderian and Erwin Rommell. And George Patton.

There's a lot to be learned from this in many ways.

The NFL led by Jerry's example is always trying to get more exposure and up sell the product.
People like old school Mara just want to hold onto power. And anything the new era owners think is no good.

There are some parallels here in just learning from what happened before.
While the old NFL let the exposure come to them and the profits - Jerry goes out and grabs it up.

It will be interesting to see the landscape of the NFL in 20 years when the next group of owners, Jerry kids, takes over and how the league evolves.

Given the concussion issues, there are some who believe their won't be an NFL in 20 years.
I'm not one of those, but changes are needed.

How the NFL is being watched, especially by millenniels is changing. They would rather watch YouTube highlights than sit in front of a TV for 3+ hours. Especially when a third of that time is commercials.

Viewership is evolving quickly and the NFL needs to keep up or it will fall far behind. Listening of the old schools families like the Mara's and Rooney's will be a receipe for disaster.

well the North won and the South still likes to act like it won. there is no impetus for change.

The Germans participated in trench warfare in WW1. There were also advances but they were mainly in fortification and artillery. Rommel utilized the new fast mechanized cavalry and applied it as opposed to anything else.

You need a standing army to train and strong well dispersed leadership to pull off modern infantry tactics. There just wasn't the infrastructure for that outside of the Ottoman Empire prior to WW2.

look at minute 16 to 19.

Perfect reply - watch the video link and you will see the point I'm sort of trying to make.

You are correct. There will be the NRL, National Robot League, that will be more interactive and dominate after the lawyers get thru with the NFL. Just like The Jetsons.

jerry has already done that with the tv contract.
but they obstructing.
you can wait for them to die off or run some sneak attack that destroys their defenses.
the pot issue is perfect.
conspire with the union and do an end-around that destroys all their defenses.
like having all the players test positive for pot at the same time.
