The NFL currently the least liked sport

[cowboy_ron]

It's popping up on several news sights.
It also states that the "core" fans is down a whopping 31%........and the owners want to extend Goodell??

Forget about these "minor" details Roger, stick with what's really important to you like sticking it to Zeke Elliott on a made up charge.

 

[Tabascocat]

I find that very hard to believe. That won't be the case as long as soccer, NBA and NHL are still alive

 

[BlueStar22]

Bull

 

[Ranching]

Bull crap. The people that say they hate the NFL are all watching and playing Fantasy Football.

 

[punchnjudy]

Well I could believe "least liked commissioner."

 

[hornitosmonster]

BS, the NFL still is #1 in ratings. They only way to really hurt the NFL would be Jerry suing for the right to negotiate his own tv deal. It would be a massive profit sharing hit to the other owners

 

[BigD5]

I can see it still leading in ratings but still being the least liked.

Kinda like how the Cowboys are the most loved and most hated team at the same time

 

[DandyDon1722]

Yeah - and today's rating will be the highest rated show on television this week.

And as I type this I cannot find a parking space at the sports bar I'm going to.

Other than that...

NEVER underestimate the incompetence of Roger Goodell.

The NFL can be the least liked sports, but still get it's ratings.
There is nothing opposite Sunday afternoons, or even Sunday nights to oppose ratings. Fans will still watch, as mentioned, for fantasy / betting.

The game is being ruined. Too many stupid rule changes, as well as all the other stuff. Anthem, the Dictator serving of Zeke. The poor officiating. Bias from the refs and FO.

Now one of their ways to speed up the game, or another way, which takes away from the quality of the game. They are starting the clock after the ball is out of bounds. Instead of just eliminating commercials. That takes more time than restarting the clock. This in game 30 second commercials, showing the players in an inset...oh, yeah, great, it doesn't save any time.

Can't put a finger on the QB without a penalty, yes that changes the game and has an influence on the outcome.

It will just keep getting worse, nothing is ever for the better. Next up...remove KO's and Punts. Just flip the coin, take the ball at the 25.
Punts, just move the ball 45 yards down field, or punt and fair catch or let it drop and down it. No return attempts allowed. Then in 5 years there will be no sacking the QB.

Soccer is the international sport and with the dangers of football being exposed there won't be many parents letting their kids play. In the next 15-20 years soccer will be competing for the most popular sport in this country.

Exactly just like the Cowboys are the least liked team but also the most popular.

I love football I just hate the way it's covered by sports media. I am literally at the point where I watch zero pre-game programming and zero post-game programming.

The coverage has become pathetic.

I don't believe it bit I still refuse to watch any other games but the Cowboys and I'm loving the time I have without the games. I never thought I'd be happy on a,Sunday not watching football. But now that I forced myself to do it I love Sundays even morw.

I won't watch any pre-game shows anymore. I can't stand them.

Right, I rarely watch anything either. Just catch something here and there as I check in on things.

Will watch local reports. Like this morning. I watched 4 shows I recorded. Cowboys special Edition, Jason Garrett show, though they are replayed again today just before noon kickoffs. But recorded them last night. also can watch them on the team website.
A show called cover 4, on this morning, and Inside Cowboys.

Then there was the live Cowboys show at 10:30 CST on CBS. Those take up a good part of the time Sunday morning. I will record their post games shows as well. Right now before any games start, I am posting this, but also doing a few things around the house.

And....

I never could see the appeal of soccer.

If I lived in Texas and could get Cowboys pre-game shows I might watch them. It's the national shows I hate.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah that's not true. People are just mad at the NFL.
