Who needs to go to an NFL game when they can watch the youtube of the full Super Bowl III? Original NBC broadcast with call by Curt Gowdy. Excellent game.

It was "old news" before Trump brought it to the front again. People were not tuning in or not tuning in because a couple guys knelt during the Anthem. They care more about the game (or don't care about the game).

This. The NFL might as well be called the No Football League. The quarterbacks can’t be touched. The receivers can’t be touched. Defensive back are penalized for playing defense. Kickoffs now routinely sail though the back of the end zone. Flags everywhere. Replays take half the game. Players aren’t allowed to practice.
And what is the NFL worried about? Player Celebrations. Cam Newton’s opinion of women & route running. Super Bowl (Lady Gaga) Halftime Shows. Kneeling.
What a joke.
In the end the jokes on them. This is coming from a former High School Footbal Coach.

This may well be true, and the protests by underperforming players is the straw that broke the camel's back.

I don't deny that attendance has dropped. I do disagree that the credit for that goes to Donald Trump. He is using it as a distraction from his failure to get Congress to pass his legislation.

NFL ratings are starting to improve despite distractions
NFL ratings won’t necessarily spend the whole season on their knees.
This year’s football season got off to a disastrous start by any measure, but a close look at the numbers shows that viewership has improved with each successive week — to where it is down 7.2 percent through Week 5, a crunching of Nielsen numbers by The Post reveals.
That’s an improvement after weeks 1 and 2, when cumulative viewership was down 12.3 and 11.5 percent, respective, from last year, as games faced disruptions from hurricanes as well as mounting distractions from the spectacle of players kneeling in protest during the National Anthem.
“The sky definitely isn’t falling,” a TV sports executive told The Post. “The narrative for this season is by no means written.”
For the season’s first 31 national NFL telecasts — excluding just this week’s “Monday Night Football” game — viewership has averaged 15.4 million.
The Nielsen numbers from the latest MNF were not released at press time.
Viewership numbers relative to last season improved each week this season, according to Nielsen.
That is some good points.
I have always thought of pro football as being like the Roman gladiator/circus deal.
So yeah.... there is way less violence in today's NFL, yet today's players get paid millions. And I agree with others that along with all the other silliness, maybe this take-a-knee business is simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

The league has also evolved from about 10% women watchers to over 45% and climbing. It is the fastest growing segment. While at the same time male viewers have declined. We saw cheerleaders disappear from TV and played way down at live games. We now have to endure these 50 something year old hags reading scripts on the sidelines just to appease the feminist regime. Asking questions like "how is that concussion?" or "how do you plan on over coming a 21 point deficit at halftime?".
We have commercials for makeup and women pharmaceuticals during the games. Half time shows are geared for women. It is the fastest growing segment of the sales business and women buy WAY more lame crap off TV commercials than men do. The NFL has massively toned down the violence and are evolving the rules to attract more women viewers thus selling more sponsor advertised crap.
Now we have the feminist pushing agendas like violence against women, breast cancer etc crap with players wearing pink shoes, ribbons and other garbage to highlight feminist causes. The feminist are also now pushing these minority causes with the poor pitiful me being abused by the police and middle class white males.
This isn't about any one of these things. It is the decade after decade progression in the wrong direction from the original male viewing audience. They are making the NFL a women run and women viewer dominated sport. OH don't forget they are doing this with the entire country too!
These polls remind me of peer pressure, when someone says "everybody is doing it." The polls were so wrong in predicting that Hillary would win. It seems they are used more to corral and herd us rather than inform us. Here they tell us to take a side. Screw them. I could care less.
Why should I care that grandstanding millionaires who play a kids game are derided by a grandstanding politician reality show star when the millionaires claim to be oppressed and somewhere in there I should feel white guilt? I bet in reality 80 ℅ of Americans could care less about this silly show.
Can’t have Alpha Males walking around out there when you’re trying to build a Global Government for your own benefit. For some reason they fight back.
While the feminization of pop culture is one major aspect of NFL rule changes and the decline of the league in general, there is more to this story.
The State destroys everything it touches. Healthcare is an absolute disaster. It’s been a disaster ever since the Great Society and LBJ (Sorry Obama ruined everything crowd).
The fruits of this Healthcare debacle can be seen in the NFL. Players, who destroyed their bodies in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s are laying in hospital beds and they want the NFL to pay for their (criminally expensive) healthcare. The NFL has paid out millions if not billions in healthcare lawsuits. Therefore, the owners look to the State (which they control as much as the players on the field) to push these costs on to the taxpayers.
The NFL (and all leagues owned by the same international clique of swamp creatures) supports and has supported National Healthcare (and anything that will get us to National Healthcare I.e Obamacare) whenever and wherever possible. Including when they had “elite stars” like Ray Rice hawking “Health Exchanges” in Maryland before he proceeded to knock out his (future) wife and then proceed to cover it up to protect the face of their campaign.
In addition, the NFL has decided, as all companies run my Wall Street attorneys do, to limit future lawsuits by changing the rules of the industry (game), removing the violent (football) aspects for the betterment of their bottom line.
The targeting of a new female market is a way to make up for a product (real football) which these $#@!s believe is no longer “sustainable” for their profits long-term.
The Football Gods would call it treason. Lombardy is rolling in his grave.

Are the NFL teams going to rely on single payer to perform knee surgeries on their star players?

But NFL players don't fight back. They obediently and happily accept the globalist script for bread and circuses. The NFL is exactly the type of thing the globalists utilize to build their cabal. The NFL distracts the masses from political engagement.

It's not too late to scroll up to post #91 in this thread and enjoy the Jets & Colts in Super Bowl III.
Great analysis. I gave up on the NFL a long time ago. This season I have also finally given up on the NBA since they don't call traveling or carrying. It's not real basketball. And the Warriors are the local team, so that's pretty good evidence of how uninterested I have become.

Baseball is not far behind. All the socialist feminist run cities like Chicago, New York etc are now moving their totally useless and unwanted 50+ year old women into the announcer booths. They have no announcer voices and know little if anything about baseball. Asking completely lame questions down on the field was not enough. They need to have them sitting in the booth reading scripts without a clue and chiming in lame crap some editor shoves in front of them. They don't have decades of playing baseball up through college ball and announcing AAA ballgames to get there.
The networks won't pole their audience to find out if they want these women in the announcer booths in baseball or any sports because they know the answer in advance. You will get the quality of your broadcasts lowered to accommodate a feminist regime. Then follows all the rule, marketing etc changes to accommodate the women. The sports are eventually morphed into some bogus different sport.
We now have to let girls in the frigging Cub and Boy Scouts up through Eagle Scout programs! There are things boys like to do without girls and men like to do without women. Why are these totally benign privacies being invaded?
I wasn’t referring to the players. Just because you’re physically large and muscular doesn’t mean your an Alpha Male. I was referring to the rest of us. The armed, critically thinking American Patriarchs who protect their families and their communities at all costs. We are the targets of the mass feminization movement. The NFL and the rest of pop culture is being used as a weapon to soften American Male resolve, destroy the family and atomize individuals for control by the State. Look at Europe for how this plays out.
This is why they are scared $#@!less about Concealed Carry Reciprocity. The Globalist (New York, LA, Washington) Elite (Thieves) are worried about the Good Ole Boys regaining conscienceness and showing up on their front doorstep when SHTF.
Which brings me to Las Vegas...

Not for productive cattle (current players). For the washer up retired former talent. I’m sure they would send them to the VA if they could.
The only thing I watch is playoff Hockey. I gave up on the NBA before the NFL.
Ah! Thanks. I totally misunderstood you previously.
At least the NFL (which I no longer watch) appears to rigorously enforce its rule book. Unlike FAKE possessions NBA.
How does this affect listener ratings? Advertising revenues? Here in the Bay Area the Warriors have a pretty decent radio announcer calling the game. It's a male. I wouldn't mind a woman doing play by play as long as they were talented and totally into it like a geek.
P.S. The Bay Area was spoiled by having one of the greatest local announcers in sports history, Bill King (did both Raiders and Warriors in their hey days of the 60's & 70's.):

Viewership decline has nothing to do with Trump. It has a lot to do with Kaepernick and the trend he started, BLM, and their campaign of misinformation. Viewership was already declining. Now it shows a more dramatic decline after Trump interjected. People who were already perturbed got angry and decided to do something.
This is something to watch out for. Trump's unfiltered mouth and Twitter thumb tends to embolden and empower people to take action they wouldn't ordinarily do. You could see this happening during the Republican debates. After the first one, everyone stepped up their games.
I think it is a good idea to step back and ask what is really going on here. Granted, Trump is a lightning rod for abuse, but this is how he plays the game.
The next question is: Is there a way Liberty people can use Trump's style to empower more people to embrace a liberty life here in the US?

Count me in that 80%.
The NFL is learning the hard way what happens when one tries to challenge the majestic and awesome powers of the DJ Donald Trumpmaster D.

Except it's not Trump. The fans are fed up. The NFL sucks up a lot of local resources and doesn't contribute much to the communities they plunder. They have a track record of criminal behavior. We practically needed a whole precinct to babysit PacMan Jones when he was with the Titans.
The only injustice in the NFL is that these people were not made to earn their way to college and learn how to be men. They got preferred placement, grade inflation, and the whole bit.
For these people to carry out protests in front of the people who defend their liberty and safety every day is a joke.

Sorry, my new Dodgers shirt just came and I had to get ready for work.
What I'm saying to you all is that you are being used by the MSM to shape the narrative any way they want. It's clear they have an agenda. They keep telling you straight out. You all can either learn to filter through liberty logic or let hatred for Trump allow you to become a tool of the MSM.

Totally agree about Bill King. I also remember the old AFL which was incredible to watch. Having two competing professional football teams was a great idea and you always loose quality with a monopoly. Loved the Madden years and the guy was one of the best announcers ever.
Some guys might not mind a woman baseball announcer and I suppose some Cub Scouts like girls in their dens and Boy Scouts who want girls but not the overwhelming majority. Same with guys doing Tupperware or lingerie parties for the women. Could guys be really into it? Yes, but it just is not going to fly.
