I still know a couple fans who stopped watching the NFL 34 years ago, after the 1982 strike. Though passed since 2011, my Brother was one.
Players are paid DISGUSTING amounts of money and the game is getting WORSE! Too many penalties, too many reviews, too many questionable calls in the name of safety (And guys are still dropping) Too many commercials.
TOO MUCH coverage. We have 125 different NFL shows on TV and radio and all they chat about are a selected few players and teams and the drama that pisses fans off.
The NFL has made the game too much of a circus atmosphere with GLUTTONOUS stadiums that have $$$$$$$ bells n whistles that ARE NOT NECESSARY!
The NFL holding cities hostage for RIDICULOUSLY priced stadiums when cities are having hard times paying for city services.
Game days are now a VERY expensive INVESTMENT instead of a simple and fun outing. This world is getting crazier by the week. People are stressed and are finding the NFL less relevant. I still LOVE LOVE LOVE the NFL.......But nothing like I did 25+ years ago. If IIIIIIII have lost a step, I can see where MANY are running the other way!
