Is the NFL on the verge of causing its fans to suffer football fatigue?

I think this person underestimates the Draw of the NFL. I don't know if there is a place on this planet where the NFL is not going to sell out an International game.

It is funny someone was saying if the NFL keeps its 17 game seasons, they could expand to 16 International games, so every team would play 8 home games, 8 road games and 1 International game.

 

I really don't understand all the complaining folks do when it comes to sports. Watch it or don't. Everyone streams these days.

The game keeps growing so this idea that it's being ruined is laughable.

Fans boo Goodell at the draft every year. It's cute and all but these fans are paying $20 a pop for a tall can of Ultra to hear names being read on a stage for 3 days.

What other sport has 800K showing up over 3 days for a draft?

 

Because it's an American game stupid crap like making the 49ers travel to Australia and Mexico City this season.

 

The game is being ruined because the NFL is too greedy, you don't need games on Wednesday's, Friday's and not everybody can afford all of those different streaming services.

 

For me, I think this season is it.
I don't want to waste my time on it. I don't like this 10-game thing going on overseas, now it can rob fans of 2 home games.
Goodell is just trash... I've never really warmed up to him.
He's going to get an 18th game.
I don't even like the gambling side.....
So, it's time to move on I guess.

 

Not everyone but yeah a lot of people stream. And streaming is becoming a pain in the ass in its own right, with every service having its own app and dealing with multiple logins and multiple subscriptions that aren't always easy to cancel, plus rising prices and more viewing restrictions.

I don't understand how you don't understand the complaining when it comes to the most profitable sport on earth continuing to push the envelope to become even richer at the expense of their fans.

Going to a game these days requires dropping $500+ for 2 people. At least. Add another $100 if you want to eat and drink anything at a stadium.

If you're out of market, getting the Sunday ticket just to watch your team is around $300

Then if they play a game exclusively on a streaming channel that you don't have, you're dropping another ~$20 to watch it.

For those of us who can afford it all, its not a big deal. But there's a good part of the population who can't. And for them, all the money-grubbing changes mean less football for them. Sure, we don't have to watch it all but I can see why people complain.
