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?

Watch a commercial. It is all about Live betting during an event. Now days you just don't bet win or lose old man.

Most people want to do the Live betting on the games they are currently watching. The more they can spread out the games to different days and times, the more live betting they are going to get.

AI Overview

In-game (or live) NFL betting allows you to wager on games as they happen, with odds and betting lines updating in real-time based on the current score, time remaining, and field position. You can place live bets between plays, drives, or quarters on markets like the moneyline, point spread, and specific player props.
How Live NFL Betting Works

Dynamic Odds: As the game progresses (e.g., a team scores or a key player gets injured), oddsmakers instantly adjust the lines.

Quicker Markets: In addition to standard game lines, you can bet on granular events, such as whether the next drive will result in a touchdown or a field goal, or the exact result of the next play.

Cash Out Options: Many platforms offer an early cash-out feature, allowing you to settle your bet before the game ends to either lock in a partial profit or cut your losses.

I have done some Live Betting with my brother when we were at a bar watching a game. It was pretty fun, and did get me more into the game we were watching.

Well thats good for the bars but I didn’t dispute that. You can still live bet on Sundays.

The NFL is making the Boxing mistake, getting too greedy, and putting everything behind a paywall. I am not paying for more services or packages, certainly not in this economy.

Worse comes to worse, I will just listen to radio online and watch highlight clips.

60% of sports fans said they had skipped games because the viewing setup had become too expensive. 72% reportedly believed major sporting events should remain on free broadcast television.

Hasnt hurt the league yet but those are bad numbers for the NFL and as you said in this economy and people struggling, fatigue may set in eventually.
