At the current rate a few years actually.. But there's no way that NFL will lose 13% a year continually. So that will tail off severely next year or year after. It's a lot harder to lose die hard than fringe... If I were to place an estimate on where the NFL ends up. I'd say they will consistently lose 3-5 percent a year after the initial falling off a cliff is done (which again, can't last more than another year) add a percentage or two if the Anti American bullshit is allowed to continue further. So anywhere from 3-6% a year. And there will be probably an 8 or 9% year when Rodgers retires as well. But that will be a one time outlier. <cite>SSJBGenkiDama posted [p:889308471] in The NFL ra...

Manning leaving was the straw that broke the camels back for a ton of people. i don't think one player leaving in a league with a bunch of star players actually affects ratings that much It does. It's just like the NBA with Jordan in 99 trying to blame the lock out and every other reason. Especially in the case of the NFL. The NBA at least had Ewing and Barkley who were comparable to being known like Jordan. (Though not in the same stratosphere) And a bevy of upcoming super talented stars on the horizon. The NFL has none of that. The next most recognizable after Peyton was Rodgers, who mind you, was leagues behind him AND rubs some people the wrong way (I don't know why, but he does) and then a huge way down from Rodgers is his brother from osmosis, and then someone everyone hates.

Ashethan 10/28/17 11:45:40 AM #18:	A combination of factors. #1: The fact that TV ratings in general are declining as people turn to other mediums to watch what they watch. Including mobile devices. Cord cutting is having a bigger effect than most people realize. Yeah, local channels are technically free. But you need an antenna to get them. #2. Overexposure. They now have Thursday Night Football, Sunday game at noon, Sunday game at 4:00, and Sunday Night game, as well as Monday Night game (not to mention two monday night games in week 1, and the multiple London games that put Football on in the morning.) #3: Decline in Parity. Same teams win every year, and people lose interest. #4. Football just isn't the same game. Sometimes they don't just let the players play. This also plays into #3. A great QB is good for more wins than it should be. #5. Some teams are just perennial losers. Fans get fed up with constantly losing. They find better things to do on sunday than watch their team get blown out: Like Golf, or Fishing, or watching paint dry. --- Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool." <cite>Ashethan posted [p:889309257] in The NFL ra...

scarletspeed7 10/28/17 12:16:54 PM #34:	Kneeling has had no impact. Ratings tracking would actually indicate that said drama has given a small bolster in flagging ratings. The simple tracking suggests that Millenials and Gen Z are tapping out of football thanks to a host of other media at their fingertips and the lack of exciting plays in football right now. Twitter trends suggest football is trending downwards in terms of discussion, usually a sign that games are not creating memorable moments that spawn the water cooler talk of the next day. Meanwhile, a new form of event viewing is growing - binge-watching or non-appointment viewing. Simply put, Netflix is killing football. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:889310685] in The NFL ra... [t:75929180]...</cite> <quote>Kneeling has had no impact. Ratings tracking would actually indicate that said drama has given a small bolster in flagging ratings. The simple tracking suggests that Millenials and Gen Z are tapping out of football thanks to a host of other media at their fingertips and the lack of exciting plays in football right now.

Zachnorn 10/28/17 4:27:45 PM #49:	Whoever said about your team losing is right, at least that's one of the good reasons. LA had no team until last year so everyone thought that LA would love the Rams even if they were losing. When they started losing, fans stopped watching and paying $100 to go to a game. Why? Nobody likes to see their team lose frequently. People will watch other sports or shows or maybe do something else. That said, LA fans are very fickle in general and are also the type to call for firings if a team loses too much. --- Brought to you by GameFlux Free GameFAQs app on Google Play! <cite>Zachnorn posted [p:889322654] in The NFL ra...
