Old article but worth mentioning if nothing else for the discussion
Woman climbs Mount Everest trying to prove vegans are not weak, found dead.
To be fair, it said that the woman and her Husband are experienced climbers, and that the conditions on Mount Everest been especially treacherous that year
Outside the whole “Take a knee” thing people been saying Football is slowly dying.
I was expecting the NFL Players Association would Rule Lawyer the League to death; the NFL increased the rules to avoid injuries to be so strict were end up with professional tag or flag football.
Because no one wants to pay or tune in to watch big ass grown men play flag football. Ratings for Football been dropping even before Colin Kaepernick even signed up for the NLF.
It’s not even competition, the NLF just don’t have the market they used to. They reach max saturation in the US, and are desperate to open up a market in Europe (with questionable results).
Worst part is the NLF don’t balance player safety with maintaining crowd satisfaction.
Without seeing some good tackles, there’s little point in watching Football.
the nfl needs to reduce the amount of commercials so you don’t spend something like 3 hrs watching a game. i love the sport but its got so much fluff surrounding the actual game that i decided its easiest to just watch the game clips after its over.
furthermore the nfl is greedy as shit. its so difficult to watch games online. not embracing the internet kills many older companies. all games should be available for streaming, but last time i looked they would only do one or two at most and you never got to watch the entire game.
All the commercials are also when the game actually stops on the field IRL. Every timeout, every time the refs need to discuss and debate, when everything stops for an injury, that’s when the TV station cuts to commercial.
An actual NLF Football game live at the stadium takes just as long as it does on TV.
You want national Corporate over the air TV to Reduce commercials? LOL.
That is how Broadcasters stay afloat, and with sports, the league is asking for big money for a network to carry their games.
Reducing the Commercials only going to give you more downtime on the game, and it not going to speed up the game in the stadium at all.
"would speed up the game in person as well"
The Real life game at the stadium sets up how often a commercial plays. Every Injury, every timeout, field change, half time, those are when commercials play.
And its’ like that for every Sport.
If Football too “slow” for you, never watch Baseball.
