Which is why it makes even less sense... why are they doing it now? They have no idea why they are putting on this show? Haha.
I don't think NFL ratings are going down because of this... they were going down before this even happened, of course, this is probably not going to help and will probably continue to hurt. As far as me, basically turned off cable TV over a year ago... generally don't miss it.... no way I am paying for this crap directly.... ESPN can implode for all I am concern and the same could be said of the NFL. ESPN is really on the hook, and there is no easy road for them.... the NFL probably won't be hurt for some time.
I'm not sure why the American Taxpayer is supplementing the millionaire and billionaire owners/players to start with... hopefully more discussion on that will be coming down the pike. Wait till the players are getting 1/10th of their salary if the taxpayer was not supplementing their freaking life style.
