NBA will never take over for a number of reasons (until the demographics change), most of which don't have to do with the on court product ...Soccer will come up the same time basketball does
NFL got a stranglehold and in some parts of the country college football as well

NFL is still the king for me. I would rather watch a Browns Titans game than the top two college teams.

Soccer is not even close to the NBA
They had a strong push a few years ago when ESPN was tryna push it on us but it ain't take hold.

Show on Netflix that has some crazy *** stories. Similar to Twilight Zone, where each episode is a different story told. The first episode is crazy and apparently they all leave the mind blown

Couldn't really tell you because I didn't watch a single snap of that game.

I don't watch as many non-local games as I used to. My interest in the league is still high, but I just don't give them as much time as I used to.
You would have to pay me to watch this week's TNF game. I'm being dead *** serious.

Until my interest in Fantasy and DFS is gone, NFL is something I enjoy at all aspects. Clearly in the minority here.

feel you on that.
if the steelers aren't playing on sunday or during the week at all.. I'll tune in with the roommates to watch the panthers get washed.
other than that, I'll rarely watch other teams.

The 21 year olds that were 16 just 5 years ago, and the 11-16 year olds that will be 16-21 five years from now, have a different kind of attention span than what it takes to care about an NFL game. It's like asking the average person to watch a full MLB game.
NFL has been losing the young faster and faster. When those kids are the demographic in more general sense than what you speak, a 3 hour NFL game that shows 45 minutes of real action mixed in with commercials, timeouts, replays, audibles etc....it's only a matter of time before the game is way too slow for a fan base under 40years of age

And you think a 2 1/2 hour NBA game with constant whistles and constant pull up jumpers are more exciting? I used to LOVE NBA, and still enjoy watching a lot of games, but that league overall is washed to me.
NBA playoffs however are very compelling and exiting to me.
College basketball still the king

I'm almost at the point where I only watch the Falcons. I can't even stay awake watching "good" matchups of other teams anymore.

NBA is non-stop action.
Scores every few seconds.
It's a different stimulant.
Not saying it will be at peak NFL viewership, no tv will.
But NBA viewership > NFL viewership , I don't think we're too far off from seeing that.
And today's climate, once the 'mob' starts feeling one way and whispering, groupthink kicks in and everyone is saying "NFL woat" " NFL boring" etc. The NFL has an expiration date IMO.
I'll still be watching Cowboys games today, tomorrow and however long they're here, but I grew with it, and I've outgrown most teams outside of them, **** is mad boring and unbearable to watch most nights.

Even with the slight dip in ratings NFL is doing well. I don't see it going anywhere.
Besides I like parity in my sports *shrugs*

You get to see ALL the available consumer products during an NFL game though, so if you love blowing $ on stuff, games can be exciting to watch.
