I dont think races give the NFL an advantage. It's probably the least diverse sport of the major 4 by a wide margin. Baseball, Hockey, and basketball have people all around the entire globe playing. NFL does not at all.

How could we forget there's also too many commercials? It affects the viewing experience with all the constant disruptions to the (already crappy) flow of the game.
Excellent post, DoubleJ's. The collusion thing is so true. Owners acting like petty schoolchildren on the playground and carrying over agendas into other areas of their league.
They need to be held more accountable for the mess we're all starting to see.
Another thing about the commericals...NFL has a whole Play 60 push, right? This is a campaign aimed at kids. However, outside of the actual game itself, it's near impossible for me and my daughter to even sit through a 1pm game due to the inappropriate commercials. I'm completely understanding of the commercials that air in primetime, but when I forget to change the channel and have to yell across the room to my daughter to either turn her head or cover her ears REALLY sucks.

What commercials are inappropriate? I don't feel like I've noticed that.

I was about to say, the NFL is basically black, white, and guys from various islands for the most part
the NFL is mostly just a US thing, especially compared to the NBA. That why the NFL just needs to get over the whole London thing. That brand will never ever translate internationally like basketball.

Not for adults...but with a young kid, I don't need her watching trailers for the FX series Taboo (looks dope, though), movie previews, or beer commercials that are going for cheap yuks...

Hockey is the least diverse. Everyone is white

Well damn, I never really thought of that.
I'm not a parent so my perspective is different than yours (obviously). That's interesting though, and I'll probably have it in the back of my mind when I'm watching this Sunday.

Might as well not let her watch TV then.

I don't have a problem with the perspective - but that's literally routine American commercial programing.

Idk man. The derby matches in each of the european soccer leagues are super crazy. I dont think any rivalry in american football can rival the derby matches they have over there.

There's plenty of programming out there that she can watch where I don't have to worry about the content of the commercials at break.
Football is a different beast...but they have to adhere to their sponsorships, so I get it. Doesn't make it any easier as a parent who has a daughter who enjoys watching the game. It is what it is tho.

@NorthOaklandFC The game is inherently violent, but don't you think under Goodell's reign with all the rule changes and related matters...they want it as close to the ultimate family-friendly experience as possible? Isn't that what they really want more than anything else?
As overbearing and manipulative as they are, I find it surprising they'd willingly let those other commercials slip through the cracks. We all know small toddlers aren't their main demographic, but any risque advertisement would run counter-intuitive to the overall goal though.

Yfootball is a violent sport. Man I wish my daughters would watch football with me.
Don't really bother me though but to each they own.
. My daughters enjoyed horror movies and slasher films since they were toddlers. I don't really trip on any commercials..

Playing on a bummy ankle too.
@spacedoodoo Your proclamation is looking more and more legit by the day. It's at least a debate at this point.
Pat yourself on the back g.

funny thing is Butler has been taking a lot of heat from the NE media about the drop off in play. i definitely got on him a bit as well earlier on. but the last two weeks have looked great. my dude can ball. and he's got the swagger/attitude you want in your #1 cover guy.
