You know i would be surprised if the NFL was still around 10 years from now or so the way they have made it clear to the fans they do not care about them,that it is all about the money.Ratings have fallen at an all time low this year and they are trying to brush it off that it is because it is an election year.BS.what will they say next year when it gets even worse?
the NFL has become a joke first by letting the patriots get away with scandal after scandal and going unpunished for it year after year,THEN to their stupidity,they allow the Niners to move into santa clara where the new stadium is a complete dump,candlestick was much nicer and they have priced the fans out of the game not even allowing long time season ticket holders to renew their season tickets because they have catered to the rich and wealthy who are fair weather fans that dont support them when they lose as they did at candlestick.the NFL really botched that one major big time. NFL screwing the diehard loyal fans in SF.
So mainly because of those two reasons,NFL ratings are at an all time low which they were actually started on a decline even before all this by bringing in those stupid thursday night prime time games that nobody,the fans OR the players likes.
NOW by being stupid enough to allow the Chargers to leave SD for LA something i NEVER thought they would follow through on and allow even though they did give them that option,this goes down as the second most stupid and asinine thing the NFL ever allowed to happen next to letting the Rams leave LA in the first place.
the NFL is going to become an even bigger joke starting next year. san diego was a great market for the NFL when the Chargers were winning and Phillip Rivers was in his prime. even with the Chargers being a really bad team the last couple of years on the field they STILL got a couple of prime time thursday night games.Had they not been playing in a nice market and a beautiful city like san diego though,they never would have got more than one prime time thursday night game,the minimum required for all teams,they would have had just that minimum had it been another city such as cleveland or what have you.
If the NFL does not get their act together and make the chargers turn back,this will be the fall and decline of the NFL eventually. I am not so sure that even had the chargers STAYED,the NFL would not be here ten years from now cause letting the Niners move to santa clara and price out all the loyal fans that supported them when they were horrible for so long and packed them in at candlestick which WAS a much nicer stadium than crapfest Levi,that has already hurt the NFL.
they are going through the same thing the Rams did when they were in st louis,having half empty stadiums with the majority of fans being from the opposing team and anybody thinks that winning will change anything for them,you are clueless because the blue collar workers have priced out of going to these games and the rich who do go are far weather fans who dont stay for the whole game because they are only interested in doing business deals rather than watch the game so they leave at halftime and dont come back. while at a bar watching a Rams game this year.
I saw on the opposite wall a tv set showing a Niners home game and even the announcers remarked how they had many more fans from the opposing team at that game then there were Niners. At candlestick unless it was a year where the Niners were horrible and the Raiders while in Oakland were great, or same thing when the Rams were in LA of course,that NEVER happened in SF.
such a sad state the NFL has become putting new stadiums ahead of the fans and history and tradition.FUCK the NFL.
Last year was the first superbowl I missed and will never watch another one the NFL is such a joke.Because of that I have been buying old games from YESTERYEAR on the net and watch them thoughout the whole year and during football season as well.Reminds me of a time once when the NFL was not corrupt as it is now and more innocent times where the owners did not put stadiums first and foremost over the fans.
with the chargers being in LA now that is one more reason I dont see the raiders getting approved for vegas.the timing could not be worse for them to move now after this debacle but i dont put anything past the NFL and their stupidity.
