Goodell is the worst.
Needs to run a Lynch-cast during the Super Bowl. Fuck Tirico and Collingsworth.
We have a family friend who works for the Falcons so I asked him about the NFL. I didn't write his comments down so excuse any memory errors.
The average age of a team owner is like 72 years old. They are obviously all billionaires with multiple businesses. These teams are layered with much younger leadership that is convinced that capturing the younger viewer is critical to their future success and that the older crowd is money past spent so they are not the focus. They changed how they marketed the sport 8 years ago and it has paid huge dividends. I think viewership this year during the regular season was a record high or close to it although the playoff viewership is down from previous years.
The league office is in charge of marketing, the Superbowl, halftime show, etc. and it is wall to wall liberal youth with zero perspective or concern for any feelings other than the woke crowd. They are the ones pushing messaging to the players and on NFL gear. The franchises have no real say in what is marketed hence the endzone and uniform messaging. They even get a guaranteed amount of time on electronic billboards inside and outside the stadium. he said some owners were not too thrilled with the halftime liberal gay fest we are about to see in the Superbowl but they literally have little to zero say and you can't argue with the success they have seen over the past 8 years..
One last note, I was surprised to learn how little the head office pays attention to the franchisee. You would think that will all those billionaires and their egos this would not be the case. Money is everything and if you are a billionaire and your investment is growing by billions, what if anything would be a problem with the way things are run?

Whitlock is often too far out there for the Throbber but he’s right here. This Bad Bunny bullshit is a leftist statement.
TV is getting turned off at halftime. Throbber is old enough to remember when the halftime show was often more anticipated than the game.
Just make Bruno Mars the resident half timer and plug in guests for a couple tunes. Keep the identity secret if possible. Thats how you attract viewers/advertisers.
I would not watch this game except its the Seahawks playing in it.
That makes sense, but the NFL has to be losing with people over 40, at least males. Although my mom's head caregiver coordinator woman is about 50 and seems super excited (way more than I am) about it.
In 10 or 15 it'll go the way of the NBA. The NBA draws under a million for national games.
I think a large part of the increase in attention to the NFL is the ease of use of safe betting sites like Fan Duel and Draft Kings plus the huge interest in fantasy football. The NFL has also done a pretty good job of cleaning up the league or at least the perception of the league with less prevalent drug use and beating up and raping women. But I agree with Bend that a bunch of their marketing department would have Dylan Mulvaney blowing Bad Bunny at half time if they could. Hiring people who hate your product is a loser.
The Opening ceremony of the French Olympics had a bunch of trannies reenacting the Last Supper. The NFL leared that football fans will look past the politics to enjoy the game. Just like the Olympics, the NFL has to expand its audience by pulling in women, gay men, and now the "disenfranchised" (whatever that means). I haven't been into the Superbowl since it became so self-enamored, for me football season ends at the conference championships.
The only Super Bowls I haven't watched were the two Chiefs / Eagles matchups because I despise Philadelphia and the people there, and the Chiefs got old a long time ago.
Definitely will not be watching the illegal alien halftime show.

I don’t know any music by Bad Bunny, nor does almost anyone on my demographic.
I’m sure all of his fans will be glued to the sportsball game though. Great fit for the audience. Why not Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters? Or anyone with a catalog that spans decades instead of some flavor of the month shock artist. Will Lil Nas X make a surprise appearance that I also won’t care about?
Where is Jay Z, btw, since he’s contracted to help produce the show.
Deleted his social media conversations over the weekend now that he allegedly is a part of the pedophile files?

Will anyone have the courage to criticize Trump?
They have politicized the NFL for 5 years in a row. The rats in charge are using their audience to push the woke message. Billions will watch this. The woke elitists will celebrate the messaging and continue with the bullshit for decades to come.
Conservatives don't have a voice in the msm or entertainment and that is an Achilles heel that needs to be repaired.
