You couple that with the outrageous prices of parking, tickets and concessions....and all the VIP boxes sold to corporations + seat licenses fees. It's not worth $500-$1000 for two people to go.
Then you have horrible officiating and the specter of Vegas influencing games. The head of officiating partying on Jerry Jones's "fun bus". People are tuning out....and they should.
No one bought the "Manning riding off into the sunset" script while being the worst QB in the NFL. They over-played their hand...thinking fans were too stupid to notice. They are trying again with the Raiders hype and their stadium tax fleecing.
They have turned into a "maximize profits by extortion/manipulation" mega-corporation....masked as a sport. Its the snake eating it's own tail....

So, the Raiders getting 23 (accepted) penalties is somehow beneficial to the Raiders?
