The NFL is becoming more disturbing than appealing, and TV viewers are tuning out

[Rain Man]

For me, the dropoff happened once they started running the league like a business instead of like a sports league. It became apparent that they care more about revenues than about producing an entertaining product that's competitive. The Peyton Manning farewell tour, the stupid Super Bowl contest that clearly was just a marketing ploy, and all of the other stuff like that greatly damaged the credibility of the league. I used to watch football whenever it was on, and I would make a special effort to ALWAYS watch the Chiefs. Now I'll watch the Chiefs only for the most part, but if I'm traveling or something I won't change my plans to be available for the game. It makes me kind of sad since the NFL was part of my life for so long, but it's just not the same now that it's just a big corporation.
