I always watch the Chiefs. I'm luck here in Omaha, they run all the games. But, if I lived elsewhere...I kinda doubt I'd buy Sunday ticket. I'd probably be more productive on game day...

But alas, your point is accurate, for those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s, where the game is headed might be for a different group of fans. Even if some of the changes aren't 100% bad (concussion avoidance [if not too stupid]), many of them are totally dumb like the "we're only about scoring these days" rules. If this new way is all you know I guess it's fine, but like I said, if you grew up in the 70s/80s, you know the game has changed. |

I can't speak as definitively as Cuban for the future of the NFL and its fanbase, but speaking for myself, I'm not the fan I used to be of the NFL. I'm still a Chiefs fan, of course. But the NFL has kinda' turned me off in the last several years (for many of the aforementioned reasons).
The NFL is like a drama-queen that keeps doing the dumbest things to get noticed, even though she's already the prettiest girl in the room. I've mostly been a football guy for most of my adult life (since the 90's). I find myself more and more excited about the much-longer baseball season every year - even when the Royals have been terrible. I've just learned to love the nuances of the game and enjoy the grind of the season. I'll still watch the Chiefs, but I sympathize with some of what Cuban is saying.

Mark Cuban was scoffed and sneered at for warning the NFL about the perils of arrogance. His words now look prophetic as the mighty league has been made vulnerable by player misdeeds and the failures of leadership |

Shockingly, Cuban thought it was a really bad idea for the NFL to expand to another night--which I'm sure had nothing to do with it being an extra night it would compete with (and dominate) NBA broadcasts. |

I laugh at the idea that some of you think the league won't survive. Come Sunday every stadium will be full of rocking fans throughout the U.S. Boone Pickens from Oklahoma State was talking about how the NFL & Major College football are not near where they will be in 15 years as far as making money!

Troy Aikman like 5 or 6 years ago said we wouldn't recognize the NFL in 10 years. I've looked back at that statement a lot recently.

Worst case: The NFL's popularity absolutely plummets to NBA levels.
