This. If it was "76% of Americans who identify themselves as sports fans," it'd be a different story.
As popular as the NFL is, there's still an asston of people who watch 1 football game per year so they can see the new commercials and halftime show, and that's usually the only sporting event they'll go out of their way to watch all year.
And I'm part of the 24%. I'm not dying every day because they're not playing, but I do miss it. I'll miss it a helluva lot more after the Super Bowl, though. Then even more after the NCAA Tournament's over, if the lockout lasts that long.
