Poll: Has the NFL become to politically correct for your taste?
I keep reading about how the NFL is losing viewers/fans.I'm wondering if its because of all the rule changes that has seemed to make the game less interesting? Or is it because of all the political actions that you don't agree with and you just don't watch it anymore or fail to become interested.

Over-saturation.

There are one too many Primetime games on each week, which usually end up being blowouts. Madden has become so hyper realistic that people can get their fix without waiting for Sundays. Most people that play Fantasy Football don't even need to bother watching the games.

The irony of the situation is that the return to Los Angeles (and its 20 million viewers) was supposed to increase viewership, yet it's down 20%.

Over-saturation. Color Rush. Terrible officiating, especially PI calls. No one knows what's a catch and what isn't a catch. Domestic Violence. Stupid marijuana restrictions.

The NFL is eating itself.

No.

I appreciate that players can protest as long as it doesn't impact the game.

I don't agree, but I respect their right...

Thursday games need to go away. They're horrible and worthless. Not only do you end up ****ing over teams with short weeks but they're hardly ever an actual contest.

The NFL needs to:

1. Shorten the preseason to 2 weeks.
2. Bring back a developmental league.
3. Increase roster sizes beyond 53.
4. Eliminate Thursday games.
5. Extend the regular season by 1 week and give each team a 2nd bye week.

I watched the same amoutn of football as normal, so I can't explain it really. I'm just guessing. I do tend to think it's over-saturation, some terrible games (the Monday Night and Thursday night games especially are often just terrible), and color rush doesn't help.

I doubt it's "PC-ness". What is/isn't a catch has been an issue for like a decade so that's not new.

Could also be changing demographics. Are they losing younger viewers who tend to be much more focused on their iPads etc?

It would be interesting to see how many commercial interruptions occur in an NFL game now compared to 10-15 years ago. Whether that's due to quicker scoring offenses, replay, rule changes resulting in more stoppages, etc. There seems to be little flow to most of the NFL games I watch anymore. Also, it seems like flipping between games now is pointless because every time I flip, they're always at a commercial break. Maybe that's just my perception though as I don't watch as many games as I used to.

Whoever said over saturation is totally correct. I never thought I would say there is too much NFL. But there is.

Kap is a 2nd string QB.

Why wouldn't he sit down?...

Oh, I should mention one more thing -- a couple of guys on a local talk show think replay review is ruining the game. The lack of ability to cheer for a great play -- was there a flag? Let's wait for there replay review that it was a catch or TD. Ok, NOW cheer, is making the game less enjoyable in their view.

As one guy said (more or less): "I'm willing to suffer a few blown calls to increase my enjoyment of the game, because right now, it's really hard to get truly excited when a great play ahppens because I need to wait for a flag, and then wait for the replay review to confirm"

I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm a strong proponent of replay review, so maybe I'm biased. I'm willing to wait a bit to "get it right", but maybe they have a point?

They did this back in 93 or 94.

They could keep their Thursday game if they added the extra bye week before a Thursday appearance. It would be easy to do, and the NFL would make even more money with the extra week of TV revenue.

I can't believe they have not done it already.

The reason ratings are down is in small part Trump, and in huge part that the officiating SUCKS which causes an uneven flow to the game.

Missing Brady, Manning, and Romo doesn't help, either.

I don't think officiating is an ounce worse now than it ever was before. Now, however, with 24 hour sports channels and the internet, everyone can obsess over every call to the nth degree for days and days.

It's like pedophilia -- it's not that anything has changed so it IS worse now, it's that PERCEPTION has changed so it SEEMS worse now.
