The NFL's trajectory has to be terrifying for many owners who are starting to see the writing on the wall. Many organizations thought the covid era would net much larger TV audiences and it's not happening.... Jerry Jones will probably be the first owner to sue the NFL home office for killing the league. The real entertainment will be the panicked NFL in a mad scramble on the back end to try to bring fans and viewers back.

100% agree. I expect the players and owners to really start going at one another when owners start adjusting salaries down or bouncing checks because organizational finances have taken such a big hit. I feel the NFL's sense of entitlement will see them first asking for a Fed bail out(like auto makers did) on the grounds that they're an American institution....which also makes 4 more yrs of MAGA the NFL's worst nightmare because DT isn't going to give them sht.

There will be talks of bankruptcy and then the media will start attacking QBs who refuse to give up their massive salaries to keep the sport going. I expect ESPN to run stories advocating for all white players to take a 50% pay cut. I can't wait!

lol yep. american institution my ass. but classic lib mentality. shit on a place/person/country that gives you everything but then when you're in a bind, turn right around and ask that same entity for help.
