I know way too many people who can name every starting player on every team. They know so much!!! So impressive!!
They also know that the Orange Man is bad, and that Biden is a proven leader with an impressive track record. They know Kamala Harris is a tough as nails prosecutor and beloved senator. They have never heard of Michael Flynn. Thank God for this site.
I had a boss who was a huge hockey fan. He was telling me how well my team was doing, asking me if I was excited.
I replied, "Nice try, they're on strike"
He laughed and said,"No! That was last year - your team is in the finals!" They went on to win the championship.
Even though I drove by the arena where they played several times each week, I honestly thought they were on strike through the entire regular season.
So you figure if there are 32 teams that play each other therefore on average 16 games per week and 16 games per team that's 256 regular season games and then 11 playoff games (4,4,2,1) therefore 267 games. I won't bother with preseason nonsense. Therefore, 267 games x 11 minutes = 2,937 minutes of action per season. As such the NFL makes $5.45M per minute of game action in games that actually mean something.
Obviously the NFL has things like the draft, pro-bowl, plus merchandising and a whole other slew of things that make money, but yeah.
I saw that stat about actual whistle to whistle play time a while back and had to look it up. It is true. Only around 11 mins of playtime for a 3 hour game. That blew my mind!
Years ago on early iTunes I bought a season pass of the team I liked, and it consisted of brief videos showing literally that. Just "Play play play switch sides play play play play switch sides play play the game's over somebody won." Then post-game interviews longer than the game itself.
IIRC this was before the NFL had their own streaming service so they probably don't make that available anymore.
I've always found football, along with all professional sports, to be exceptionally boring to watch. It's watching other people play a game. Why would I care about people I don't know, who I've never met, play a game I don't care about? Why should or would I pay to watch this?
I have never gotten a satisfactory answer, as there is none.
I've always said, "fuck em, they already got their money and job. Why put my own money and happiness off to watch theirs?"
Which football games are you watching that last two hours?

I used to be one of those guys. Loser behavior, in hindsight.

It was the XFL and they bankrupted them first season via ChinaFlu :/
How in the world are ratings only down by 20%, should be at least 50%!! Stop paying these jerks, don’t watch this garbage.
Sport bars are happy that sports are actually being played again. Too bad Democrat mayors and governors still won't allow them to have costumers.
As for me. Trump rallies and upcoming debates are my new contact sport!
Damn you need to find something else - there will be no debates. I suggest clips of cops throwing around mostly peaceful protesters.
Stop supporting people that hate you. We have a civilisation to build after all.
How does that break down? $16B per game means the NFL makes exactly how much money per hour of active gameplay (11 minutes per game)?
Someone math for me.
$16B for the entire year.

Can someone figure out a way to edit out all the useless footage and then upload the actual gameplay footage to, ahem, "certain" websites (yarrrr)?
That might be the best of both worlds. Get some sports action and cut out the BLM bullshit and sponsors of terrorism.

Surprised there isn't an AI to do that yet.

And schools? And box stores, and local officials.
