I cant wait for the first report of lost revenue from ads and low fanbase, leading to salaries decreasing. Thats when theyll know they fucked up. Itll be glorious.
From what I know about advertising contracts, which is certainly more than most, there is a clause that mandates certain minimum viewership numbers. Drop below those figures and the advertisers are owed additional slots to make up for the shortfall.
This means that the broadcasters can't sell those slots... so even a slightly worse than expected viewership can have serious and spiraling effects on revenue down the line.
If the viewer numbers continue to trend downward, it is going to be ugly. The contracts are renegotiated in 2022, and every bar and pede that tunes out is revenue that is gone. There is nowhere to make up that viewer base.
I believe I remember that the NFLPA union negotiated some bullshit that even if nobody attends, watches, etc that the salary cap won't reduce at least heading into 2021 and maybe even 2022.
That's part of the reason, I think their response has been so brazen.

IIRC they are due to renegotiate TV contracts in 2022. Cannot wait for their destruction.

Easy fix, just add more commercials. Football doesn't have enough of those...
Woke Ball is finished.
