There's a big headline on my news feed today about how the NFL boycott for Veterans' Day was a bust. Attendance was up almost 1% over the season average. But that misses the point. The season average is already down due to fan discontent. Further, we don't know how many fans were really there. People with tickets who didn't show still get counted in the attendance figures. More important, it's not the fans in the stands that matter, but the ones who watch the games on TV. That's where the money comes from that supports the league. That's also where the biggest drop off in support has taken place.
We will have to wait to see if the ratings stay down as they have been all season.
