And then they make very poor use of it. Many game deciding plays are not reviewable according to rules.

It's actually not horrible... the bad calls just get noticed 100 times as much.

Sometimes I am amazed at how much they catch with all of the activity - especially in the line play.

The NFL is as popular as ever and will continue to be. Those who watch just for the commercials and half time show are not true football fans.

The bankrupt and br-woke generation.

Belling always rips on the replays in the NFL. Personally I don't see a problem and think they should allow 5 challenges per game assuming a team doesn't hit 2 unsuccessful challenges.

As far as commercials, don't watch them. As far as the length of the games, skip the first quarter like I do.

In any case kids get into sports often from their fathers. Less fathers means less sports fans.

We used to tolerate the half times shows. Now we do our best to ignore them.

If for some reason it became socially acceptable to club seals, you bet companies would run ads that pander to seal clubbing.

You win one Internet.

I remember when halftime shows were performed by marching bands.

NFL Losing Younger Audiences


They aren't interested in sitting through lecture after lecture, slogan after slogan about how raaaacist the country is when it actually isn't... any more than older people are.

And at least the older folks have a long record with the NFL concentrating on football without politics, which enables them to stick by their teams in hopes the former glory will be restored. Young people simply see the NFL as yet another vehicle for the far left to impose its political propaganda on its audiences. No wonder the young people are turning it off.
