But from the perspective of doing what's right, it's morally bankrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the NFL is reimbursing fans for travel plans, this is a load of crap There's the solution. If the NFL wants to make some extra $$$ by flexing games around, fine. But they should be prepared to reimburse fans who have to cancel travel plans. And not just the ticket price. Reimburse them for any cancellation fees, plus a small amount for the fans time to set all that up and then cancel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 3 hours ago, FrantikRam said: The advertising dollars far outweigh the money for tickets The NFL has broadcast partners and those partners derive their cash from ads, its all linked together. The billionaires sit around trying to figure out how to deploy the millionaires for maximum profit with no concern for the "little people" they step on. However...the advertisers actually depend on us consumers - and if the fans ever united, the NFL Fans Union ( NFLFU) - then we'd have a seat at the table instead of always being on the menu. We, the consumers, are the source of all NFL money and yet we have no say in anything. Pretty sure that was enough to start a revolution back in the 1770's. I seem to remember something about taxation without representation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is the area economies thrive on games in their immediate area too. Too many moving parts to change too close to the event. Why charge so much for games? It's a business, the point is to turn a profit. I'm very surprised by how NFL fans don't seem to get that, NBA fans are very well aware of the cold hard realities that pro sports is a business first, not a civic institution as they like to pretend.

I'm sure most fans get it, and at the same time feel like the big business could give 2 s***s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoric Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I’m pretty happy with where MNF is currently. Usually irrelevant which is nice because I don’t have ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a good game once one a while but in its entirely its largely been steaming monkey poo. MNF has also been trash since leaving ABC. Obviously my personal viewing habits haven’t influenced the NFL but I personally watch NFL action almost exclusively on Sundays. The product is just better.

Hukos Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If we could axe TNF/MNF and just have multiple SNF games in a weekend, I'd honestly prefer that - sort of like how week 1 works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I get it would sell the product more, and probably produce better prime time games... That being said it really is a middle finger to those attending the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
