    Lol couldn't be more further from the truth with that statement! The rest of the world really doesn't give a damn about nfl football, revenue from tv numbers is what makes this league go and this season they are down 20-30% across the board so far with their stupidity to play to the marxist communist crowd. It's why last night you didn't hear much about BLM, you wont moving forward either or they will continue to see a decline in numbers and yes it is going to have a major impact moving forward. This is also during a time with supposedly people wanting football after this stupid virus, over 1.2 million fans that can't go to the games live every weekend and them now counting out of market numbers towards the ratings such as tv's at restaurants or bars or whatever business might be showing the game, and their ratings are still down over 30% in some instances compared to last years numbers!

    The NFL will never survive with viewers and fans from Canada, South America or Europe only, this is not euro football with many countries into the sport!

    Please elaborate? I mean yes there is a global fan base but I don't believe it would work without domestic fans.

    Do you think China is making up for the NFL's dwindling advertising and ticket profits?

    The question itself is reason enough to boycott pro football. I'm sure the players would sell this country down the toilet for the money.

    Well the NBA sure has, they won't dare allow anyone to offend the CCP.

Maybe too much inconsistency in calling contact fouls in the passing game? Too much action between the 20's and not enough in the red zone? The overly conservative play calling? The huge skirts on the Quarter backs? It was all on display in that game and in others. The entertainment level ain't what it used to be even though more games come down to the wire or close.
    But man do we have statistics! I heard last night that some QB, maybe Jones, had the most passes where the receiver was within a yard of a defender. Really? WTF?
    It is getting bad when they get annoyed and have to break into their prepared stats to say "Oh yeah, touchdown" now from inside the 30 to 32 yard line on Monday Night Football...
