The NFL's ratings actually went up

WOW.  

You do know that television deals are driven by ratings right?

im assuming you are aware with the huge increase of competition from streaming platforms and the overall popularity of the leagues (driving ad revenue) that TV deals can continue to go up even if ratings stagnate or go down some. Covid will have a larger impact than any ratings stagnation or small depression.

It's like he doesn't know the NFL tv deals are up and the NFL wants to increase the $, but with ratings going down already, now add this. I guess being in the UK really confuses him on how ratings are need to fund the league when a lot of tv is funded by the govt over there.

I think you guys need to brush up on how modern tv deals operate and function for sports. It's not too late for older people to learn new information
