It’s doing just fine. What makes you think it’s not doing well? Or are you just grumpy that it looks different than it did 20 years ago?

The league was having unprecedented growth from 2000-2012, games in Mexico, talk about a European league... then that stuff started to stop. Quietly.

Sure it's still the biggest sport in the US - but it's never going to overtake soccer like the NFL honestly believed back then.

It doesn't just look different - it flat out sucks. I haven't watched a full game in years. If I want to see what happens I'll watch the 10 minute recap video (which shows pretty much every play since the actual action is maybe 15 minutes)

But you claimed it’s not doing well which isn’t true lol

It’s a league 100% geared towards the offense which definitely sucks if you love defense. However, not sure how you can watch Mahomes or Rodgers play and think it sucks. There is so much offensive talent in the league that it’s a little overwhelming. The league is set up great for future success with their stars. Mahomes, Burrow, Kyler, Herbert.... then in comes Lawerence Fields and Wilson. Throw in Russell Wilson too. Along with a plethora of skilled backs and WRs and you have yourself a winning product.

Again, it’s not for everyone but to say “it’s not doing well” is not true. You just don’t like the way the game is played today and that’s fine.
