Imagine if they had to build their own stadium!

I offered Kraft $100 for the Patriots. He said he will think about. I'm crossing my finger that he says yes.

imagine how much a college team makes without having to pay players

The ratings being down is way overblown. Compared to everything else on TV, NFL is fairly stable. It’s not as volatile as scripted and reality original shows both broadcast and cable airs. Sports is still the most watched thing on TV and NFL is undisputed king in the US.

Budweiser, $10 Drafts... that’s how

"Why do athletes get paid so much?" This vid breaks down the billions of dollars sports generate. I want to show this video to anyone that thinks athletes make too much money.

It’s the tv contracts that keep the NFL going. Take away the tv contracts and the NFL looses their main cash cow.

Private group that keeps their profits private yet expect public to pay for the stadium.

The NFL needs to do more deals like the Amazon one to allow people to legally stream the games. They would make a lot more money rather than forcing people to tune in right when people are ditching their cable subscriptions

CNBC/NPC guy doesn't know the difference between revenue and profit.

The NFL and NBA are wayy to commercialised. Fact.

You also have to consider the rising popularity internationally, espacially in europe. The London games are sold out in minutes and here in Germany the popularity has exploded in the past 4 years since the show games on public television now. The demand is so high that they even start showing college starting this year. NFL has no problems what so ever

Are you not entertained!!

Any reason why the NFL has become so much more popular? According to the Patriots owner, 10 yrs ago football was a minority in the top 100 shows of the month but now? The NFL by far is the most popular thing to watch on tv.

Good video. I like the way you broke everything down/crunched the numbers for us/anyone to understand. 👍 I was just gonna say that the "TV Deals" the NFL has is incredible, it's a "Cash 🐄", NFL's making a killing from them Nationally Televised Games.
