Agreed. NFL fans are passionate (if you're willing to pay thousands to attend 8 football games, you must be). When times get economically tough for them, season ticket holders are likely to pull back on other expenditures before giving up their season tickets. And for many teams like the Redskins, even if ticketholders give up their seats there will be plenty of people willing to take their place.
The NFL has little competition, few threats from competitors. I look at their revenue growth prospects being as safe as big oil's.
