Skins/49ers post game

Is it me or do the injuries seem to get worse each year? It's making the sport much less enjoyable IMO. I remember when you could expect to watch your favorite players play the entire season. Not anymore it seems.

The NFL is on a decline with the concussion issues,political protest,Former players saying they would not let there children play the game ..also factor in other factors like name changes (political) ..the fact that teams can relocate. it all starts to add up. I am a lifelong Redskin fan however Im not sure I am a NFL fan anymore..If not for the Redskins I would not follow this sport .

Let's hope we can squeeze out a SB title before it really goes to shit (maybe closer than we think with this high potential lockout / strike soon)

Idk, we bitch a lot about all the issues but when the game starts I forget all that shit. Die hards are still gonna watch. Maybe if your team is on a lifetime losing streak like the Browns you might reconsider, but anybody who loves the game is going to keep watching.

I agree with your points and would add that another reason that football is on a decline is that the product just isn't that good anymore. The constant injuries (mentioned above) stopping the game, the constant reviews that stop the game are two more more examples of why football just isn't that enjoyable to watch anymore. The NFL isn't going anywhere but the notion that everything stops when the NFL comes on TV doesn't ring true anymore.
