Brady vs the NFL: The Case that Might Knock the Football from Being the Number One Sport?

Many of us believe football will be the number one sport in America for a long time, if not for the rest of America's existence.  Yet there is probably nothing that can knock a number one sport from their top seat more, than a cheating scandal.  Especially if the accused cheaters are one of the most successful teams in the league if not most successful.

 

 

All sports media and regular news media have picked up this story, and I'm wondering will fans get tired of hearing about it.  People hate Roger Goodell, and if he were to lose this fight, any respect he still has will probably go flying out the window.  Of course I bring this topic up due to hearing some fans say they might stop watching the NFL due to what is going on right now.  Normally I don't pay that kind of talk much attention, because that is all it usually is.  Even if they are sincere, and some are, they are among the very few.  However, a whole lot of drama and scandal has transpired over the course of a year's time.  Stuff like that could have an effect when it's piled on top of each other.  If I were the NBA, MLB, or even the MLS, I have to see this as my opportunity to win people over to my sport.

The domestic violence I can at least see a potential for causing an issue but still not really. A few pounds of pressure in the ball will have zero effect come opening day considering the things baseball players have done over the years.

One day the Cunulativr effect if over hyping everything about the NFL will have an effect but I don't see it happening soon.

The league is definitely going to suffer the effect of a bubble burst at some point but at the moment these drama issues are just driving it to inflate more.

I think if it passes really quick, then yeah.  Yet I would find it interesting if it goes to court and is drawn out.  Trump is saying Brady should sue them for 250 million heehee.  I would like to see if other sport leagues can take advantage of all the turmoil currently surrounding the NFL.

I actually don't care about all the scandals, we see NFL players being murders all the time but we still watch it, we see NFL players got arrested but we can't stop watching. Those things don't change this sport.

I care more about changing rules of football to make it a "soft" sport actually.

I really don't pay much attention to games where the Panthers aren't playing unless it's the playoffs. If something were to happen to the Panthers,(say a move to another city,) the game of professional football would be dead to me until the playoffs come around.

I used to like baseball, but the steroid era ruined that for me and I don't even really watch any games, including the playoffs, same with the NBA. I could really care less.

College athletics are quickly becoming more prominent then their professional counterparts.

That's something that might get on my nerves as well, when they alter rules.  Yet I believe if the scandal is big enough, people might begin to say the NFL is rigged in some ways.  I think what really makes the NFL unique is that there is parity.  Every team has a chance to actually win a championship, or at least that is the feeling.  In the NBA, only certain teams have a chance at winning, and the MLB have too many games and they are boring to watch at times.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
