[QUOTE="emapples, post: 3034725, member: 11752"] It's not just NFL seeing a decline in attendance, NASCAR is also seeking major decline in attendance. I am wondering if it's a political issue or just simply a generational one. People in my age group 44 used to place a high value on live sporting events. Now I'd rather spend money on a new gun or a fishing reel rather then spend 500 to 600 bucks on a game or race. I am just spitballing here ....I have no evidence for this theory other then personal empirical data. I am thinking people in my age group were the ones who really spent the money for these events, and I wonder if the declines are a result of changing interests of the generation that once valued these events. The newer younger snowflake generation doesn't go to sporting events , team owners might want to invest in beard wax, man bun rubber bands, and Starbucks ......but that's just a guess ...... Jim Brown explained the taking a knee during the anthem issue perfectly...... and if NFL players cant respect a legend then they deserve what's coming to them. He basically said you have to choose either be a football player or an activist but you can't be both. I haven't cared about ESPN for 10 years, and I haven't watched an NFL game in 5 years, I watched Denver in there last Super Bowl win and that was just to see Peyton win his last game and Super Bowl. Other then that I don't watch the NFL and it's not likely that I will again. I have been to 3 or 4 NASCAR events and I was never really a fan but the infield was a hell of a party. But I will likely never go to another one ..... so again the declines could be because of a boycott or they could just be a victim of changing interests of the baby boomers and gen x'ers who were fueling the majority of the economy.
