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.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
