He's not wrong. But "what they're thinking about" is very obvious. Viewer ratings.

Clearly.

Either they're so out of touch with everyday fans and their concerns that they don't understand the consequences of things like this or they just don't give a sh-t.

(probably the latter)

Used to be like this, no more.

Can't afford the time drain, that said, this is going to lessen the product, and cause more injuries....again, it would be a hard NO from me.

If you're somebody who just watches at home, this doesn't hurt you.

The fans who actually go to the games? Yeah, they get hurt.

This is something that should be obvious to anybody with a brain.

And yet most NFL owners either seem to not know about it or not care enough about it to weigh it into their consideration.

Kudos to Mara at least for thinking of the fans. 

The brains focusing on this are not concerned about 70 thousand people in the stands. They are concentrating on how to get more than 7 million (my guess probably wrong) TV's to watch it.  I think the Thursday product is bad and they will do/try anything they can to improve it.

Luckily Florio is rarely right. He’s just another bs hot take artist like Cowherd. 

[Tbe]

Not for it or against it, but I get the calculus. Piss off the minority of fans that go to games (who can just sell their tickets) and get millions of more viewers for these streamed games OR lose out on millions of more tv viewers to please 40,000 in-person viewers?

The bigger issue for me is fair competition when some team gets more Thur nights games than others.

If we vote for it we better get something very good. Its awful.

I Googles it- flexing only pertains to week 14-17. Just don't schedule those games until week 12.

Exactly. There are millions of fans that watch the game. The handful of fans who are flying in for games that are inconvenienced pales in comparison to having good games that most fans will tune in for over Arizona versus Oakland when both teams are already eliminated.

Most people that attend games aren’t flying for games anyway. I’m kind of surprised by most of the responses in here that wouldn’t rather have a solid game on Thursday night.
