ESPN may drop NFL

[Whatever]

I see the NFL empire financial empire starting to crumble with viewership declining over 20% the past 2 years and no end in sight to repair their tarnished record of allowing players to disrespect the flag and the country. The reality is they lost fans and lots of them and likely will taker years to recover them if they ever recover them.

Making things worse is that the NFL has been losing revenue, and is set to lose a whole lot more, but stupidly increased the salary cap by huge chunks year after year.  Then, they put the cap floor in the current labor deal.  When the current labor deal is up, they are going to need to get rid of the floor and/or negotiate a reduction in the cap.  That's going to mean a prolonged lockout.
