What?  I can't do that to Tom Brady?  Nuts to this sport, let's all go watch something else! Ninja
Very poor analogy IMO.

NFL didn't even merge until the 69's. Back then Football wasn't even very popular. Back then ticket sales accounted for almost 60 percent of football's total revenue; today broadcast contracts account for about half of the revenue.

Also, the OP was about being "most popular" NOT people just stop watching.
