Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voyageur" data-source="post: 974290" data-attributes="member: 17953">It is cheaper to attend a baseball game than a football game. But, they have 10 times as many opportunities of relieving you of your hard earned cash.As far as being part of the problem with football, he's right. If people rebel, and stop going to games, and buying team products, those revenue streams disappear. If you add in boycotts of products that are over priced because of the advertising costs associated with games, that money would disappear for networks, and they in turn would pay less to the NFL, to broadcast games. If people quit subscribing to additional services like NFL Network, and now Amazon Prime, not for Thursday Night Games, and Sunday Ticket, that would dry up more revenue sources.Obviously the money given to the NFL from all these sources would dwindle, and based on salary caps being adjusted by a percentage of a majority of league wide receipts, the wages would go down, along with the profits of the NFL teams.Will it happen? Only if there's a full blown recession that hurts, and even then it might be difficult. Back in the days of the Depression, here in the US, baseball attendance increased, even though most people couldn't really afford to spend a nickel to get into a game. It didn't hurt most NFL teams either, when it came to attendance. The reality is, people want their diversions, and sports is the favorite of most men.</blockquote>
