Nope, still haven’t watched a soccer game.

Ratings decline had nothing to do with the election… it’s simple oversaturation. There is an NFL game on constantly (Thurs, all day Sunday, Monday), and with NFL network, FS, CBS Sports, and ESPN, the coverage is overwhelming. By halftime Sunday night, its teetering on burnout. But if you play fantasy, you spend Tuesday doing waiver transactions, Wednesday setting lineups and investigating injuries, Friday following up on questionable injuries… by week 8 you just don’t care and end up watching EPL in the morning because the games are half as long and done by noon so you can do something with the day.
I still think NFL is great (NCAAF coverage is awful… every game is over 4 hours) and there is potential there, but they need some fresh leadership at the top.
