From a pure economics standpoint, there is such a thing as absolute market saturation.

At some point, the NFL is simply going to have maxed out it's viewership, consumer loyalty and ultimately its revenue.

It likely won't be some sort of major event (like real estate), but rather a simple peak followed by a small decline, and then it will normalize.

Football isn't going to go away, but the absolute non-stop gravy train is eventually going to end.


It's all relative.  Is anything going to replace it?  Not in the short term, that's for sure.

I didn't say anything would replace it.

I said there is an absolute saturation point, and there will be a decline/market correction. That's just econ. Doesn't matter what the product is.
