theres no screw up. The league does exactly what it wants to. Your judgement of it is irrelevant to them.
Yes, there is a screw up, and **** like this is greatly costing the league right now in ratings. This is one of many, many situations which Goodell has handled poorly, and they are starting to see it backfire.
Goodell only does what the owners tell him to and the league isnt losing out to baseball or basketball anytime soon.
ratings are down for economical reasons if at all. No one gives a damn about the kicker because no one gives a damn about the countless other things the players are caught for time and again over the years.
ratings are down because people cant work and cant pay for the nfl channel etc
Ratings are down because there is so much on the line in this upcoming presidential election. I'm also hearing in my neck of the woods that fans are up to their ears with officiating, what is a catch and what isn't, trying to interpit what is a late hit and what isn't, as some teams benefit from the rule and others don't when their QB gets killed. And to back up some of the points mentioned above, why players are getting fined for different shoes, majiuana use, T.D. celebrations, etc., while turning a blind eye domestic abuse, wife and children beating and the star spangled banner.
