PhD Football's Downfall of the NFL: How Politics, Rule Changes, and Activism are Destroying Pro Football
Summary
Fact: During the 2017 football season, 1 million fewer fans per game watched the NFL on television compared to the year before. Stadiums around the league were partially empty, ticket sales declined, popularity waned, corporate sponsors pulled their ads, and countless lifelong NFL fans were driven away from the game and alienated from the league they once loved. Is this the end of the NFL as we know it? Can the NFL win back its fans? Will the NFL survive? Is this the downfall of the NFL?
Head football coach and award-winning author Mike Lowry takes a hard-hitting approach to the issues on and off the field impacting the NFL, consequently causing the league to lose millions of fans and viewers. Mr. Lowry leverages a lifetime of football experience when presenting a no-nonsense examination of the NFL, its commissioner, its players, its owners, and how social issues, player protests, transformative rule changes, and unprecedented political activism are in the process of permanently destroying professional football while driving away millions of loyal and diehard fans.
Not only does Mr. Lowry document a host of extreme problems currently plaguing the league but in addition, he outlines an array of remedial measures to restore the game to its pure essence while preserving football's remarkable American tradition.
Regardless of your personal stance concerning the NFL, its players, its owners, and its commissioner, no contemporary discussion of football is complete without consideration of the unique perspective and insight presented in PhD Football's Downfall of the NFL. Through a meticulous blitz of football information, Mr. Lowry’s 6th volume in the PhD Football series is a must-read for any football fan and documents for you what no one else will tell you about the NFL and its potential demise.
