More NFL sponsors are dropping which means revenues go down, which means a stagnant salary cap for next year. And we're currently projected to be about even (with our current carry over) with the salary cap if it doesn't change.

Granted many of the sponsors are well within their rights to drop the NFL given the present situation and the media is on a witch hunt as well, dragging up police records in some cases of players as far as 2009 I've seen so far. I even heard Florio this morning on Joe Rose lamenting the fact that some of the negative attention is dying down and asked if Joe could start some controversy in Miami so he can get more hits on his site...Florio is such a hypocrite...but then people keep going to his site and lining his pockets with money.

Regardless we may be in a bad cap situation because of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.
 
3 months from now this wont even matter when the ratings are still through the roof and those sponsors either come back or new ones take their place. There are 4 things that are recession proof; booze, sex, drugs, and the NFL.
 
This is going to go away and other will take their place...this hole thing will cost the league very little...

Sponsors may come back but how much bargaining power will the NFL have to make them pay as much as they were? You have to admit the product is damaged right now and the media will bring this up every time a player gets in trouble.

I'm actually happy to see some of these clowns getting cut and put on NFI lists for their stupidity. It's about time they're made accountable for their behavior beyond what the commissioner or league might do to them. Their respective clubs should have always been the first to discipline the players...and Ziggy Wilf got slammed hard for trying to reinstate Peterson. Even that snake Florio came back and said kudos to Steven Ross for getting out in front of the public and holding a press conference early when bully-gate broke and not hiding behind the GM and the coach like the Ravens or Vikings.

Once stadium's are half full, then it will be something to worry about. Until then, all this noise is just that noise.

But until it dies down, no pre/post game stuff for me. Having James Brown of CBS lecture his male audience on societal norms is plain ridiculous.
 
I believe the salary cap is going up because of the new TV revenue deals. If so, losing a few sponsors won't hurt the projected cap increase one bit.

Just a question, are you going to stop watching the NFL? I didn't think so and neither are the rest of the 99.9% of the people who watch it.

Much like bullygate I believe this is a media driven circus. The problems these men get into has no greater percentage than that of the American public. They are just rich and like most rich people have the necessary means to get out of it with the lowest consequences possible.
 
This situation will all blow over soon just like everything else. As to the sponsors, some may go but it won't take long until they are replaced. I don't think there is a bigger stage to have your logo on than the NFL.

Eventually these "scandals" will blow over, and all will be well again.

Spot on observation, but I'll only agree with 3 of the 4.

It may be hard to believe right now, but I believe that one day the NFL will cease to be the power it currently is.

Greed & corruption will be it's downfall.

All it takes is one story to break that they didn't want to get out..... and it all will come crumbling down. While the current affairs seem ugly, we aren't witnessing the death blow.

When? Now that's up for speculation.

Yeah, the NFL gets its money from TV and losing national sponsors has no effect. Losing local sponsors can affect individual teams, as they get most of that revenue but, the amount is not any big deal. IF this was a contract year for TV, it would matter.
 
Erybody knows now that Goodell is a lyin biotch who holds people to a higher standard than he can himself hold to.

Its over. The Goodell feel good speech today will only make people skeptical in the future and it will follow him all the rest of his days as long as he is commish. This crap will only continue because everything is a big secret so nobody will be able to inquire about how decisions will be made or even worse, not made.

This recent rule change midstream reaks.
 
I'm not positive about this but I believe that salary cap increase is due to TV rights contracts going through the roof. I haven't heard it mentioned that ad revenue has anything to do with it, but I'm sure it all works together.
