The Way We See It: Goodell can point to himself, NFL owners for ratings decline

Roger Goodell should look in mirror for ratings drop

The Way We See It, it’s pretty obvious why the NFL’s television ratings were down 10 percent year over year through Week Six of the 2016 NFL season, yet as commissioner Roger Goodell spoke to the media following owners meetings in Houston last week, he indicated his bosses don’t really believe they’ve lost viewers and that tinkering in a few areas should fix the issue.

For starters, Commish, if your ratings have dropped 10 percent, and they have, you have absolutely lost viewers.

If what you were suggesting is some of your viewers have just taken a break for whatever reason and will be back soon, Nero wasn’t particularly worried about the fire as long as he had his fiddle either, and how did that work out for him?
