Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1088605, member: 628"] Yes, you keep claiming that time of game and penalties will harm football interest. Football, both college and pro, has never, ever been more popular. It's not just about fantasy and gambling. 20 million people play fantasy football, that's about 10% of all people who watch football on TV each season, and the number hasn't moved significantly in several years now (while ratings increase). Why would it being about a "social event" be a negative? In a culture that is more and more fragmented, unifying social experiences are more powerful and valuable than ever. It's easy to "predict" something in the absence of data. Feel free to scare some up and make a case. Of course you [I]think [/I]you're right. Everyone[I] thinks [/I]they're right. [/QUOTE]
