The NFL has their goals set really high and they are going to have to innovate substantially to reach this target. The article says they will have to get even more out of media and create new lines of business in order to do this. The NFL is going to make a substantial amount of money from media deals over the next 15 years. In 2014, they are going to have new TV contracts that will increase rights fees. Also, the NFL’s deals with Fox, NBC, CBS, and ESPN expire in 2021 or 2022. This will lead to new increased negotiations with the popularity of the NFL. The only way this could be interfered with is if player health and safety hurts the popularity of the NFL or if a tragedy happens such as an economic or military disaster. Another media aspect that will bring in an extensive amount of revenue is through Direct TV’s out-of-market package that expires in 2014 and their deal with Verizon that expires in 2014 also. Direct TV already pays $1 billion annually so I feel the NFL can definitely have cable companies compete and outbid each other for the new NFL contract. Once the Verizon contract ends, the NFL will be able to test the mobile market. I think this will be very effective with the occurrence of smart phones and tablets. If the NFL is able to get a contract with ESPN and their Watch ESPN app, I think this will…

In previous years before technology was so readily accessible to near about everyone, the NFL basically took an out of sight, out of mind stance on domestic violence. They believed it to be a family matter that did not affect their organization and that it was none of their business. They took this point on the matter even though statistics showed that a good number of professional and collegiate athletes had been reported to the police for violent acts against women. The article states that in 1994 the Washington Post reported that in a 5-year span between 1989 to 1994, 140 violent acts against women were reported among these athletes. However, these occurrences were never big news stories for the media until the OJ Simpson case in 1994. Because of the media attention this case received, a closer look was taken at the crimes committed among professional football players. The most common crime committed was violent acts against women. The NFL continued to turn the other cheek to these facts, stating that it did not influence their business, and it was not their responsibility to discipline the players for acts committed off of the field. Therefore, players that had…
Who doesn’t get excited watching Super Bowl or FIFA World Cup? The anticipation of “who’s going to win?” is always the golden question. The commercials and entertainment running during the Super Bowl makes it a yearly social event even for non football fans. In the same way soccer fans wait anxiously every four years to watch FIFA World Cup. The popularity of these two sports, soccer and American Football, is all over the world. The growing excitement fans feel is mutual but these two sports are far from being similar. They are individually different in sport histories, equipments, and in competing for different championship.…
When it comes to sports in America, The National Football League dominates all others in popularity. For the past 30 consecutive years surveys by the Harris Poll have determined that the NFL is the favorite among fans . 23.6 million fans tune in to watch football every Sunday night on average . However there is a dark side to the NFL’s popularity: Its large amount of criminals. A whopping 55.4% of athletes in the NFL have criminal records . This number is slightly below the national average of arrests for that age group per 100,000, yet it is still concerning because of how young fans see them as role models and icons while the majority of other men age 25-30 are not. Though these athletes have criminal records a lot of them still have huge…

The NFL is a man’s world where each and every man is out on the field to show off his athleticism. Every aspect of the game, whether it is on the field or on the side lines, is predominately male. However, there is an area of the NFL that women could become a part of. Women could become athletic trainers for the NFL. An athletic trainer is a health care specialist that focuses on prevention of injury and rehab to recuperate athletes (Summary). Currently there are no women employed in the NFL although one woman used to work for the Pittsburgh Steelers (Mihoces). There are many people that agree that women should be able to work in the NFL, but there are also many people that do not believe women belong in the NFL.…

The NFL supports numerous of causes such as “play 60”, salute to service, “NFL green” and the league also supports breast cancer awareness in the month of October.

"Super Sunday" is able to attract greater audiences to the annual event than any other television event, but how? Are the teams matching up better? Are the games becoming more competitive? I feel the enormous number of viewers each year has nothing to do with the game. The NFL has incorporated many other aspects to the championship night, including pre-game entertainment, National Anthem renditions, glamorous half-time shows, and hilarious commercials, which all have helped the Super Bowl appeal to a broader group of viewers. Because of this broader group of viewers, the event has turned into one of the biggest social events of the year. Many people watch the game with a group of friends or at a party, and many people place money wages on the game. The NFL being able to appeal to a broader group of vastly unique viewers is the ultimate reason why, in my mind, the Super Bowl has become such a popular culture icon.…
The NFL (National Football League) uses many forms of technology. You may not realize it but they actually have a lot of technology in there everyday games. For example they use headphones to communicate and they use a scoreboard to keep track of the score and to know how much time is left in the game. They also use tablets to make up plays. As you can see there are multiple sources of technology and more that I haven’t even mentioned. Right now, I will only talk about one of these pieces of technology. That one piece of technology will be the earpiece that quarterbacks and coaches use to communicate with each other.…
There are a few discrepancies which include that men account for 49% of the general population, however the account for 58% of the NFL fans versus women who account for 51% of the general population but only account for $35-50K, in which they account for 19% of the fan base for the NFL. The report also states that there are more NFL fans that are married than non-married. The age group with the highest attendance whether on television or at the actual games is 35-44 years old. The Scarborough Report has a tremendous amount of statistics regarding NFL fans. The list goes from what they like to eat or drink to how many kids live in the household.
