Stinky Cheese: The Broken Bond Between the Packers and Fans

The relationship between the Green Bay Packers and their fans has been one of the most special in all of professional sports. Instead of one deep-pocketed owner running the show, the Packers are literally owned by the fans. Each owner has stock in the team that gives them voting rights at the team's annual shareholder [...]

My interest in the NFL has wained well prior to the lockout.. it was all the prostering prior to the lockout that really started it. Bickering over how to split the billions did it for me.. to the point that if I hadn't had stock prior to that, I would not have even purchased that unique novelty item.

Is the gap widening just for the Packers and their fans.. I concur.. but sooner or later it is going to hit the NFL as a whole. Professional sports as a whole, but the NFL in particular. I firmly believe that much of the draw to the NFL has surrounded the ability to watch the games on over the air "free" broadcasting. Baby step by baby step that is changing.. and I firmly believe soon there will be a push to subscription based broadcasting to be ramped up to where it is the norm. Greed will dicate it. College football is already knee deep in it with the SEC, Big Ten, etc networks. Select games are still on the big three.. but many are not. I firmly believe the NFL will continue to select the prime matchups to paid networks.. more and more each week until they target Sunday day games. Greed dictates.

For me.. it is returning me to my roots of the game.. prep ball. Even there the $$$ creep is showing.. but it the best alterative I have currently.

Goodell is a phoney.

Another thing that I don't like is the way they bend (and change) the rules to help offense. If we wanted to just watch teams scoring back and forth, we'd watch NBA.
