    I found that my interest in football is directly correlated by how easy it is to access the games. If there is any friction I just won’t watch the games.

    If it’s on a TV somewhere, and I am there, I’ll watch.

    I used to watch all the time but I don’t have 3 hours to devote to each game where 2 hours and 45 minutes is talking heads or commercials and you make it hard to find? Nope.

    The only football I’ve be watched this season was a few minutes of a Thursday night game because it was on prime.
