Once, the NFL faced a bad contest with other US Games.
Now, the NFL does not even see other US sports as competitive.
A recent email related to the upcoming book of Ken Ballson. Every day is Sunday: Jerry Jones, Robert Craft, and Roger Godel have turned the NFL into a cultural and economic jogent. Roger Godel, a quote produced after the Super Bowl Lviii in Las Vegas, shares the private.
“We are not competing with the NBA or MLB,” said Godel. “Our rivals are Apple and Google.”
That’s fine, even if the NFL is doing business with Google and can soon do business with Apple. The NFL continues to grow. The effect is spread from football to business. This is something that can attract millions of people to permanently see an event, from important (like a super bowl) to smaller (like the Hall of Fame Game). Even the draft, which can be done through the group text, is mandatory TV and a lively event in which hundreds of thousands have been attracted to testify, well, nothing more.
Regardless of where the NFL goes here, it has left other US games in the dust. And, yes, it is targeting a huge fish.
There is another rival that Godel did not mention. At the level, talking also seems ridiculous. But the NFL certainly hopes to chase football, and be caught.
Yes, it’s funny. At least as ridiculous as it must suggest that Pro Football will catch the Major League baseball in the ’30s,’ 40s, and ’50s.
