You can't be serious. ALL of us were around during the 70s and the 80s...and we have experienced all this first-hand. FOOTBALL..."LESS POPULAR"? You've lost your mind. Haven't you noticed that football has become a RELIGION, in this country? The NFL is now a year-round affair, for heaven's sake.
You are trying to compare the audience of yesteryear, when we only had one game to watch on a Sunday...to the audience of TODAY...when every single game is available for our viewing pleasure?
If you go out on the street and tell people that football is "less popular" now than it was in the 70s...they'll lock you UP!
