Yes, the NFL for years has tried to attract the younger demographic who is more attuned to soccer than football. At the time I read the article around the whole take a knee/SJW response, the 'average' NFL fan was a white male in his 50's. So the NFL was destroying its base in the hopes of attracting younger viewers. A local news story said that after the first TayTay attendance at a Chiefs game, that a top search on Google was "what is a tight end"? LOL My son works as an usher for the Chiefs, and the second game she attended, he was assigned to the section below her suite. Said half the people in his section came with binoculars. To watch the game up close? No, to turn around and get a close up into the luxury suite with the hopes of getting a glance at TS. He was disgusted by all this, so glad there are still a few young people with their heads screwed on right.

Your first three sentences describe the "Bud Light" technique.

As the invasion of young fighting age males continues I think you will be correct that soccer takes over.
