Believe it or not, football season is just about to kick into gear.
This weekend is “Week 0” of the college football season, which features a few EARLY starts, including Iowa State taking on Kansas State . . . in Ireland. The full college slate begins NEXT weekend.
And this is also the final week of NFL preseason games. Next weekend, Labor Day, there’s no action . . . and Week 1 begins the Thursday after that.
So, get ready for football fans to start DISAPPEARING from your hangouts . . . unless you are watching the games with them.
In a poll, 71% of Americans admit to “skipping, rescheduling, or turning down plans, to watch football.” And most plan on watching at home. 69% say they’re cutting back on attending games due to rising costs.
61% of people say college football games are more accessible . . . mostly because NFL games aren’t affordable. But overall, 60% prefer the NFL . . . while only 20% favor college football.
Of course, watching games at home can be difficult in a DIFFERENT way: Finding what streaming network they’re on.
56% of people say they’re frustrated by NFL games being exclusive to certain streaming platforms. (And even if you spend $400 for the Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV . . . that doesn’t include ALL the games.)
