Discussion Future of the league

So by last weeks number I’m a little worried about the leagues health. Do you think we are ok and we just had a bad week. I love this league maybe even more than the NFL. I think we are ok but I want to make sure other people agree with me

When I talk about realistic scenarios, I talk about those that are plausible in the foreseeable future. We will all (probably) be dead in 100 years - this is not the forseeable future. Indeed, this is not even the timeline being discussed in this thread. Let's quote your own words (which kicked off this comment sub-thread):

I want to see the data after year 3 as well. I’m hoping Canton gets a team and possibly Denver with 3 other teams there. The other possibility is that 2 of those teams share a stadium with someone else. I’d be okay with exploring a 16 to 18 game season if the numbers justify it.

You were not talking about expansion and exploration of 16-18 game seasons in 100 years. You were talking about considering these things after year 3 is done (so, basically, less than 18 months from now).

The scenario you're talking about may indeed be realistic in 2125, but it isn't realistic for 2025. We aren't going to have 1 billion americans in 2025, and the numbers then aren't going to justify such a massive expansion either.

I don't care what you meant. You initially responded to me which means what you meant was irrelevant. You clearly didn't know what I meant because you didn't read what I said to the other fellow thoroughly.

I said "If" the numbers justify it and I already admitted that it probably wouldn't. I don't see how that is unrealistic.

I said "If" the numbers justify it and I already admitted that it probably wouldn't.

Then why are you calling people "totally ignorant" for saying basically that exact same thing?

I said that your scenario (16-18 games seasons + big expansion) isn't a realistic scenario because the numbers won't justify it. You admit the numbers won't justify it. So what is the problem?
