There have been a lot of questions and speculation about why NFL ratings are down this season. Is it due to the public’s interest in the presidential election? The poor quality of primetime games? The national anthem protests?
Well, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has another theory — the fun factor.
Sherman, asked why TV ratings are down, says "the league isn't fun anymore.'' Players not being allowed to entertain anymore.

When Sherman says the league isn’t fun anymore, he could be talking about any number of things. We’re guessing he’s referring to silly things like Antonio Brown getting penalized for twerking, and Josh Norman getting a penalty for shooting an imaginary bow and arrow in a game.
There’s a reason why people joke that the NFL is an acronym for “No Fun League,” and that reputation may be finally hurting the league.
