“The NFL is the most popular sport now and it’s completely American,” JA Apparel CEO Marty Staff said. “It all works. All of our competitors are European and this is really a point of departure for us. Also, we love guys who are 35 to 54. We’re not a metrosexual company.”
And went on to say they have a "husky" section for Mangina.
Idiotic rules? Seriously?
The NFL gets paid good money simply for dressing its coaches in and associating its name with Abboud's clothes, and the "rule" that makes this possible is "idiotic?" It's money for nothing: it would be idiotic NOT to take it.
Oh, and injury reports are an idiotic rule? Do you know how much interest in football over the years has been driven by gambling? And more recently, Fantasy Football? Anything that makes these pass-times run smoother is yet another thing lining the pockets of the league. (Not to mention the extra hours of media share the NFL gets every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday just from people tuning in to see if their team's player's condition has been changed.)
Finally, the "access to coaches and press conferences": again, more coverage of the NFL in sports media = free advertising for the NFL's product (the games). Putting more people's faces and voices out there for the fans to connect with = a greater sense of connection between consumer and product.
Simply put, these "idiotic" rules are what make the league the profit-making machine that it is today. Now, do I really need to explain to you why the league being profitable and making as much ancillary revenue as it can is good for Bill Belichick, and good for us, the fans?
Ask David Stern how he feels about how much "extra" revenue gambling brings to a sport. Then ask him to cross reference it with all the "extra" media hits it brings.So you're saying that a rule that facilitate side-industries that drives intense interest in the NFL product, and thus makes the league countless millions or dollars, and costs pretty much nothing is... idiotic?
I sure hope you're never put in charge of anything more complicated than a mop and bucket for any business that I'm a part of.
