I think a lot of it has to do with the personalities of the league and the various decisions being made at the top level. Roger Goodell is a tool, too many prima donnas like Cam Newton, too many off field distractions like Deflategate, etc. The NFL definitely has a problem that can only be corrected by a comish change.
