I've heard of Tom Brady. Brett Favre. Peyton Manning. Troy Aikman. John Madden.
I've caught enough Super Bowl games that I can count them on one hand.
I may catch highlights of seasonal games. It looks cool, but games take too long to get invested in football. I think I'd like football more if the games were shorter. There's no guarantee I'd invest time or even money into it still. I like some of the mascots.
It is very unlikely a single fan or sports journalist of football, who actually watches games and buys merchandise, thinks the NFL should cater to me.
Pro wrestling is the only fandom where this strange phenomenon of a necessity of appealing to a casual fan occurs.
