re: "Somehow, I think the damage is irreparable.. "

I agree. One of the things that they failed to appreciate is that football, like most things, is a habit. An acquired taste. Just a few weeks after I stopped watching in 2016, the void was filled by other things that I found just as interesting. At this point, I don't miss football. I enjoyed the Superbowl and will probably continue watching it, but football as an annual event seems just about right. It will be like the Olympics - something to savor once every blue moon and to otherwise ignore.

And that's what the NFL is going to have to deal with. When fans stop watching, even for a little while, their addition is broken. Many will not return.
