That said, football remains the country's most popular sport by a huge margin, allowing the organization to remain as popular as ever with its partners, advertisers, and sponsors.

Yesterday, Hyundai and the NFL announced that the Korean company would take over as the League's official automotive sponsor. No financial details were revealed.

The four-year deal is widely believed, however, to be worth more than the $25 million previous partner General Motors [NYSE:GM] paid for the privilege. GM had worked with the NFL since 2001.
