Vanity: MNF Preview Show Broke the Camels Back - Tired of the PC
Vanity | February 19, 2016 | Me

Posted on 09/19/2016 5:49:51 PM PDT by C19fan

I was watching the ESPN Monday Night Football preview show and there was the scroll on the left side of the screen of what was upcoming. On item had the Aguilas (Eagles) v. Osos (Bears). This is PC pandering for Hispanic Heritage Month starting this week. I know this because of course the Fortune 500 company I work for distributed an e-mail telling us cubicle serfs it was Hispanic Month and we should all appreciate it. When I saw that I turned off the tv and walked away. The NFL and their PC corporate partners have broken my back. This has been building over time from the four weeks of pink stuff for breast cancer awareness (who gives a damn about men dying from prostate cancer), the more recent pandering to Hispanics using the Spanish names for the teams, Roger Goodell's pathetic leadership, Goodell having the NFL jump on board the Social Justice issue of the week, and now the likes of Colin Kaepernick disrespecting the national anthem. I was drifting away from the NFL and paying more attention to college football as that product has improved over the past two decades. **** the NFL and going all in for football on Saturdays.

No more NFL until they get their house in order.

My Sunday afternoons are free this fall. Duck season opens next weekend. Walleye fishing picks up in October.

I have not watched the NFL in many years. I did see the Super Bowl last year but that is the only one in maybe 30 years.

I will watch no more either.

Did they actually say the Raiders and I forget who, were playing in Mexico on Thanksgiving? I know they mentioned another game.

Anyway, Mexico has long had games there, all or most all NFL teams have broadcasts in Spanish.

If London ever got a team, I’ve heard Mexico City may well too. I don’t really care to see that kind of expansion.

I used to live and die by Viking success or failure. About twenty years ago I noticed that Head Coach Dennis Green was signing way too many players either from parolee lists or should have been parolees. Emotional attachment was impossible.

When you break the habit that takes about 2 weeks a whole new world opens to you.

It says right here the NFL has zip point zero chance of scaring up a product to get me back. There is just too much to do that doesn't include a 3.5 hour show with about 9 minutes of actual playing time.

Rush Limbaugh said that the NFL would no longer exist in ten years. It might be a lot sooner than that.

I usually watched the first half.

I’ve lost my appetite for NFL now. Didn’t even think of turning it on tonight and just glanced yesterday.
Spoiled millionaire brats!!

My tagline gives my position on Goodell’s empire. I follow the NFL by reading the scoreboard in the local newspaper, if that much.

My doctor says my blood pressure is at least 10 points lower because of it!

To be honest, after High School football on Friday, My sons football on Saturday, and college football into early Sunday morning, the thought of watching NFL and the SJW does just sound appealing.
