This explains why videogames threatening sports.
If home games are the future, the team is liitle more than our avatars. Then the game itself does not have to be real.
Humor has a way of exposing truth.
Another big problem with football is overexposure. Too many games, as Troy Aikman pointed out. There are too many games from the NFL on down, including the endless seasons of playoff and bowl-saturated college football.
Each NFL game used to be a BIG deal, something to look forward to on Sunday afternoon. Now games come and go almost as fast as NBA basketball games.
The NFL schedule has gone from 14 games to 16 and some want 18. The “bye week” and playoffs extend the season forever. Games on just about every day of week. Plays last too long. You can never cheer a fantastic play wholeheartedly. Instead you hear the dreaded words — “flag down.” Or you wait through commercials for official reviews that last forever.
