NFL does take over Sunday anyway, for many. There’s something about that that’s not good
It’s not just the NFL and Sunday. Gather in any group, and soon there’s talk of the local HS teams and who’s kids and grandkids are stars. Fall Saturdays are monopolized with college football.
My extended family, none of whom were/are particular gifted athletes, ALWAYS gets around to LSU talk sooner or later whenever there’s a gathering.
The morning coffee groups I go to always spend part of the morning talking sports.
But ask ANY of them who the latest local National Merit Scholarship winner is, and you’ll get that look.
