F the NFL, a bunch of millionaire athletes who’ve been spoon-fed pablum their entire lives, who so often spit on their adulating fans. A bunch of millionaires who excel at slurping tax money from the public trough. The NFL is the #1 American entertainment addiction. I wouldn’t care much except they expect me to pay for their place of business.

Which sport's participants do you find better?

If I could not find an alternative sport model as an example would that excuse these millionaires pickpocketing of tax money from my wallet to theirs?

Is it required to have at least one sport to exalt? It’s just a big business entertainment venue, whatever your sport.

I’m not a fan and I object to having to pay for their stadiums when I buy a beer, or rent a car, or pay via the 100’s of other mechanisms they’ve dreamed up to avoid having to pay for themselves.

Sorry comrade, but that’s socialism from one side of their mouths asking the public to build a stadium, and capitalism out of the other, paying huge salaries, mega-millions for the biggest stars. Maybe they’ll move the season start up this year, the masses need ever more and more distracting these days.
