The NFL’s rules about who can say the word “Super Bowl” is really stupid.

Like any organization with power, the NFL is corrupt. This is a universal truth that our founding fathers understood very well.

The “NFL” never said they made a mistake or they were wrong..so nothing has really changed.

Whether intentional or not, the NFL certainly encourages division. I’d say much of it is intentional.

I heard that the vegans have been demanding that the MFL start making footballs out of plants instead of animal skin.

The idea was to give the NFL the ability to more closely control advertising in the area while tourism spikes for the event.

That would be at the NFL stadium. That would be about it.

The NFL has become “The Big Candy Ass”.

Watch without the sound on, turn some music on instead. Becomes almost watchable.

“Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona. “

Glendale, not Phoenix

I can sort of understand why the NFL might apply such pressure in order to provide official sponsors some level of assurance that the event won’t be besieged by ambush marketers.

Not me... I refuse to support it. I can live without it just fine.

It’s not called the National Felon League for nothing.

I gave-up on any so-called “pro” sports decades ago; college sports, too.

I only watch F1, IMSA and IndyCar racing.

I’ll add this to the reasons why I don’t watch the NFL.

I have a friend who lives across from a monstrous camp site. The site organized a massive show a few years ago and she got the idea to set up a small venue at her place to take advantage of the comers. Word went out to the comers that their vendors paid good $$ to set up, which supported the whole shebang, and those vendors deserved their support back in kind.

Lesson learned.

I will only be happy when I turn on a game and there are only 3,000 or so spectators at the game.
