BTW, I often did other things while I was enjoying football, especially when I had it on the radio. Activities including: housework, sewing, paying bills, home repair, yard work, cooking, baking, elder care.

All while enjoying the game and the company I shared it with.

Get the idea? :-)

I certainly understand it. I used to watch a ridiculous amount of sports.(I still trained and played sports)
Many people, even though in a group, are just getting hammered and eating 5000 calories.
The US is getting fatter, lazier, and less moral.
You’re active and conservative, but I don’t think you’re the norm.
Just my opinion.

So ‘hate whitey’ is a poor business model.
Who knew?

If someone wanted to sit, relax, and enjoy a game, that was fine with me.

Part of what made it easier for me was that I grew to hate the TV coverage and much preferred the radio announcers.

And I just can’t sit that long while doing nothing else unless I’m reading. And whatever I’m reading better be engrossing.

I'd sooner watch replays of harness races from Yonkers, Dover, or Harrington on those tracks' websites.

The NFL should fire Goodell.

Then they should sue him for damages for the many millions of dollars he has cost the league.

Goodell and the NFL is evil bump.

The Tour de France is on cable right now.

Yes, but even that is disappointing. Cuck masks everywhere, and have you noticed that during the jersey presentations after the stages, it is no longer two attractive women on either side of the cyclist, but a woman on one side, and a man on the other? Yeah, a minor thing, I suppose, but it is just another example of “wokeness”. I guess someone decided it was sexist or something.

It is national sports that have helped collectivize the nation. As has media iin general.

I am in Pittsburgh, and have never seen or felt less interest in a Steelers opening game. I don’t even know what the score was. Anybody see the ratings?

The only viable way out for the NFL, at this point, is to oust Goodell and announce a "Back to Football" campaign to coincide with the receding of the COVID crisis.

That will never happen. the players have too much authority now, and "woke" is how they like it. It probably galls some people like Drew Brees, who was basically forced to eat a sandwich made of his own feces; but wokeness in sports is here to stay. The dumbass players who started it are just useful idiot tools of the Commies or Jihadists who want to destroy the things that once unified Americans.

Considering the days we are living in, notice how everything is getting "Woke" and driving many away? From NFL to Star Wars, many forms of entertainment are beginning to become so repugnant that people are being driven away. This is likely a good thing; in that, it hopefully is driving people to Jesus and the things of this world appear to be less and less appealing. Having Idols (NFL etc...) is forbidden because we have a very jealous G-d.

“For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily, for being
cops, or for the Memory of 9/11...”

The year was 1985.
The commissioner was Pete Roselle.
The player was Jim McMahon.
McMahon took a magic marker and wrote “Pluto” on his regulation white sweat band. A shout out to an old school friend.
He was fined by commissioner Roselle.
The next televised Bears game McMahon wore a homemade “Roselle” headband.
Fined again.

The No Fun League has ALWAYS determined what could be worn and what actions players could take. Now the WokeFL is now openly siding with those who hate us.
Can’t wait for the WokeFL to die.

Roger Goodell is ten years past his prime-exit date with the NFL.

I also live in the Burgh. For the first time I didn’t watch last night and could care less.

Aligning themselves with the racist/terrorist cult of BLM was a stupid thing to do ... but then again we’re talking about “big business” here although until 2015 the NFL itself was considered a non-profit “trade organization” by the IRS.
