The NFL hasn’t been entertaining in about 20 years. Probably the last time I watched a game. The WWE is more real.

Most sports are in the dumpster.

I’ve always hated football. No clue what those big guys are doing running into one another and falling on their butts or heads, hard to tell which is which under all that padding

Thank God that PGA golf is beginning again. Look forward to watching those highly skilled athletes make wonderful shots.

20 billion dollars worth of people disagree. Actually probably 22 now, they add an average 2 billion a year in revenue.

Cannot even remember the last time I watched an entire game of ANY sport. Never been to Ford Field, never been to Commerica Park/Little Caesars Arena. Just sometimes watch the highlights on YouTube(usually just the local teams)...and then only the most condensed version...it's all $$$-ball, the AMOUNT/(woke)CONTENT of commercials alone makes it completely unwatchable.

Gambling interests used to try to stay in the shadows, now they openly sponsor most of sports radio and some of network/cable TV.

BTW, for all you gamblers out there, I've got (almost) a sure "bet"...

...the Detroit Lions will NEVER win(or even play in) a Super Bowl...as long as the Ford family owns the team.

The abused stepped children of the NFL (one of anyway) can attribute their recent success based on the fact that the fan-base (after almost 70 years of supporting yellow-flag abuse/ownership futility) finally began to check-out...no more full stadiums, no more watching games/buying merchandise....particularly among the 'yutes(along with some of us old farts)

...just too many other entertaining things available now(in the digital age)to fill the void of watching an old/bad product/sport theatrical production.
