Thugball is finished, it will never recover.
I think you are right. I keep asking myself, what would get me to start watching again. I don’t know. If they stop the kneeling, I don’t know if I can forget that they hate their own country and us by extension. I think a new league could do well overnight. The people they cut every year are within a whisker of being good enough. Some people they cut could have been superstars if given a few years to develop. I have always thought that football needed a minor league system for those people. There are people like Kurt Warner all over the place. Tom Brady, too. People who no one thought much of coming out of college, and with a little development, became hall of famers.
So, anyway, I might have to wait for a new league. Not sure 3 weeks of no kneeling would do it. And we don’t even have that.
