“Football remains an amazing game...”
It’s been a bore for over 10 years. Hours of commercials and referee explanations with a few minutes of football for every afternoon spent. I stopped watching before all the political stuff go out of hand.
Can’t sit through an entire game anymore. I’ll just wait and watch the highlights.
The only thing worse than watching pro sports on tv is watching live in the stadium.
I just took my son to a Dodgers baseball game. The monstrous speakers are playing rap nonstop at 120 dB, so loud I can feel my internal organs vibrating. The flashing lights all around the ballpark are annoying as hell. The only time the park goes quiet and stops flashing lights is for a few seconds for each pitch.
They played “Charge” on the organ a couple of times, probably to appease old-timers like me.
I remember my first time watching a pro baseball game live in the then-new Busch Stadium in St. Louis in ‘66. You had an announcer, the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd,the ump yelling “Out” or “Safe,” and an occasional LIVE organ playing “Charge.”
The worst is the huge TV screens at the stadium flashing “Make some noise!” Reminds me of Jen saying “Clap.”
Even without all the woke crap, the experience is awful and geared toward juvenile minds.
