He knows his audience. Even here, on Free Republic of all places, there are still those who support the NFL after they spit in the faces of all Americans, kneeling in solidarity with Communist organizations like Black Lives MatterTM and calling white Americans racist.
Complaining about the half-time irritainment is negotiating with someone who screams in your face that they hate you. "Could you please change the costumes of those who are spitting on me?"

Then, we find out the NFL is as scripted as the WWE, yet fanatics still flock to it, bet money on it, and cheer for “their” team. That revelation has cost no one a job, nor diminished viewership. The fact that watching adults playing a kids game and taking it seriously is a little weird anyway, the whole gladiator, arena battle, schtick is lost on me. Can’t even have hot cheerleaders anymore. Gotta have fat ones, trans, etc. No thanks. They can have it!
