“Roger Goodell made the choice of halftime entertainment and there was no pushback from the owners to my knowledge.”
WRONG! The NFL has had a contract with the rapper, Jay Z, since 2019, to produce the super bowl halftime show. Dude, I do NOT watch or follow the NFL and I know THAT!
As for a “RIVAL” football league. Isn’t ONE football league ALREADY too many???
As far as football goes, the game was far better years ago before all the rule changes. Maybe I am nostalgic, but the coaches back in the day were role models, as were many of the players. Few coaches have the character of a Tom Landry, a Vince Lombardi, etc.
