Since parting ways with the NFL back in 2020, I walked away from 40 years of Philadelphia Eagles fandom. And while I can say I stopped living and breathing the league as I once did, I still watch from the outside from time to time. Part of it is morbid curiosity and hoping that one day the NFL drops the Wokeymon act. The other part is knowing that deep down, I realize that as long as Roger Goodell as Commissioner the only direction that the NFL will go is more woke and anti-American. And Goodell is not an old man & won't be going anywhere any time soon, so the chances of the NFL and me reuniting in my lifetime are pretty slim. So I thought I'd take a peek this summer and see if things were improving, or more of the same. Let's check in, shall we?
You don't need my help in recapping the horrific events that went down in Uvalde. Not that anyone asked the various pro sports leagues to weigh in, but of course the NFL did. And what was it? No, not by condemning anything as obvious as District Attorneys who specialize in putting dangerous criminals on the street, but by demanding that law abiding citizens disarm.
How about my local team, The Artists Formerly Known As The Washington Redskins? Their Defensive Coordinator, Jack Del Rio, committed the unforgivable sin of not praising the BLM (Building Large Mansions), while publicly questioning the January 6th Reichstag Fire. His head coach, Ron Rivera, stood behind his DC by... forcing Del Rio to issue an apology that was worded as if Del Rio had a gun to his head. And Del Rio was fined $200K by his team for having an opinion based on facts and reality, rather than what the NFL preaches.
The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl last year, thanks to hard work, determination, and bad officiating that would have embarrassed a pro wrestling referee. They recently unveiled their Super Bowl Champion rings, and while Super Bowl rings are known for being gaudy, these are insanely ugly. They look like something you'd see being worn by a vampire or Emperor Ming the Merciless. But that's not why I'm mentioning the rings - they also depict the Rams' home stadium, and you can see in the end zone the words "End Racism". Just like their actual stadium. Congratulations, 2022 Rams - this will forever be your legacy, supporting a group of Marxists that seek to destroy the country that made so many of you millionaires.
And finally, the North Carolina Panthers made history by bringing us the league's first transgender cheerleader. I'm wracking my brain for some witty editorial statement on this but all I can come up with us that it's just... gross. If you need any further explanation for my opinion read a basic biology textbook.

I walked away and never looked back.
Not one minute.
DirecTV emailed me that I can get NFL Sunday Ticket for free. BFD. Haven’t watched an NFL game since 2016.
The Dallas Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding
If white people would stop living their lives vicariously through a team and or athlete(s) therein the nfl would be forced to change their ways or die......nba and mlb included for that matter.
Sports is just like movies or any other form of entertainment and that’s ALL it is...entertainment.
I have an nfl team where I am and they haven’t gotten a dime from me years before this woke crap came along.....and won’t.
I walked away from all professional sports. My life is not empty. In fact, it is much richer. There is a function to sports for children, particularly boys, to learn discipline, teamwork and control their biological/natural aggression. Sports no longer do that. There are other ways to achieve the same results. Truly mature adult men don’t need that. Sports should just be entertainment for men. They are no longer entertaining and their are plenty of other ways to be entertained without sacrificing core beliefs.
Lol! Look at the drawing that shows the SF Pinky-9’ers.
He’s wearing a symbol that looks like the unpronounceable symbol singer Prince used to wear. It was a joke then, it is a joke now.
I haven’t seen a pro football game since the officials screwed the Saints in the NFL play-off game against the Rams, January, 2019. And I only watched that game as the one exception to my NFL boycott that began with the overpaid ingrates taking a knee.
The popularity of sports betting and fantasy football pretty much guarantees the NFL isn’t going away any time soon.
As long as the NFL allows it’s employees:
- while at a company event
- while in their company uniform
- while on company time
- while representing their company on national TV
to disrespect this nation, it’s national anthem, the flag and thereby my service to this nation ..... I will not consume their product(s).
Not all that entertaining now. Maybe I just old and crothidy.
Unfortunately ratings for the NFL are still high. So it looks like even Conservatives aren't willing to turn the dam TV off.
MLB ratings are in rapid decline, though a big part of that probably has more to do with the Saberdouchebags ruining the sport vs the wokeness.
Compared to the college game it’s very scripted....totally different vibe.
Televisions not unlike cell phones are infernal contraptions.
Nope, it was the liberal team owners and sponsors that ruined it. The players were just useful idiots.
I admit I looked back. Back at the nuts still wasting time cheering for “their” team.
Kind of sad the all day Sundays I used to spend on the NFL, still watch the Cowboys (I remember when Tom Landry had hair) but that’s it for the whole week.
Before I opened this thread if someone who have asked me "Quick, who won the last Superbowl?", I would have had a hard time remembering if at all.
If they asked me who won the previous years in 2021 and 2020, right now I would have no clue.
The one the Eagles won is the last one I sort of remember, I used to be able to name them all chronologically, not anymore, I freed my brain up for better stuff.
