“It wouldn’t bother me to see the NFL disappear entirely from society.”
It won’t, it is a cult addiction of priority at all costs even personal integrity. It is many times even more important than loved ones. Many many divorces have happened because football was more important than even wives.
One of my daughters had to divorce because football was more important than her and even the kids. He could not even keep a job because he could not drag himself away from football on TV. It was an obsessive mental illness with his guy and he is not alone.
No matter what the NFL does, the weak will continue to watch, support, buy the gear, tickets, season passes, and Cable/Satellite subscriptions. They are willingly owned and enslaved by the drug they crave.
Spot-on analysis; so true, and I know a couple of them, too.
