Yeah I thought that too. Haha. Lots of people swore up and down they’d never watch the NFL again. Seems that was less than truthful.
The opioid of the people is alive and well. Useful idiots...all.
The "culture of the mob".
When they move that far away from my own culture, they simply cease to entertain.
I don't know if it was very constructive, but I spent that time watching reruns of "Hawaii Five-O", which I found to be quite entertaining.
Amazingly it somehow turned into a playoff and Super bowl of great games, with comebacks tension, and displays of professional athleticism and spirit. In most cases either team could have won up until the last few minutes. I don’t remember a lot of woke either in the last month and kneeling was ignored. I’m a lions fan and got a Super bowl victory via proxy in LA. Worked at Ford Field in the offices while my stomach twisted, walking past the clean bright field every morning on the way to the elevator. Everyone in town knew Stafford was special. He was given roughly three players of value on the field until they were either ground down to retirement like Megatron, sent off the deep end mentally like ndamukong Suh, or an endless string of running backs who face the same fate as the quarterback with no offensive line. Suh slowed the offenses to give him better field position but neither Brady, Montana, Marino, or Manning would have been more than an average quarterback given 10 years of the semi-pro jokes surrounding Stafford under the Ford family. Brilliant when it comes to cars and trucks, and the community but patently incompetent running a football team.
Didn't watch last year; didn't watch this year.
Prior to Kaepernick, I watched every one.

Up from last year doesn’t indicate that it’s anywhere near its highs.
And, our population is the highest ever.
I don’t know if Lupe and Chang are watching football though.
