I finally completed the process of emotionally liberating myself from sports a couple years ago, football was the hardest. I did watch some games yesterday and watching the calls...man, glad I see it just as entertainment now.
I love football, but I’m seeing it rot into an egoistic event only rivaled by professional wrestling.
Every time a player makes a decent play they act up and gesture to the crowd in search of adoration. Hey, you haven’t won yet. Save it for the ending.
Barry Sanders was a class act. Score an amazing touchdown, hand the ball to the officials. He was paid to be good.
Well, as a Lions fan, it is a requirement to watch through that lens :) I learned to do it a few years back.
