In 1950, America's most popular sports were baseball, boxing and horse racing. In the decades since, the "four major sports" — baseball, basketball, football and hockey — have driven the mainstream sports conversation. History shows that America's sports agenda is always in flux. Just because one sport is dominant today doesn't mean it will remain on top indefinitely. The only constant is that tastes, preferences and sensibilities change. Football Will No Longer Be America's Favorite Pastime by 2050

Millennials ...

The black players have turned into prima donnas and they will now be told to suck eggs by the public.

Being a white, conservative, American, I simply am not their target audience. Screw ‘em.

I guess Donald can’t bitch about the debates being opposite football games.

Football was a bastion of manliness and patriotism - so the left has infiltrated to co-opt or destroy it...

I watch football because it is an escape from the rest of the media. Now that it is “infected” with the same BS, I won’t watch it. (Grabbing free E-Books) Goodall has a very serious problem, I don’t think this is temporary. You have to look at why people watch sports ... he could lose a key part of that demographics.

Getting the ball on the 25 yard line after a kick-off and talk of eliminating the kick off, suspending players for underinflated balls, wasting millions fighting it in court, not suspending players for disrespecting the national anthem and Roger Goodell’s other kooky ideas (teams in London and China) are turning the NFL into a joke.

The old axiom amongst players is that the NFL stands for Not For Long... Let’s hope that’s the case with Goodell.

Time for a new NFL Commissioner, before he fritters away the owners investments.

On Monday Night Football almost all of the commercials were acted by and directed at black people. It was as if white people didn’t exist.

The play on the field in no way resembled the great Steelers vs. Raiders games of the 1970’s. And the play-by-play announcers couldn’t carry the old MNF crew’s jocks either.

I turned the game off at half time and found something else to do.

I’m weaning myself from the NFL:

games now take way too long

I’m tired of watching endless-loop commercials for Ford F-150’s and Doritos.

The game has become increasingly legalistic and decided by referees.

There are more and more thugs in the game

Kolin Kaepernick and his ilk

The combination of ESPN and the NFL is too much for me.

Under no circumstances will I watch a football game on that network, or any other presentation. ESPN has lost its sense of place and I will not indulge it.

The NFL better right its ship soon as well.

$crew the left wing owners of the NFL. Don’t watch their games and cut the cord on cable tv.

Let them push maggots, BLM and shared bathrooms to the left wing lesbians,blmers and gay designers and go broke.

It could be the onset of the Sports Glut. College ball will see a new record 41 bowl games this holiday season. Sports is just another entertainment category and even though there are 500 channels there are still only 24 hours in the viewer’s day.

The NFL is about refs and replays and yellow hankies and pink gloves and shoes and not getting concussions. Maybe that’s not enough any more.

I hope so. If they can’t honor the flag representing our country that gives them the right to pursue these careers, they deserve to be wiped off the football map.

In what way is the play poor? From strictly a talent viewpoint, it’s obviously vastly superior to college football. Amazingly, this season has seen an incredible number of extremely close games. I think Kaepernik is proving to be to football what the Cleveland Disco Riot was to disco: a breaking point at which people said, “enough is enough!”

(”... is enough, I can’t go on...” Sorry. I couldn’t help that.)

It’s time for Goodell to drop dead, for the good of football and America. He’s a totalitarian in performance, and yet still a loser like his leftist, gutless father.

I hope that Tom Brady pisses on his grave and leaves a deflated football on it, as a token of his love for him.

As you can see, I’m not a fan of the Football Fascist.

I decided not to tune in to over paid whiners.
I guess they are now there to whine instead of doing their jobs.

I’d like to know if the betting action in Nevada is down or not.
