When I was going to college in the 70s, I worked at a Sears appliance repair center. I remember one year the motivational theme was "Sears Excellence League," with a logo that was a take-off of the NFL logo (I can't find an image of it on the internet).
The reason I mention this is that I see the slow demise of the NFL following in the footsteps of the slow demise of Sears, with the leadership either not knowing or not caring about its customer base or its target market.
Unified blacks and whites...
It used to, as I have noticed
At the Shop.
Nobody is making $52 billion off the SB. Where ever you read that is a bunch of liars, don’t go there again. Now NBC stands to make a solid $500 million, but the NFL isn’t getting anything directly. They already got paid.
There are few and far, and I was including college
You really want to argue this point?
“Sundays Super Bowl”
Is that this weekend?
Die NFL, die die die.
“The fact that Justin Timberlake is once again performing in the Super Bowl halftime show is another indicator the NFL is sick and dying.”
Because nothing says “current” and “relevant” like an aging ‘90s boy band member.
A quick google check shows seven black NFL head coaches.
Eleven Division 1 (or FBS as it seems to be called now) black head coaches.
IF Brady wasn’t playing, I would not pay one little bit of attention.
Tomorrow I will miss my first Super Bowl since Green Bay played the Chiefs.
I don’t know any players on the lowly AFL teams, but Lombardi’s Packers? Had to watch Bart Starr & Co.
Yes. There are several black head coaches, coordinators, and position coaches. Your assertion that black players only look up to their white head coaches as role models is just eye-rolllingly stupid.
The democrats have got their people running the NFL with the purpose of ruining it as it represents America. Baseball will next but I think the owners there have made it clear they will fight as you do not see any knellers there.
Nope...no knellers under here either.
If anything, the NFL has done a great job of making me a baseball fan.
Whats wrong with the NFL. They need competition of a different kind of draft. Like the US Armed Forces.
There are too many teams, but not enough exceptional owners, coaches, and athletes, to staff them.
The most glaring deficiency is quarterbacks. There are 32 teams but only about 10 QBs who play at a consistently high level, and probably half of them will miss some part of the season with injuries.
Solution: Reduce to 16 teams and 12 regular season games.
Probability of That Happening: In the neighborhood of 0%
I know there are black coaches, et al. But do the math. Incredibly high illegitimacy rates and a disproportionate number of black players. Along with a dearth of black coaches.
And read the relationships in articles, particularly college/recruiting and see who bonds with who. If you read “absolute” into my post, then you’re the one “eye rolling stupid”
Anyone with a brain could infer what I meant. And it’s not lost on me you were the only one to complain
Why? They are playing a children's game that is completely and utterly irrelevant to our society.
Agreed. I don’t respect their skills any more than I would respect the competitive video game players, but they have acquired the skills.
