The end of professional football is at hand.
The end of competitive sports is at hand. (trannies)
The end of THIS world is at hand.
I think I agree with you. IMO, the NFL’s decline began when they started trying to jazz things up and be more than football. Cheerleaders, the stupid breast cancer awareness month with everyone wearing pink, gal announcers on the sidelines, football players forced to serve able-bodied people Thanksgiving meals as a form of “giving back”, and all the other causes and foundations they promote and support. It’s football, not a social services agency.
