I thought it would be harder than it was last year, being a pretty serious Pittsburgh fan for all of their teams.
But between MLB and college football keeping me occupied until hockey started, it was easy.
It’s going to be even easier this year. I don’t miss the 15 minutes of play and 3 hours of walking into, out of and around huddles.

I watched just one half of one regular season game in 2017, and the 2nd half of the super Bowl. that’s IT. No “agony” whatsoever. And I had previously subscribed to Sunday Ticket and Redzone for YEARS. Then when the League joined Obama and America’s enemies, I cut them off cold. All patriotic men and women should do the same.

The quality of play today sucks anyway.
It’s all about athleticism over skill.

Also I found it intriguing your use of virtue signaling on the non liberal side. First time I've seen this used and appreciate it. Hadn't thought about it. But we as conservatives--or whatever one calls themselves--are just as subject to this behavior as well. Way to take a stand and point this out.
As mentioned I definitely won't be watching any NFL games. But I really appreciate the opportunity in this day and age to agree to disagree. What a concept so rarely practiced anymore. Like that we can uphold this beautiful and powerful American tradition. Enjoy the season!

What a whine ass. It's a free country Mr. Ellis. Watch if you want, don't want if you don't.
These commentaries by "conflicted" individuals bore me.

I have to go with House on this one. Your post was a classic example of virtue signaling.

The NFL has decided its better to be a SJW tool of Leftist divistion than a patriotic point of unity for the USA.
GTHNFL. No more.

Well, you still have college football, and around here, high school football is big.
The Saints have always been easy to scorn and when they got rid of some of their best players, I gave up on them. Last year, the political pronouncements of Sean Peyton made it even easier.

Really ?
My only point was I'm going to watch the NFL games because I want to...
Nothing virtuous about that position...
Maybe a libtard dictionary is in order here.

By the way, college players play with a lot more heart. I saw a couple of Saints games where I almost wanted to suit up and go out there and help them.

the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one’s good character or the moral correctness of one’s position on a particular issue.
Humm...
I don't think my post meets that criteria

I read somewhere that 18 of the 32 NFL teams have reduced their ticket prices for the upcoming season.
When was the last time you ever heard of a single team reducing ticket prices in any major sport?

Since I’ve always hated football with a passion, I’ve not been affected at all. I’ll never understand why so many people find it so addictive and appealing.

Bingo! Was a Donkey’s fan since I was 12 and I am 47 now. Watched a bit last year and they sucked and the players were disrespecting the American people. I have not watched nor will I watch this year. Sundays are better for boating, target shooting and fishing.
F-— the NATIONAL FELONS LEAGUE!
