Well, let's see--
We are giving up our Redskins season tickets after having them since they started selling season tickets. So, I have been around the NFL for quite a long time. It has devolved into a different game: unpleasant fans, unpleasant players, unpleasant venues, unpleasant prices, unpleasant coaches, and unpleasant owners (especially Washington and Dallas) etc.

It is amazing how things come back around. My parents used to go watch professional football at Griffith Stadium when the seats were a dollar each. All their friends looked at them like they were crazy, as no civilized person went to watch pro football in those days. It was regarded with the same disdain as professional wrestling.
After a great run spanning several decades, professional football has come full circle and is quickly gaining ground on professional wrestling in the quest to be the lowest common denominator of sports. "Professional" is a misuse of the word when referring to either of them.
