Watch rugby instead.
Ive grown tired of it all but somewhow at playoff time I start tuning in and usually end up watching the Super(or not so super) Bowl
Aaron Hernandez, draft picks sucking face with their boyfriends... football used to be a decent game.
You can have it.
The NFL lost me after their “pink month”, cowtowing to PC, their anti-gun rhetoric on Sunday night and lastly, Sam the homo...they’re very busy in the social engineering business as opposed to the football business.
So long NFL...
I stopped watching years ago, including the SB.
I urge others to do the same. The best way to send the over priced, overpaid PC panderers a message.
“the cynical commercialisation of the sport, its cultish celebration of violence and the more subtle ways in which football warps our societal attitudes about race, gender and sexual orientation.”
LOL. That is not a “football fan” (except the commercialization piece. That’s gotten out of hand.). The rest is just BS.
I’ve been watching the NFL since the 50’s no longer!
I rarely have time in the Autumn to watch Foolball, that’s crunch time around my place.
Geez, what crap.
I do hate seeing all of the pink crap for a month. I like any player that refuses to wear that garbage. The entirety of the NFL is being overly politicized.
When are they going to replace the American flag on the helmets with a ‘Rainbow Flag’(for ass-pirates and “diversity”) for a month?
I’ve mostly lost interest in it.
My biggest gripes are: (I’ll probably leave out a bunch)
There are so many commercials the game is damn near unwatchable.
Seems no one can block or tackle well anymore. You can have someone running with the ball, with five defenders trying to strip the ball instead of tackling them.
Many of the players act like spoiled brats, showboats, or thugs.
Seems these days, the pass sets up the run(the opposite of how it should be).
They’ve totally screwed up kickoff returns - one of the more exciting parts of a game.
When a player makes a perfectly good hit, the dammed refs will throw a flag for it!!!! WTF!
Feel free to add some more, as I’m SURE there’s more!!!
I have many political and philosophical reasons not to watch football, and I would love to say they are losing viewers due to degenerate personnel and leftist politics, but the main reason I dropped it is that it is boring. 18 minutes of actual play drawn out to 4 hours with time outs and TV breaks. If there is an NFL game on in my house it is generally background noise for whatever else is going on.
Sports, especially played at the professional level, do a lot of damage to players’ bodies. It’s the nature of always running at your highest physical level. They hold up baseball as preferred, have they ever bothered to see what happens to baseball players, especially pitchers and catchers, after their career? It ain’t pretty. The NFL is working on the injuries, concussions were down last year, of course one year is a small sample size so we don’t know if that’s a trend or clustering.
I stopped watching football when they fired Tom Landry.
Goodell is a corrupt fiend. He’s trying to turn the NFL into the XFL, which was a total flop. He hands out less punishment to his favored teams, encourages fraternization between referees and player, etc.
They unveiled a ray lewis statue in Baltimore today. Plead guilty to obstruction of a murder investigation. Testified as if he was in 2nd grade (so no convictions), and never produced the white suit he was wearing that night.
The nfl and espn are pretty much despicable.
“...cultish celebration of violence...”
It’s called diversity Richard Head!!!
I celebrate the violence in football — Loved playing, love watching it, and love teaching it to my son. We are a football family.
Someone need a wwwwwaaaaaaammmmmbbbbbbbuuuuuuullllllaaaannnnccee.
I just can’t dedicate the 4+ hours needed to watch a US football game. The constant commercial breaks are a nuisance. I also agree with other posters - too much PC BS now in football as well
I’ll spend game time on YouTube looking up old CART and Formula One races...
Come back at me bro when you address other, more cultish, experiences, such as abortion worship, or the slavish devotion to all things Progressive which includes supporting, without any basis, the cult of Obama to the great detriment of this country.
