Hey,
I didn’t leave the nfl,
They disrespected my Country and left me.
The nfl its players, owners can go to hell.
I only feel bad for the soda ,hot dog, and beer venders
The dirty little secret of the NFL is that is Goodell that suffered the traumatic brain injury. :-)
Penalties are never reviewed, but your point is taken about certain reviews being way too long. Especially when it’s fairly clear what has happened (i.e. a clear scoring play or a clear fumble, etc.)
And yes, the push towards increased scoring and increased passing at the expense of defensive play has left the defensive players virtually unable to touch pass receivers. This makes the game stumble with penalties on almost every pass play.
The NFL isn’t boxing or horse racing. Despite it’s decline, it’s far and away the most popular major sport in the country. It’s revenue and ancillary revenue far outpaces the others.
I do think the over saturation has hurt a lot. And turning teams around from Sunday to Thursday has also hurt the quality of the game in terms of preparation time, players recovering from injury etc... It’s been a “perfect” storm for the NFL and the kneeling has been butchered by the league about as bad as it possibly could have been.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
