I wish. It's all the dork faggots who got into it because of fantasy football and then went hyper nerd faggot with "muh metrics." The same thing happened to baseball. Dudes that couldn't fucking throw a football or baseball, all of a sudden became experts- analyzing every aspect of the game.
That’s such a small cohort in relation to the usual mass of fans. Football WAS a fall tradition. The sound of it on the TV was as synonymous with fall and family that it has transcended sport and become cultural. That’s why people hurt so badly when the NFL started going in with the “America is racist” bullshit.
Now it’s changed. NFL is spiteful, petty. Many not only don’t watch it, but also actively hate on it. Look at the ratings, the ticket #s. It’s not flatline but it’s dented to shit. Will be worse this year.
Our 10 year fantasy football league is coming to an end this year due to this. I have no interest in supporting or watching it anymore. I went to a game last year and realized its mostly fat, drunks whose best thing going for them are the 16 Sundays they get every year to be fat, drunk, and yell at grown ass men all making millions. I really only enjoyed it to appreciate the athleticism, wasn't one of those queers whose week was ruined cause his team lost.
Well, how they gonna play Footy-ball this year with half the stadiums being in the same states telling small business they cant be open and to social distance? I mean afterall, football season is literally during REAL flu-season. How they gonna play off the mass-deaths from corona during winter next year and keep football? Someone is losing fucking ground here. Sure they can do a stream of just the players on the field, but something tells me that is much less revenue than what a stadium trip pulls in.
They'll just let them be open and no one will say anything. Every day I see people bitching about someone at some restaurant or grocery store not wearing a mask but nothing regarding the riots. It's just a political cudgel at this point, the virus is only a small component of why things are the way they are.
I'm still not convinced they are going to have a season at all. Too many are going to get it before the season starts and they will shut it down and blame Trump for not doing enough to stop the spread like forcing masks on everyone everywhere
Remember when the NFL made players wear pink armbands to raise breast cancer awareness?
As anyone familiar with him knows, Bill Burr is a HUGE football fan and has been for decades. He records and watches every single game, and he also watches a lot of college football. He's been saying for a few years now that women are killing football. He even talked about it on an episode of Conan. You could tell it was making Conan a little uncomfortable. And it's true: a couple of years back some NBC executive admitted that they are trying to make sports more appealing to women because that's where the big advertising bucks are.
also classism, plenty of rich liberal jerks are into football just to flex season tickets and private tailgates
as someone decidedly middle class, going to an okay Texans game with even OK seats has always been out of reach. Cheap Astros and Rockets tickets have always been decent views and good match ups
Dudes that couldn't fucking throw a football or baseball, all of a sudden became experts- analyzing every aspect of the game.
Funny that THIS is what's destroying baseball long before the SJW crowd got them, too. GMs who have never actually played the game screwed the sport up with moronic shifts, stupid lineups, endless pitching changes, etc. They're even embracing batters striking out because it might mean five more home runs at some point in the season. Meanwhile it only resulted in an event where you basically just wait around for home runs, cheer for two minutes, then go back to watching guys strikeout.
They don't even realize that airing all those old "classic" games from the 80s and 70s during the scam shutdown only made baseball fans realize how the game turned into a crap product.
That's me... 34 and I LOVE IT. I miss hitting a QB... BUT
On my life I will never watch it unless I get an apology. I turned it off after Jerry Jones took a knee a few years back. I was weak and came back... NO MORE!
No watching, talking about it or playing fantasy football.
Unfortunately, the NFL is still a juggernaut of a cash cow and even with all of this commie bullshit, they'll probably remain so for the foreseeable future unless a mass boycott really takes off (unlikely). The same can't really be said for nascar, they can't afford to "get woke" and their days are probably numbered.
Nascar is dead, NFL is rushing to be next in line

Kind of like this faggot article:
What to do about baseball brawls in the age of social distancing.
From a game design perspective, it sounds like the sport became optimized for the players rather than the spectators. Bad rule set.
That's me... 34 and I LOVE IT. I miss hitting a QB... BUT
On my life I will never watch it unless I get an apology. I turned it off after Jerry Jones took a knee a few years back. I was weak and came back... NO MORE!

Adult leagues on facebook/insta or intramural leagues (see if your university has vocational classes and take one just to qualify)
do what you love.
also, eyeshield 21, it's anime but I haven't read of a former player or fan who didn't love it and get hyped watching it
I appreciate that. I'll look into it all of it. Including the "eyeshield 21". I've never been one to watch anime but, hell, why not?
It's a mechanism to not feel racist and to accept low-IQ members of society.
Unfortunately.... I know you're right. Some people can't cut the cord even when things clearly begin to suck. (I was able to do it on Star Wars!!!)
I'm done with the NFL. This SJW bullshit they are pushing this season is just too much.
Rushing to be next? Dude NFL was in line way ahead of NASCAR
The NFL was submitting to Communists before it was woke.

Id rather NFL die off, least Nascar has cool crashes
BOYCOTT THE NFL
Boycott wasting your precious time and hard-earned money = pro sports
