Lifelong football enjoyer here, but I can no longer stomach the NFL anymore. I realize the league is, and has always been, an entertainment business but they don’t even bother hiding the massaging anymore. They’re clearly feeling threatened by the fact that college football is more interesting now with the CFP and transfer portal, so they’re desperate for dramatic narratives. wilL iT BE A ThREEPeAT? wILL keLCe PrOposE to tayLOR SWIfT? dID wE MEnTIon TAyLOR swIFT iS HEre?

Anyways, good thing I got into rugby recently cuz it’s Six Nations time

Two random groups of primitive brawlers fight over a ball that is not even round. All while serving ads, ads, and more ads. The perfect American sport.

Although you could make it even more American by handing those players some guns.

Yeah, don't care for the teams but it's a reason to hang out with my friends

I love college football but haven’t been able to get into pro. I just dont feel attached to any team. I’ll hang out and watch it w friends sure, and eat but wish could be on the edge of my seat like the college playoffs that just ended.

If you don't have a geographic attachment to any team, yeah, I could see how it would be hard. They all run pretty much the same offense... another reason I like college better, much more diversity in offensive systems

Yes. I know how shitty the league is but my family is in love with football so why not. Not really cheering for either team.

Ita almost impossible to avoid the shit now. I know plenty of corps are horrible and I still buy from them, in fact its rarer to find a corp that's not shitty than one that is. But if I stop supporting anyone whose business I didn't agree with then I'd probably turn to dust tbh.
