NFL is a Nazi enabling organization. Boycott the NFL.

    And we made Carter sell his peanut farm in case it was a conflict of interest. I wish a thousand years of darkness and obscurity on the Republican party, the fools.

      I mean, if you really want to boycott, pick the company with the most super bowl commercials. We probably can’t boycott them all at once, but we can boycott them one at a time.

    Still, the NFL has learned the art of the deal, when it comes to dealing with the 47th president. Gratitude, flattery, and praise are the key ingredients to the not-so-secret sauce.

    It also wouldn’t hurt to name the new stadium after him.

    Eww.

      I used to enjoy it, but as they kept injecting more and more ads, in addition to their horrific response to the concussion stuff, it’s become unwatchable to me.

      However, that being said, I think the sport itself is pretty good. Think of it as being “turn-based” rather than the “realtime” of soccer. There is an extreme amount of strategy involved, in addition to the necessary physical abilities. Also, weirdly, math sometimes lol

      But yeah, not good enough for me to ignore the insane and dangerous culture of giving your child dozens of concussions before their brain is fully developed…

      there’s like 11 minutes of actual play in a 3 hour game. Not even exaggerating. The rest is ads, replays and watching people stand around twiddling their thumbs.

        Only if you don’t count the time at the line of scrimmage, while the clock runs, as “play time.” Which, imo, would be pretty ignorant of the sport.

        It’s four, 15-minute quarters of game time. And yes, several hours of ads, which is the main reason I stopped watching.

        Thats so fucken inane, can’t we just bring back gladiatorial games? Mock naval battles, to first blood fights, and having Christians mauled by lions sounds a lot more fun with less brain damage.

        60 minutes play time NFL and college. Don’t care I love college football even though my team has been hot ass the last 20 years and NIL, transfer portal, and conference expansion is making it worse.

    I stepped away from my team a couple years ago, because I get to emotionally attached plus I started to dislike the product that is the NFL more and more. Had I not already stepped aside, I’d have dropped cold turkey right now.

    Fuck the NFL, it’s not only dead to me, but I will actively avoid the product going forward.

    Isn’t there like a war breaking out right now that you should be worrying about? I believe one of the sides has nuclear weapons.

    Way ahead of you. No one in my family even pays attention to “sports ball” of any kind.
