Football is cringe
If it wasn't before, it certainly is now.
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.
Perhaps we can use it as a breeding incentive for increasing the Asiatic lion population, we be close to historically accurate since the Romans almost exclusively used the Barbary lion which was a sub population of Asiatic lions.
Don't forget all of the less than subtle gambling references.
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.
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.
The vulgar masses revel in banality.
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...
Yeah we get it you don't like "sportsball" and that makes you unique. What a ridiculous comment lol
Particularly the NFL, which operates as a cartel with monopoly on what is effectively a blood sport.
Eww.
Orange Turd arena?
The Cheetohdome
Dumbass Dome
Has the added benefit of also being named after the people still taking out a second mortgage to be able to attend games.
If they name a stadium after him, they will need extra security because people will fuck it up.
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'm pretty sure Carter did that on his own volition; nobody made him do it.
Sigh. He was too good for us.
Lowest ratings incoming…
Unfortunately not. Their fans love this shit, seriously. Remember they're the same fans who went feral during the kneeling demonstrations.
That was the NFL being political though, this is them being patriotic...is what my troglodyte relatives will say.
Again, the target audience loves that shit. I don't know if you've watched a game lately, but most of the advertisements now are split pretty evenly between:
The NFL is a money-making machine, and it knows its audience. If they're doing this, they know their base will eat it up, and I 100% agree. Many people who haven't tuned in to a game in years will tune in to watch just to show support.
Truly, this is how fucked we are.
Oh I'm totally agreed! It's all capitalist, jingoist garbage, same as it ever was.
Trump’s or NFL’s?
The problem with all of these boycott calls is I've already been doing it for years
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.
Because this is something important a president should be worrying about...
He's conquered the egg crisis, onto other issues!
Joke's on them, I've been boycotting the NFL for 46 years.
Dammit. I can’t boycot the NFL since, like, I don’t watch football….
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.
I haven’t been very excited about the NFL in years and now I’m really not excited about it all.
Just add the NFL to the long line of orange cocksuckers trying to get on the good side of a dictator.
Yep definitely.
The same place where he was too much of a pussy to be inaugurated at?
Nice. Will they put Brawndo ads on the Washington Monument?
Guillotine
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.
Both have nuclear weapons.
Ah shit
Gross
I wonder if they’re all going to take a knee during the anthem.
Way ahead of you. No one in my family even pays attention to "sports ball" of any kind.
