Title says it all. I've been completely over the NFL and their woke bullshit for the past 5-10 years. I grew up watching the sport for the past 50+ years, but professional football in America has turned into a grotesque industry in recent years, for the obvious reasons I've already alluded to.
This year, however, is just off the charts horrendous....there were NFL games on Thanksgiving (obviously), and now Black Friday...and now I see there are NFL games on this afternoon and tonight (the 23rd), tomorrow (Christmas Eve), and OF COURSE, on Christmas Day.
I guess I wouldn't care...I just tune out of their nonsense, unless I want to occasionally check in to see the one team that I've followed since a kid...but with all of this being televised over the next 48+ hours, we're going to have most of a dinner party ruined tonight with our late 20-something sons and a couple of their friends in attendance now (probably) glued to the TV...not to mention Christmas Eve/Day, as our sons will tune in (and be screaming at) the damn games.
I'm just so over the NFL...and I'm tired of their money/ratings-grabs....it's just starting to ruin our family time together on the holidays. Could I not allow our sons to turn on the TV? Sure. But then they'll make it seem even more miserable sitting around talking to us.
Sorry, rant over. I f*cking hate the NFL. :(
Can you limit it to another room? That way the addicts can all hang out together...
That's EXACTLY how it's turned out. I'm being a somewhat polite host to hang out for the first quarter or two....but I've SO had it. This much NFL makes me want to vomit...and there's three straight days in a row coming up. 🤢🤮
You could try to get the young 'uns to actually play football outside and run around for a bit. That always gets them hungry! But it'll take a bit of convincing, at first anyway.
Good luck!
On Christmas? That really depends on where you live. This year it’s not snowing so I could actually do that for once
