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. :(
Same. Shitty sport and dread going over to family functions where I know there's fans of it. Nothing says fun on the holidays like sitting around the TV for 4 hours seeing and hearing a load of subliminal messaging and a bunch of dudes growing each other the whole time. Fuck I hate football lol
I am SO with you, fren. And the cycle REPEATS today...my sons are glued to the TV. I'm so done, and I'm not doing it. If that means we're sitting in two separate rooms on Christmas Eve Day, SO BE IT. I'm tired of giving in and compromising for everyone else's "needs" in terms of bread and circuses.
