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. :(
Somebody here or on PDW the other day posted something really funny. Apparently, his niece and his daughter were visiting, and they were watching that stupid Barbie movie, and it was all about being a narcissist and hating on men. He shut down the Internet in the middle of the video. The reeeees! 🤣😂
Might I suggest turning off your Internet service, and just tell them it’s not working. People would still be able to use their phones for making phone calls and to be on their device for checking social media, but your TV would not be able to work. Just a suggestion. It’s a little bit covert, however… even if you can get your TV off for an hour, don’t you think that would help with your time together. Perhaps if you time it right, where they get to watch the last half of the game or something like that, it would be more tenable. This way you would have some family time together, and then they would be able to watch the end of the game. ??
If one of them has streaming mobile, home wi-fi outage wouldn't matter. Gotta strategize.
I know, right?
