Meme pages, coworkers, etc. have no interest in the Super Bowl. People are beginning to see that these playoffs were all a sham to get Taylor Swift and the Chiefs a Super Bowl victory maximizing money.
Jokes on the NFL though. Even some of my braindead normie coworkers see through it. Nobody wants to watch. Everyone assumes KC will be given the game by the refs/NFL. Unfortunately for the NFL if they want to save their reputation they are gonna have to rig it for the 49ers.
Amazing how these normies can see it in the NFL but can’t/refuse to see it in every other facet of life.
The fact that sports are rigged doesn't surprise me. The fact that anyone gives a shit about sports does surprise me.
Like a child that finds out wrestling is fake... Many will walk away when they realize the extent of it.
I was a big college football fan. I like the schemes and strategies of football. But conference realignment, NIL and the transfer portal have killed college football.
Speaking of football being rigged, I saw a lot of college football fans wake up after watching #1 Georgia and undefeated #4 FSU get shafted for Bama in the playoffs.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Nick Saban's sudden retirement announcement is him getting ahead of something.
Georgia lost the SEC championship game they deserved to be left out. FSU got fucking screwed though. I am a Washington Huskies fan and with the death of the Pac 12 I decided this was my last season. Been going to UW games my whole life. But that was the final straw throwing away 100+ years of tradition for the pursuit of money was it for me.
Georgia lost, but both that game and the Iron Bowl were weird this year. SEC fans were cracking jokes about referees all season long.
FSU, on the other hand? That was pure politics and BS and I've had the same SEC fans cracking jokes about referees tell me that it was because FSU had a "cupcake schedule". Bullshit. ESPN is owned by Disney; you can't tell me that didn't play a small part in this.
This! They have turned it into the NFL minor leagues.
Exactly how I feel about it.
I liked sports because I love numbers, statistics, probabilities, etc. Luckily, that transitioned well into things like election watching.
Sports are the Roman Circus. You give the people a Circus to watch and keep them busy so they stay asleep while you steal the blind. The old slight of hand, look over here and then pick their pockets with the other hand!
And the NFL Is registered as entertainment.
What a statement , hear hear !
Hey lady! Good to "see" ya. Been working way too much so don't get in here nearly as often as I used to. Here's a virtual hug! Hope you're doing well and came out ok in the storm.
