I'm too old. I'm so old that I could watch a bunch of sweating Nords wrestling on my iPhone and no one would care.

None of you have asked the pertinent question about "my team"......
[–] theamazingbyron 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago
I'm at about that point as well. I used to enjoy the strategy and the athleticism of people who dedicated themselves to becoming good at a sport. Now, it might as well be a soap opera to me.

American Football is a great game. There is strategy....planning...control.
...but all these dumb niggers have ruined it.
[–] RedditCEOEllenPao ago
So just watch the game itself. The niggers are just the pieces on the boards, it's the white guys with headsets telling them how to execute.

Exactly. Like any good sport, you have multiple levels of strategy at play. In the recent years the emphasis on "being tough" and "getting respect" on the football field have significantly reduced the game to nothing more than a professional wrestling match.

Pro athletes never have and never will care about you buddy. I would venture to guess that not many people in this world do. Go write in your diary about how your whole life is turned upside down by some people kneeling.

They don't care about us, but they do care about their paychecks. Write your local TV stations, return anything you have that you can that's NFL branded.
[–] leahbettsisdead 1 point -1 points 0 points (+0|-1) ago
Pro athletes have contracts with the team, not TV stations. There is nothing even close in terms of ratings to replace the NFL on TV so that will never happen. Returning NFL branded things will mainly hurt the NFL and not any players. Their paychecks are safe as long as they contribute to winning. As does Donald, the NFL puts a premium on winning.

That would be showing hatred. Why be so emotional? The opposite of LOVE is not HATE. ....it's indifference.

Pro athletes don't care about anything buddy. Including you painting your chest and chimping it up at the games.
[–] leahbettsisdead 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
They don't care about anything? They just happened to become one of the premiere athletes in the world without a care?
This isn't that matrix guy. They don't just download skills. Care is a crucial element of developing talent.

Good point. Both of you. But I stopped watching/following all pro sports right after the OJ trial.
....n O J ustice...no peace.

Fuck football! I went to school in green bay, the dark, pulsating heart of packerstan. And I moved there one day too late to vote against paying for the new stadium. Why the fuck should the people of the city buy them a place to throw a ball around in? Let the fans pay for it through admissions. Let the overpaid oafs that spend their lives chucking a ball around in between concussions pay for the damn stadium. quit picking my pocket.
Fucking football cult.

No taxpayer funded anything is ever economically beneficial, unless it's a necessity, like roads. Every time they do a stadium/economic cost-benefit analysis, it has a negative effect.
Which pisses me off even more about these players bc their salaries would not be anything approaching what they are now w/o having that. High end welfare recipients, just like their common brethren.
[–] TimberWolfAlpha 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
those venues for the olympics are multipurpose though, and could concievably be used by other parties after the olympics. The packers stadium is just for the packers. Any "economic benefit" is also being weighed against the fact that when there's a game on, Highway 41 leading into/out of green bay becomes a nightmare parking lot if you're going with the flow of fans. I'd take a packer-less economy if it meant I didn't have to sit in traffic.

The hilarious thing about that vote was that there was a referendum at about the same time to increase funding for the school system (or something to that effect, I was way too young to vote or to know precisely), which didn't pass.
That made the "tell them you voted yes" signs on one of their buildings, featuring some kids, all the more ironic.
