It can fold if it screws up badly enough or if people decide they hate it (easiest way is to make people doubt the fairness of games, with bad refs and bad rules, a policy I feel like they're pursuing).


It's bad. The games are something to be endured. I have a pretty good attention span but I have to have something else going on if a football game is on. Nobody loved football more than I did but I can't sit through the same fucking ad for four hours. I can't accomplish the things I want to accomplish in life when my team plays on one of four days and the quality for any of the teams playing on one of them (Thursday) is uniquely terrible in all of sports. I've paid to see a go-nowhere basketball team shrug their way up and down the court in mid-February. It's terrible. But that's every week for every team in the Thursday games.

Who is watching a game without clicking around due to the incessant advertising? It's the SAME GODDAMN TRUCK AD. Touchdown, review, commercial. Extra point, commercial. Kickoff, touchback, commercial. And then god forbid the half ends or somebody calls a timeout. A few years ago my coach was suspended for an entire season, along with good players and our GM for a few games. And for what? Goodell never presented any evidence, in fact, Tagliabue had to come in to clean up his mess. Take my fanship out of it: there are fans that hate the NFL (not football, just the NFL) for what they did to the Saints. There are fans that hate the NFL (Vikings, mostly) who think they got "cheated" out of something because of the bullshit the league attached to the games. Guys making literally millions may or may not have gotten $100 to hit someone hard, oh, and every opposing QB finished their game. Who would support a league where a random team is picked to be made an example of because they wanted to pay the men whose brains they knowingly injured less than they otherwise would have? Who would support a league gladly giving second chances to rapists and serial assaulters while blacklisting a guy that thinks that the amount of unarmed black men getting executed by cops in this country is a tad bit high?

Kaep is the most hated man I've ever seen play the game. Idiots attach some link to the "National Anthem" to "Respecting the Troops," they made that up in their head by themselves. I'm glad Kaepernick did it. It was the single most peaceful way he could have revealed what indisputably, irredeemably horrible people the owners are. Football is a genuinely good game, the fact that these disgusting leeches are attached to it, sucking the money out of our cities to fund stadiums for all of 20 years, pretending that certain portions of their business were "non-profit" for as long as they could. When the season starts, check out how much truly terrible quarterback play there is creating unwatchable games and know that they blacklisted a guy who could play. They will collectively let the quality of play suffer to placate troglodytes. I don't care for them!!

This post is going to look real bad when Kaep gets signed by Jacksonville on Tuesday. =(
