No, football fans across the board. I’m a Steelers fan and I think it’s silly. My Packers fan co-worker also find it hilarious. My Colts fan boss find it dumb. People don’t care. There’s nothing new about ball manipulation. And also nothing new about nobody getting punished for it:

As both teams dealt with the freezing temperatures, Fox cameras showed sideline attendants using heaters to warm up game balls, which is against league rules.
Zimmer said he hadn’t heard anything from the league about it on Monday, adding, “Somebody told me (Carolina’s) ball boys were doing it.”
The only people who will find it tainted are whiny drama queens who make every HUGH and SERIES. Out here in reality it’s a dumb story to pass the most boring week on the NFL calendar.
Teams should no longer possess footballs on the sidelines. The NFL should be solely in charge of football maintenance.
