Today’s NFL is like watching a never ending soap opera. A bunch of highly paid hoodlums and other misfits of society running off their mouths about issues on and off the field that have nothing to do with the sport. If I want editorial commentary I can go to “Meet the Depressed”. It’s a circus and the clowns have taken charge.
The reality is fans, like me, are turning away from professional (paid) football to other sources of entertainment, like college football, local soccer leagues, semi-pro baseball, etc. where profit is not the only motive.
In Texas we have our “Friday Night Heroes” if we need a weekly fix. Tickets are cheap, parking is free, and you can bring your own cooler full of concessions. Kick back and enjoy the game. Let the kids run loose. Local law enforcement personnel are on duty in case things get out of hand. What’s not to like.
So the TV ratings are down. Just wait for the paid attendance and endorsement figures. Jerry Jones and his sidekick, Howdy Doody, may wake up and find themselves selling used cars someday.
Howdy Doody! LOL!
