I remember when they were doing the kneeling and some here were claiming the NFL was going to go broke. LOL. Bread and Circuses. People will put up with anything so long as they have their precious football games to watch.

Yep, I’m so glad I don’t need that rubbish in my life.

I am in the minority—but my boycott of the National Felon League remains in place.

I like who is looking back at me in the mirror.

I’ve said before a lot of the popularity of the NFL has to do with gambling, it’s easy to understand the point spreads and under/over lines, the games are primarily played on Sunday and Sports Gambling is legal everywhere now, some states have adopted more liberal laws others just getting to it, Florida just allowed the Seminole Indian Tribe who controls the casinos in Florida to offer sports gambling in the state, I know a number of people who downloaded their app on their phones are regular gamblers on Sports.
