I quit watching because of the tiresome display of America hating BLM supporting racist players. I missed it a lot. The only thing is, now when I attempt to watch, I quickly lose interest. The thrill is gone, it is like a 57 year fad is now over. The game just does not “have IT” any longer for me. That is the risk when Coke comes out with a new recipe, or the NFL decides to place a woman on every sideline, have grown men wear pink, treat 25 year old men like 8 year olds with concussion protocols and rules making contact abhorrent, get rid of kickoff return opportunities, no contact practices, , salary caps so a great team can turn into a loser in a few years, part time referees, horrible announcers, too many commercials, and so called music in the Stadiums and in promos that offends the ear.
I am with you. I enjoy the game and the unadulterated athleticism. When they are on their feet, they are beasts.
I still thrill to the skill. I was never that good but wished I was.
I don’t like the wussification,but the games can still be good.
In the playoffs, it’s the best of the year.
