I know I’m in the minority but I feel like the NFL will still be enjoyable with this move. I’m sure new rivalries will form so fakkits won’t have to cry anymore over this shyt 
Detroit Lions Propose Playoff Seeding Change

I think out of the four major U.S. sports leagues, the NBA is the one where divisions don’t matter to people as much, as there is more individual star power and that’s how the NBA markets it. It works for the NBA.
I think if you asked your average sports fan to name teams in certain divisions, you’d see people get NFL and MLB teams correct more than the NBA and possibly NHL as they changed divisions not too long ago.
I don’t think divisions matter as much in the NBA as they do in the NFL, especially for a fans perspective.

that's because only 2 things matter in the NBA
1. who won the title
2. God forbid they ever consider a 1 on 1 tournament.
3. who lucked out on lotto night
That's it. Everything else is a colossal waste of time if you seek meaning out of your season
And when two NBA teams in the same division are rivals, it's not because they are in the same division. That happens by chance.
Division rivalries never mattered even when the NBA was at its highest viewership for regular season games
No need to rewrite history

the NBA lacks rivalries, to the detriment of the league. Any rivalry out is really player related and not team related (except for Nico vs. Dallas).Division rivalries never mattered even when the NBA was at its highest viewership for regular season games
I wouldn't model myself after that. The NBA wants to be the Prem League so bad, yet even they have deep rooted rivalries.
If the nba had old division rules the hawks would have a top 4 seed and home court advantage in the first round right now
As long as the nfl guarantees a playoff spot for division winners it shouldn’t affect rivalries at all
I didn't even realize the Lions proposed getting rid of automatic first downs for defensive penalties.
Embarrassing.

So why not get rid of divisions at this point then? If it’s an embarrassment

This. Why are Lions complaining?the lions were literally number 1...bye week and all and they lost to a 6th seed
i dont want hear shyt about what they want to propose
Tryna protect that bust Terrion Arnold.
Tryna protect that bust Terrion Arnold.
Carlton Davis doesn't need protection.
.He has arguably the best CB in the NFL alongside him.
Is this supposed to be a threat
Bruh I personally don't give a fukk if they were to eliminate them all together... Teams have already changed divisions in the past...the fukking Cardinals used to be in the NFC East...nobody cared when they left lmao... If you want you can toss them shyts in the bushes and keep protected “rivalries” in your schedule.… but at the very least if you're going to keep divisions you cannot reward mediocrity through seeding.… guaranteed playoff entry for the winner should be enough to keep the divisions relevant
