my interest has waned for a variety of reasons, many of them stated, but yea, the NFL is a fukk ass organization, the players are exploited c00ns and weak minded, the slow play, stupid reffing, commercials, etc. Plus like others, I'm older, got too many responsibilities to be wasting an entire day on football, let alone weekends feel short as fukk now, I'm not wasting 1/2 of it sitting in the house
Yes it has fell off....
Too many overrated cac QBs that always get jobs (Tolzien, Hoyer, Gabbert, Bortles, McCown, Weeden, etc.) but teams won't even give Kaep a job.
Bad officiating...come shyt is too blatant.
Bad games on prime time sometimes
No need to hose ur entire Sundays and Monday night for every game...then now we got TNF.

I don't buy the "I am getting older and have more responsibilities" argument though
Yes - for individuals like you and me, that is definitely the case. But from the NFL's perspective, that should constantly be a significant portion of their fanbase. When the game was BLOWING UP in the earlier years of this decade, millennials (the largest media consuming generation) were graduating, getting jobs, getting married, starting families, etc. In the 90s, the game started to overtake baseball, and the generations before millennials were doing the same things. Regardless of how you slice it, "I'm busy now" might be true for YOU, but it's been true of the same portion of their fanbase (if not more) than it's always been, so it's not the problem the NFL is facing, nor can they do a god damn thing about that for folks who do fall in that bucket.

Exactly. Casuals don't know what the fukk they're talking about. Every weight class is sprinkled with talent these days
My favorites these days are Naoya Inoue, Jermall Charlo, GGG, and the home town bruiser Terrance Crawford
We've had some really great fights recently, like Ward vs Kovalev and Joshua vs Klitschko

I like to check in To see who is doing well, and root for some black qbs and receivers (my fav position) but ultimately I don't care that much. It's just something to entertain when the NBA isn't on.

Simply not enough GREAT teams. Cowboys and Raiders resurging is gonna do a lot for the entertainment of the league.
Nfl and football is still great(best sport there is imo) the broadcast is the problem. They draw out 30 min of on field play in 3+ hours. Commercial 's every couple mins it seems. Shyts rediculous. Its always been that way the problem now is with full game highlights and condensed versions of the game theres no way I'm sitting here for 3 hours to watch a game I can watch hours later for 30 min(condensed) or 10 min full game highlights.
Technology has surpassed traditional sports broadcasting. I feel the same way about B-ball although the nature of the game seems like less stops.

NBA stans are funny.
the 1% are getting richer. You're all being exploited
and the NBA has a players union because the NBA is all about generosity, no lockouts
. NBA would love to exploit their players, but the union prevented that. Let's give them credit. The NFL is fukk ass, and yet the NBA allowed this guy to own a team for yearsIn February 2003, the Housing Rights Center of Los Angeles filed a housing discrimination case against Sterling on behalf of 18 tenants. The lawsuit featured several racist statements allegedly made by Sterling to employees, such as that "black people smell and attract vermin" and "hispanics just smoke and hang around the building" as well as Sterling's alleged intent to rent only to Korean tenants because "they will pay the rent and live in whatever conditions I give them". Part of the HRC case's resolution included U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer awarding the plaintiffs' attorney $4.9 million in attorneys fees. While the final terms for the plaintiffs were confidential, the judge said the fees were justified as the settlement obtained by the plaintiffs against Sterling was one of the largest of its kind and the public benefit terms were significant and wide-ranging.
In 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice then sued Sterling for housing discrimination for using race as a factor in filling some of his apartment buildings. The suit charged that Sterling refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood and to African Americans in Beverly Hills.[101] In November 2009, ESPN reported that Sterling agreed to pay a fine of $2.7 million to settle claims brought by the Justice Department and Davin Day of Newport Beach[citation needed] that Sterling engaged in discriminatory rental practices against Hispanics, blacks, and families with children.[102]
In February 2009, Sterling was sued by former longtime Clippers executive Elgin Baylor for employment discrimination on the basis of age and race.[103] The lawsuit alleged that Sterling told Baylor that he wanted to fill his team with "poor black boys from the South and a white head coach".[101] The plaintiffs alleged that during negotiations for Danny Manning, Sterling said "I'm offering a lot of money for a poor black kid".[101][104] The suit also alleged that "the Caucasian head coachwas given a four-year, $22-million contract" while Baylor's salary had "been frozen at a comparatively paltry $350,000 since 2003".[103]

don't get it twisted. The NBA would love to run their league like the NFL. It's all about business at the end of the day.
