You're overstating it, but that's likely a major influence to all the rule changes that have hurt the quality of the league too. Trying to appeal to degenerate gamblers and the fantasy football crowd. Never saw the appeal in the game.
This. When they started rocking pink for breast cancer awarness, started soldier sniffing, and started pandering to women with their faux outrage with domestic violence is when the NFL started to fall off.
Goddamnit! Where's the rep function when we need it. I get SICK of broadcasters and pundits trash black QB's but don't say shyt about the white one that are straight
. I used to get so sick of Trent Dildo acting like he was Joe Montana on that Ravens squad when in reality, it was Jamal Lewis and that HOF defense that won that Super Bowl. All he had to do was not fukk up and keep drives alive.
All while trying to bury the evidence of brain damage and football while trying to extend the season and take a larger cut of money from the players and jumping at the chance to suspend them for anything and everything too
Breh, it seemed like every week somebody was getting suspended for some bullshyt, especially for violating the substance abuse policy. First thing I would think would be roids or other PEDs but it would almost always turn out to be weed
. It's cool to get this guys hooked on all kinds of painkillers, but if they burn a spliff it like they punched a damn baby. You gotta be a damn fool think there ain't dudes in the NHL, NBA, MLB, and PGA that cheef, but out of all the shyt the NFL gets away with, smoking weed is like murder.
And the NBA isn't? All the major sports league are ran by dudes on that
status. For me I have mixed feelings about the league. On one hand I enojoy seeing the hits and raw feats of athleticism and great throws from QBs under pressure but on the other the seersucker n' boatshoes management structure and protection of "the faces" of the league get on my nerves. Construction workers destroy their bodies for a lot less but none of us are about to boycott structures are we? We straigh take oil from foreign countries but none of us are going to stop using oil products like gasoline are we? I will probably continue to hate-watch the teams I don't like and hope my dude Rg3sus can make an epic comeback.
