Absolutely. It looks like the NFL is about to kick up the SJW bit even more.

Gotta make everyone feel special. The league is turning into a political propaganda machine.

Dear NFL, I don't care if a player is gay, black, white or if they identify as a goddamn tree stump. I just want to watch football without hearing about it!!!

So be it. Doesn't bother me. It might weed out mouth breathing, knuckle draggers. Of course, not meaning to demean any of you that may be mouth breathing, knuckle draggers.

:D

I used to eat, drink, and breathe everything Saints and NFL related but life after marriage and mortgage got crazy and my focus has been on many other things.

When I was younger, I could literally recite statistics and rosters from virtually all of the major sports teams. But for those reasons above, especially kids, I've become a very casual sports fan. Even as a hardcore baseball fan, I might not even catch a handful of games on TV anymore. Football on Sundays I don't even care to watch. The NBA has become non-existent. I'll still catch the majority of LSU games football games though.

And honestly, I don't even miss it.

What? My attempt at humor or the reference to it not bothering me? I don't let politics of any nature get in the way of my entertainment.

The NFL has become a soap box for players to air their grievances. It's so bad that I even have a hard time watching my Saints. If I weren't a Saints fanatic I'd give up watching completely.

You probably need to learn to ignore any of it that distracts from your viewing pleasure. You aren't alone, however. Far too many people let politics control their whole lives. All I watch on TV anymore are sporting events and History Channel shows. It's not that news programming upsets me one way or the other, it's just that I don't care one way or another anymore. It no longer bothers me if people are pro this or pro that or anti this or anti that.

I refuse to let any of it get in the way of my enjoyment. I don't know how many more years I'll have on this Earth so in the scheme of things it is all meaningless.
