Years ago I'd be itching for the season to start, just doesn't get me excited like it used to.

Rule changes, political agendas, being screwed out of big games, all have taken their toll I think.

The only reason I had twitter was to keep an eye on Saints news and its just a ****show now, everyone is called a racist for having an opinion that doesn't match other people's. Its just tiring.

Sorry to hear that. Getting screwed hurts, of course, but "**** happens", you know. As for rule changes and politics, rules don't bother me one way or another. As long as both teams have the same ones it's all still NFL football to me. And politics seem to play far too much of a controlling role in people's lives today. I'm sick of politics. Or more precisely I am sick of people complaining about politics. I am ready to identify as apolitical.

So I'm personally someone who has very little political knowledge or interest in it, I think that's why it's disjointed me so much. I honestly feel like I can't look anywhere for NFL news without it being in conjunction with the some political agenda, BLM or otherwise. Its just tiring to me.

I may feel different in a few months, but at the moment I'm leaning towards not spending Sunday nights watching it. In years past, that notion has never even crossed my mind, I've had a gamepass subscription since 2008 and this year is the only one when I've felt indifferent enough to not be bothered about keeping it.
