Season over before it starts

WillMacKenzie · 06-24-2020, 05:16 PM

I didn't watch a single game two years ago, I won't again this year. It wasn't so bad, I watched college football. (and I'll stop even watching that if I have to)

There's a difference between sports and entertainment, by the way. One promises fair, unbiased contests in which the outcome is dictated by skill and preparation.

The other promises only the appearance of those ideals, but ultimately, operate only for maximum drama and profit.

So what does winning even matter if there's nothing real at stake?

I personally don't find it entertaining or enjoyable to be lectured about what I should be doing and what a piece of trash my country is and how I need to apologize for something somebody who looks like me did to do to someone who looks like him.

People can do what they want, but I can see how one would have to keep telling themselves it's only entertainment to chase away their own objections like a chaser after a teaspoon of harsh medicine.

Bye, bye! I enjoy the NFL as a game. Entertainment. If you can't handle that then by all means stop watching. You really won't be missed.

Your problem is truly elsewhere.

Edit: Why are you even still posting football related posting if you gave up on it two years ago? I have a feeling you are full of crap and had indeed watched games.

Oh, 19-0 Baby!
