The NFL, Kneeling, Ratings, and the Flag

I stopped watching the NFL when they started dancing in the end zoneā¦and when I realized I was wasting a day off sitting on my ass.
But I will sit on my ass for hockey. And I enjoyed watching the Yankees get their asses handed to them in the World Series.

Truth be - told , I was sort of hoping the east coast would beat the left coast in this years fall classic.

Freddie raked the Yankees. I despise the Yankees and don't like the Dodgers either, but Freeman is a favorite of mine. I hope he returns to the Braves where he belongs.

Yeah, Dale Murphy was my favorite player BITD.
Murphy, Horner, Rafael Ramirez...They used to lose a lot back in those days but I still loved them. Then came Glavine, Smoltz and Maddux and the World Series.

I champion greatness. I respect sports dynasties. I pulled for the Chicago Bulls, rooted for the Yankees in the Jeeter days, and cheered for Tom Brady louder than anyone in Minnesota. But I despise the Eagles and their douchbaggery fandom almost as much as I loathe Patrick Mahomes and the Kelsey/Swift side show. With no rooting interest in this game, I may literally skip it this year and watch a movie.
To add: I won't go so far as to say that the NFL is rigged/fixed, but I will say that there is indisputable video evidence , especially this season, that certain teams (talking to you KC Chiefs) have gotten ridiculous calls that absolutely influenced the game. When you have literal legends like Troy Aikman and Tom Brady calling out the NFL, you have a problem. I have a quarter that this will be the lowest rated Super Bowl in decades.

This is the super bowl no one wanted, and I would not be surprised if the viewership takes a dive.
I do not like both teams; the "Iggles" because they and their fans are douchebags; the Chiefs because they have been anointed by the NFL to be the Gold Child and have home cooking by the refs.
Roger Goodell has made the NFL a ton of money, but has ruined the game in the process. Just when I think I might miss the game, I'll see another round of "WTF" calls by the refs or questionable rule changes and remember why I left the NFL behind. It is a shit organization with a brilliant product owned and managed by trash ass human beings.

We almost saw our first penalty touch down this weekend and I would have gone ballistic...
BTW, I'm from Philly and I can give 2 fucks that the Eagles won.
It's bread and circus. I get absolutely tourqed when my pops calls me, talking about the game. I think partly, he does it because he's bored and partly because he knows it riles me up.....

KC wins the stuperbowl unless they totally melt down.
The narrative all year has been three-peat.
