You can either accept it or choose to stop watching.
I think this is the effect of it changing. Football is on pace for a slow death, nfl ratings are down, college football ratings down, attendance is down. People are choosing not to watch soft, quitting, divas.

Cute narrative, but wrong on all counts:
NFL ratings are up 17% this year
NFL viewership up
College football ratings have held steady. For example, SEC Championship this year was just over 15M viewers. Ten years ago, it got 16M. Not exactly plummeting.
Attendance is a different story and I don’t think tied to “not watching divas” since digital viewing isn’t declining. Ticket costs are up, getting to and parking on campus is a nightmare, TV offerings have gotten better and faster relative to going to games in person.
Simply put, the TV numbers support that fans still watch, they just don’t do it in person because I’m 2021 they no longer have to fight the hassle in order to see their team.
