I want to walk away from the NFL but in doing so that means walking away from the Saints..

This is why it’s so difficult. When they threatened to leave New Orleans I tried to leave the saints behind... Didn’t want to be emotionally attached, but I couldn’t do it.
The bottom line is this league is about profit not competition. The competition is merely a function of the profit motive. They are selling a product and the product is actually pride and transcendence.
I have pride in something bigger than myself. It’s a neurological hormone they are selling and I am addicted. Maybe It’s how we are hard wired as human beings.
Personally, I believe the truth in many ways is we replace God with The transcendent connection with sports today. We need him, but we don’t want him, so we substitute him.
I am going to walk away again, tough thing to do but I am tired of the cheap alternatives where there is no justice or fulfillment.
Pretty sure this is a good thing. I realize I will probably get downvoted but file this post away and when something similar happens maybe it will be enough for you to do the same. ???????

NFL has people right where they want them. They know damn good and well people are not walking away.

I have begun the process of walking away.
I wrote myself a letter.
No fantasy football next year
No watching of games unless it involves the Saints.
These two things will begin the process.
Then if the Saints have a bad season a few years from now it will be easier to ignore the NFL.

I understand your emotions. I did not sleep last night.
I hope exhaustion kicks in soon for me.
I despise the NFL but will always applaud the effort of our team and coaches.
I no longer lay blame with the Saints coaches and players.
It has become painfully obvious the type of handicaps the team has had to overcome.

Just quit watching every other game that the Saints don't play in. It is not that hard.

I'll support the saints, but I'm tearing off any NFL logos and defacing it when I see it

I'm done with it.... I'm 53 same as the sb.... Born in 66 same as the saints.... Dont matter.... Done with it

I only watch saints games and most of them I streamed from reddit streams.
Posted on 1/21/19 at 5:35 pm to LAfootballDude
I’ll follow the Saints and keep up with the scores but I’m done watching

I’m walking away from pro sports after yesterday. I can watch scripted sports entertainment every Monday and Tuesday night without the high blood pressure.

It's very difficult to be a fan of a game that has important rules that must be officiated and applied, when the game has yet to find a way to apply those rules in a consistent manner from game to game and even from play to play.
Would you be a fan of Chess if the rules could change during the game?

If you realize it's not a sport anymore. You'll be happier and better off.
