re: Michelle Beadle is done with CFB and the NFL (updated)

This should make her performance as commentator on a sports network better.

I don't agree with her actions at all, but I do agree that Urban is trash. There is no sincerity with him whatsoever.

College football is definitely more corporate these days than it was in the past.

The money the coaches are making, the leagues are making, the tv contracts, the playoffs, the size and niceness of the facilities, the endorsement deals, the media attention, etc.

College football has never been this pure amateur athletic utopia or anything, but there's no denying it has strayed even further away from that supposed ideal than it used to be.

How in the world does it make it "more corporate"?Just because more money from TV is available?

Are CFB stadiums now getting corporate sponsers? Have they renamed the CFB playoffs after a corporate sponser?

It's simply the evolution of the game.Weren't CFB facilities nicer in the 90's than they were in the 70's?Weren't coaches paid more in the 90's than the 70's?

Hell,I remember when the Sugar Bowl changed its name to
the USF&G Sugar Bowl and that was in the 80's.I remember when the Fiesta Bowl changed to the Tostito Fiesta Bowl in the 90's.If it wasn't for CFA the Peach
Bowl probably wouldve gone out of business in the early
90's.

Something tells me ole Beadle used to be able to frick her way through life throughout her 20's and early 30's.

When women like that hit their 40's and realize nobody wants them anymore because the men are now occupied a new batch of 20 year olds skanks, they get bitter.

Goes back to my earlier point, women in the entertainment industry tend to magically discover 'feminism' right about the time they are no longer sexually desirable. Funny how that works isn't it.

She should have yelled that at a dude who likes women

Her employer spends about 65% of its annual budget on NFL and NCAAFB and pays her a small fortune to talk about sports

I don’t disagree with some of her premise when it comes to the NFL. It really is disconcerting to be a woman watching the sport and see a player land a tougher punishment for PEDs or weed than beating the frick out of a woman or kid. And I wish more people would take Goodell to task for it.

And there is absolutely an issue among college athletics as a whole when whole athletic departments turn a blind eye to abuse (see: Michigan State, Penn State).

I just think she misses her mark about making it just about women or people of color. Or boycotting just football as an analyst who covers football (and I don’t blame anyone for calling her on that). We’ve seen children, large groups of children, get abused and covered up for the sake of sports. But make no mistake, we’ve got some issues behind the lights of pro and college sports right now.

Many of you guys happily were bragging about boycotting the NFL because you were mad the players were kneeling.

Yet you same hypocrites are mad Beadle is doing the same thing you did; boycott football.... but just for a different reason?

frick you

Name actual posters who combined those opinions.

I don't give a shite what she does. The NFL is overhyped shite. You can go right ahead and mindlessly swallow whatever shite Madison Avenue jams down your throat.

Go fix me a sandwich, bitch....
