Newsflash: sports are soap operas for men, and are essentially reality tv shows

Funny thing is, I still watch the games but could not really tell you much about the “Antonio Brown saga” if you put a gun to my head.

Amazing the OP doesn't get this.

Yeah and 20 years ago, people complained and said the same thing about 40 years ago.

It's funny how people who claim to hate drama are the most dramatic. Always better somewhere or sometime else.

So many people love their breads and circuses. Roman elites were on to something.

That your choice which you are entitled to but I mean, there’s 1600+ players in the league. A handful of them cutting up isn’t gonna stop me from watching

NFL is a much, much better product than the NCAA is right now. But you keep doing you

That’s because FSU is in the toilet. FSU fans are some of the biggest front runners in college.

All professional sports have turned to 30% play 70% drama, with a lot of the drama about multimillionaires complaining about not be larger multimillionaires.

Completely out of touch with the fans. And people wonder why attendance is trending downward.
