What is the real reason football is under attack in the media?

Just today Bob Costas was piling on.

Money to be made from CTE?
Anger because it is a sport women can’t play?
Something else?

I don't know, but the media sure has herded the MSB sheep quite easily.

In the long run the media won't frick with the NFL. It isn't good for their bottom line.

In short spurts of chaos sure.

They're just trying to capitalize on some turmoil and get ratings.

That's all.

Because society is over the brutishness.

Or at least the media thinks it is or should be.

It's part of the Europeanization of America. For the last 8-10 years we've heard "why can't the U.S. be more like Europe? Look at Europe's healthcare system, look at Europe's green energy system, Europe this and Europe that.". Not to get too crazy but it's almost like a New World Order initiative where we are all the same. It's damn near communist.

Americans love to fight. Football is like a war played out on a gridiron. Can't have any of that. Need to be more civil, like Europe.

It's part of the systematic breakdown of the fabric of this country.

Either that or it's this country's tendency to break down anything that is too big.

Idgaf. Soccer is great. It’s physical but obviously not as physical.

I only care about football now for sentimental reasons.

I’m way more into the skill of soccer these days.

Bob Costas is a grade A hack. Will never forget when he called a prime time game a few years back he opened with a gun control soap box (Sandy Hook?). Never liked the guys before or since.

Only the NFL could find a way to unite these groups in boycotts.

Roger Goodells ridiculous power trips and over the top punishments (bounty gate, deflate gate, ray rice, this Zeke nonsense) really cast a bad light on the league for no reason. It all seems so self inflicted by just giving the media fodder.

Just handling these things internally in a normal way, not trying to change public image or take a stance on a social justice issue and none of this is even an issue.

The Kaep situation is something else that should’ve been dealt with instantly and under the table as well.

People watch the NFL to freaking watch football, not to constantly hear about scandals on the news for weeks on end

Because dickless journalists will take revenge for being duct-taped into their high school locker when they can.
