re: Has anyone else lost interest in college football?

Pro and college watching has seriously dropped off for me. It helped when our team went sjw and decided they couldn't play because the state flag was offensive. Meanwhile, their high school buddies have zero issue playing as "rebels"

The original post asked if anyone else felt like the OP. Posters respond, and since you have a different opinion, you attack other posters. Says much more about you. You do you, it makes the world go around. But, there are a LOT of formerly passionate fans/graduates that are adults in the room and can't stand the direction of the education system in this country. It's pretty clear where you stand, and that's fine, but you are so typical of the Left. Don't agree with someone, attack them if they have a different opinion/belief.

I enjoy tailgating and attending games with my family. I also like watching at home with the kids and getting their questions and seeing how they are learning the game. I am sick and tired of not being able to watch a game, whether it be a college football game, World Series game, or any other sporting event without being bombarded with commercials featuring same sex relationships...rocket mortgage is one and there are many others. So what you have is either you don’t watch and don’t let your kids watch and take away a big piece that drives their interest in sports (I’ve got male children), or they watch and this garbage is continually pushed and normalized as mainstream behavior.

I would hope. It's meant to. Attacking and depriving yourself of a sport you once loved because someone has a different opinion says a little something too, though. If that makes you an adult, I'll just keep being a child I guess.

Hell no. I skipped the 2020 season because it was lame watching conference-only games with no crowds.

Enjoyed it since then, especially with the SEC Shorts delivering every week. (That Tennessee fan haunted house one didn’t age well )

Go Dawgs!

clearly you have no clue what you are talking about. It's not a boycott. It's a different view on what's important in life.

This, I 100% believe.

I grew up watching games with my father, as big an Auburn fan as I've ever met. I saw a lot of great games at Jordan Hare. I remember the way the ROTC drill fields that used to be across from the stadium were a sea of tailgaters when I was in school. You could park just about anywhere and walk to the stadium. Games were affordable and the SEC schedule was all in a day's drive.

I still watch for the relationship with my father and habit, that's it. You have to shell out a fortune just to get on a list to buy a season ticket. Tailgating has practically been pushed out of the city limits if you don't buy a third party package of some sort. Auburn has transformed from an everyman kind of town into a boutique-riddled knockoff of a typical Atlanta suburb. NIL is turning guys who are already treated like kings on campus into overnight millionaires. The transfer portal has turned every team into a potential powder-keg of selfish malcontents. It hasn't really been politics for me, it's just the game losing what made it special and becoming another cash grab in a soulless culture full of them.

Look man, if your interest is down because you've just moved on or your team happens to be shitty, I get it. I don't view CFB the same way I did as a student. Letting idiots drive your behaviors and preferences just isn't something I'd admit even if it were true. You think I'm reminiscing about the BLM commercial from the LSU game? You couldn't time this thread more poorly if you tried.

I lost interest in 20 and 21.

But I've regained some this season.
