It wouldn’t shock me to find out the NFL is setting the cards up to fall how they want, especially now that gambling is a legal part of it, but there is absolutely zero chance that Jerry Jones and the other NFL owners are doing it to get Biden reelected or anything else besides a shit load of money. Which, Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl will certainly help them do even more than they already were going to. It’s always so weird that they never see the simplest explanation that’s always right in front of them, money and therefore power
I'm absolutely sick of all the gambling ads, and while it isn't NFL, fucking Manfred has ruined the beauty of classic uniforms like the Cardinals and Yankees by slapping ads in them. I am sick of all these ads and money ruining all my favorite sports.
I stopped eatching the NFL after Kroneke absolutely fucked St. Louis and I think i am about to be completely done with college football with the way things are going there as well. I hate watching capitalism take down everything i love with it
Cfb has always been my primary obsession in the sports world, only pay attention to the NFL for fantasy and small talk points. But you’re right all of the things that made me love it are being ruined by capitalism
US rugby, my friend. It's the last bastion.
Until people start watching it. Any significant concentration of eyes will spawn ads.
Ramsfugees are always welcome on the chiefs bandwagon. The overwhelming attitude was always fuck kroenke. I'm not a Missourian anymore but Midwestern rams fans always get a free pass to bandwagon wherever they want imo.
If you're looking for unique ownership, the Packers are probably the best example of that. I've always been jealous of their ownership model.
I mean, obviously, unbridled capitalism is destroying everything because a "constant growth mindset" is just "cancer" with bonus words, but don't let it steal your joy too.
I wasn't willing to be a Chiefs fan when i lived in KC during the Matt Cassell years, so i wont bandwagon on now. Baseball will always be my true love, but i am enjoying my local ECHL hockey team in the winter. Go Walleye!
I like how you casually drop a ridiculous conspiracy at the top. Just how exactly would the rigging work? Are all the owners in on it? The players too? The refs? Vendors? What about Kapernick? Is he in on it too? Maybe I am in in it too?
The officiating has been historically terrible this year. Multiple game deciding calls were missed or wrongly made.
If you want to decide games to ensure that the spread does/doesn't hit then you just need to throw in a few pass interference penalties or holding calls. Aka, the most inconsistently applied and most subjective calls in sports
