Calamity Kris Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 We were too busy playing games and eating at a neighbor's house. Not that we would anyway but it was certainly more fun than watching football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I no longer watch NFL (“professional”?) football. Not for 3-4 years now. I just said “NO”, with the final straw of that kneeling for the National Anthem crap. The NFL could have gotten them under control but were too cowardly to do so. The NFL could still do it now, but they are still a bunch of cowards. What will be the next outrageous incident that these clowns try to pull off and that the NFL caves in to next? (guessing)Popular player commits a sex crime, the NFL censures the player and then, huge numbers of other players “strike” league-wide in some manner as a show of “solidarity” and of “you ain’t tellin’ US what to do” belligerance? That’s fine, let them do it. They already play to a blank screen at my home. I do believe football should be DROPPED as a high school sport, and that a mandatory 4-year, 1/2-unit or a full-unit class, named “Sports Ethics and Behavior” I, II, III, & IV, be taught at the high-school level, grades 9-12. Why should our K-through-12, government funded school systems pre-train young boys to be pro football players, while thereby ensuring the illiteracy and the corrupt morals of many of them, for the benefit of $$$billion private businesses (pro football teams) and their private, corporate Executive branch, the NFL?

Cat Brules Sorry I don't agree with you. I played high school football (lettered 3 years) and was good enough to EARN a scholarship to play at a major west coast university. I did well and earned a degree that enabled me to become a very successful aerospace engineer. My career spanned the Apollo, Space Shuttle and B2 programs and earned me a very comfortable retirement. Without football, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules I don't think I'd go that far, but if I was King For a Day, I'd instill in people that football is just a GAME. Playing it CAN teach teamwork, strategy, work ethics, and that NOT everybody gets a TROPHY! The schools already aren't teaching students what most of us Old Guys learned there, but if they were to go back to the teaching standards that they had then, a LOT of today's ignorance wouldn't be happening.

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The National Felons League will not grace my TV screen until they *all* stand for the national anthem. I'm intrigued that the professional wrestling owner (who is a huge patriot) is trying to start the Extreme Football League (XFL) again. It failed miserably last time, but with enough folks like me out there, it has a chance of success. He has publicly said that any player who kneels will be fired.

Dantankerous Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 While Friday night football is certainly my preferred sporting event to attend for multiple reasons I recently took in a Saints game in New Orleans at the Superdome. Incredible amount of fun. I have not been to an NFL game since 1984 but am planning on returning to New Orleans to take in another Saints game. The atmosphere is electric and dynamic. The fans incredible! And yes, I watched an NFL game on Thanksgiving. Watched the Saints beat the Falcons. Who dat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry T Harrison Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Sadly the NFL antics have spread to college football. An Ole Miss player cost his team the game when he knelt in the end zone after a score and pretended to urinate like a dog. I hope that his parents and school are proud of him. disgusting.

If I were his coach he would be history And he’ll graduate with a Batchelor’s Degree. Sad. Still I’d like to think he’s the exception. Most of these guys will graduate and go on to decent careers not in the nfl. Only a small percentage will play in the pros. Some of them will turn out okay. Some not.
