And I’m watching less and less.
Two problem areas.
The first problem area is the disrespect shown by the nfl to the National Anthem and this country. Pathetic. Those who have served in the armed forces deserve much better. The kneelers need to take their skill sets to that imaginary country where they think they would be so much better off. I understand that the players have the right to be disrespectful to this country and to the those who have died in service to this country – but it should not be on company time, nor should it be on my time.
Never had a job where I would have felt that it was acceptable to confront the consumer with my political views or to otherwise conduct myself in a manner that reflected poorly upon my employer.
The nfl has the right to take corrective action; instead the nfl condones it, becomes a participant in it.
The second problem area is the increase in vulgar/offensive touchdown celebrations. I’m not a prude. You can see worse things elsewhere if you look for them, and sometimes even if you don’t. But, I don’t choose to invite that garbage into my home. Looks like the nfl is going X-rated.
I think it was last week when Ingram celebrated by grabbing his crotch and holding the pose for an extended amount of time. He gets a 15 yard penalty for his team; big deterrent.
Sunday, don’t remember the team or player, the player celebrated seemingly by mocking a dog lifting his hind leg and urinating. Really? Another 15 yard penalty; yep, that’s obviously slowing them down. Shortly after that display I saw the reports of so many players disrespecting this country that I gave up watching pro football for the rest of the day. Going forward, my viewership will be greatly reduced, though I will try to keep up with Dak and the MSU guys.
I’d love to watch pro football regularly, but I’m about ready to give it up until/unless the nfl gets back to being about the football.
Now having said that, I realize that the nfl can get along without me. And that their sponsors can get along without me.
And they probably will.
