Haven't watched the NFL in 3 years.

Used to be very knowledgeable about all the players, past + present.

I could talk shit with anyone about football.

Used to be in multiple big money fantasy football leagues simultaneously.

Not gonna lie, I don't miss it.

Why did I leave?

tbh, Kappa kneeling got me rattled, but researching and learning all day on Sundays was legit making me happier and smarter.

Then all assets deployed, pro sports stars started showing their true colors (ignorance and misallocated loyalty make an ugly color)

Actors, artists, musicians, sports stars, and media pundits have a LOT in common with how they talk and act when they know they have an audience.

I don't watch what used to be my favorite thing on Earth for the same reason I don't watch CNN or awards shows.

If you follow a bull long enough, you'll step in bullshit.

If you step in bullshit and don't clean it off your boots, everyone will smell it.

Influencers shit pretty much constantly and their followers are somehow used to the smell.

Mainstream bulls' shit often smells the same so they hang out together.

It stank so bad I just stopped walking through the cow pasture.

Fuck the NFL. I'd rather play than watch anyways.
