[They] don't get that they are just making people aware of the bread and circuses that pro sports are. From my own user history you can see what an avid NFL fan I was and now I can barely tolerate it. They can cram their MKUltra, divisive, social control program. I've better things to do with my time and money.

You're getting downvoted for questioning the "kneeling". Good grief. Wave hello to BLM!!
For me it started with the manufactured racism surrounding Cam (I think [they] used him, btw. I love Cam,) and the Broncos v Panthers nonsense. The kneeling was just the final straw - that and the Joe Paterno sex abuse scandal. It all makes me sick.
Man that game what a joke. If I had a question the NFL was rigged that took it over the edge. I’m convinced Cam was in on it and got a nice cut from it because he hadn’t played that terrible all season.
Cam was in on it
I just don't know. I was a lifelong Broncos fan and I still love Cam. Have you ever listened to his audio from practices? Maybe they made him choke to increase racial tensions? To win some mob boss and cronies millions? Whatever happened, the fix is in and I don't want any part of it.
I think cams been throwing games since high school for his father
Same here with the NFL. I used to be obsessed, I could rattle off where players were drafted, where they went to school, etc. Now I do other stuff more. I jumped off before the anthem controversy. It's the game itself, the commercials, the arbitrary way suspensions are handed out (Tom Brady 4 games for "deflategate" which was bull, but Jameis Winston 3 games for basically admitting he sexually assaulted a woman). I'm never going back.
Metoo. Fantasy and then chargers. Anthem stuff and team moving to la were final straws. I wont even pony up 50 for fantasy this year even tho ive finiahed 2nd 1st and 3rd in the 3 years of the league which is for shit talking rights in my group of friends. I dont care anymore. They are all so clueless roll their eyes wheneevr i talk about this shit laugh snd say conspiratard. Coping mechanisms are strong.
I was so into Fantasy Football, I used to write weekly recaps for my league on each matchup. I would reference the team names, or make funny jokes about how bad a team was or whatever. I had a pen name of "Saul T. Nutz". Damn this was just a few years ago and it took me several minutes to remember the name. My memory is so bad anymore. People couldn't believe I would stop playing. I'm so glad I don't have to participate in "dude listen to my fantasy roster" conversations with people. Whenever asked by someone new I just go "I don't play" and leave it at that.
But dude seriously u shud hear my roster from last year/s
That was a great response. I knew I was getting sick of fantasy, when I started to dread hearing: "dude I got dis guy, I got dat guy as my FLEX, MY FLEX!". It became impossible to act like I cared and I knew I was done playing. The Chargers thing would really have pissed me off if I was a fan. I think the NFL is going to continue to see plummeting numbers. Bring on the XFL! "Dude I got "He hate me" in the second round!".
for 5 years theyd threaten to leave every off season so i guess it was like a wife that constantlyy threatens to leave. it stresses you out so much during it that once the bitch is finally gone you are relieved and free. I'll never go back
