Do you like where the NFL is heading?

It isn't just NIL. Unlimited transfers, eligibility non-requirements, and coference realingment are all gas on the dumpster fire.

How long before the Big 10 is the Enormous 28. I'ma no like it.

Ain't that a fact. The lesser division one schools can't generate enough NIL money from donors to attract players entering the transfer portal. The schools can't directly pay the players, so the money goes into a fund where it then gets dolled out. Some state laws are real murky on how involved schools themselves can get with handing out the money or advertising deals. NIL is the ruin of NCAA sports, the bigger schools will get the best players.

It’s rapidly becoming just a form of semi- pro with the colleges lending their “ brand “ names. When was the last time one can recall a player at a major power 5 university sitting out because of academic insufficiency? The term “ student athlete “ is so ridiculous that it should be done away with IMO. I’m personally not nearly so invested as I once was.

I just want a halftime show whereas I understand the lyrics again.

 

[bojangles808]

a little disappointed. I thought this thread was to complain about the chiefs and how they keep having "titles" handed to them by the league/refs in order to increase marketing for brands who partner with league. glad karma caught up with them.

My teams quarterback sucks so, no, I don't like where the NFL is headed. At least in the short term.

I have not watch the NFL in 5 years, Don't miss it.

 

[Sccritterkiller]

I quit watching the WWNFL a couple season ago...I thought sports betting would bring more honest officiating...boy was I wrong.
The best thing about the NFL and college football is it keeps folks out the woods on Sat and Sundays.
I want to see 8am games on Sat and Sunday...folks are still sneaking out in the mornings.

I don't like where it's headed as I want to see the Packers win every super bowl until I die.

The NFL is technically "Sports Entertainment" Meaning this classification allows the NFL to legally influence game outcomes, similar to the WWE, and can legally fix the outcome of games.

Is The Nfl Licensed As A Sport

The NFL, a major professional sports league in the United States and Canada, is considered a form of sports entertainment, with the primary focus being on competitive sports.

Social Media Debates Whether NFL Is Fixed After Eye-Opening Tweet Provides Proof That It Is (TWEETS)

Fans went nuts after Uber Facts said the NFL can legally fix the outcome of games because they are described as entertainment

www.totalprosports.com

I came to mention this.

I think somewhere along the way the games stopped being games and more like wrestling matches.

It’s like a reality tv show - the game begins with a winner and loser already predetermined but it’s up to the coaches and refs to decide how they arrive there. That keeps it looking real enough.

I know, tinfoil hat and all…

Agree. At my age that may not be too many.

 

[Huntindog45]

I still think Football is one of the greatest sports and the NFL highlights the top 1% of premier athletes in the sport so I still enjoy watching it. I dont love the new kick off, I dont love the way some contact is discouraged but it is still super damn entertaining. That being said I am glad it is baseball season. GO DODGERS!

Honestly, I'd like to see the NFL wind down and see the talent flow to rugby. I know too many ex-NFL players who are starting to show signs of CTE and other health issues. That doesn't account for all the college and high school players walking around with a time bomb in their brains.

I think a lot of Americans could make the transition to watching rugby 11s or 7s, and not only would it spare us the health issues, but the USA would dominate Olympics and World Cup.

Rugby's not perfect, but NFL is a long-term killer.

You can’t seriously be a rugby fan and pretend that CTE isn’t just as prevalent there…

I don't really have an issue with playing a few game over sea, but I would not like to see extending the league to include places like, England, Ireland, Mexico and so on. I think all the air travel would be too hard on the players week after week. I might not have a problem with a team or two in Canada, after all that may be a future state. , ...

A Canadian team or two would be neat. I imagine those would come via expansion instead of relocation which would be preferred. Hate seeing cities lose teams.

Give em a west coast (Vancouver?) and east coast (Toronto?) team. A Canadian team might win the Super Bowl before another Stanley Cup

Games across the pond are whatever to me, definitely wouldn't agree with establishing a team over there though. Keep em within these four time zones.

Within 5 years. They will pick off the top tier schools from the ACC and Big12, make one league.

Pretty much my feeling exactly. A team in Vancouver would be cool. That way I could go to a close by Packer game without getting beat up or have beer thrown at me.

I watch game highlights on YouTube, all the good plays from a game in 10 minutes!

I watched the SB, saw that coming, the Chiefs got away with a lot this year and not just due to the refs!

Just trading fists and beer for hockey sticks and Tim Horton's haha

Would be interesting to see if a Toronto Blue Jays effect happened. If Canada just got one team would those fans flood Seahawks, Packers, Bills, etc. (border adjacent) away games and change the home fan/away fan dynamic? At this point, Blue Jays at Mariners is a home game for Toronto. Nice folks though.

This is the way. I rarely actually watch a game until the playoffs. Many of the games that I do watch are on a phone in a duck blind.

It's hard to flood Packer games as all tickets are held by season ticket holders, me being one of them. There's always some available but the games are mostly Pack fans. I do sell some of my tickets online, but only for a certain price, otherwise they go for face value to family/friends.
