People were already getting tired of pro football, the overly long games with the ridiculous number of penalties and play stoppages, and networks using the games simply as a platform to showcase their shitty tv shows and so-called “personalities.”
The live product is a pain in the ass too, overpriced tickets and concessions, and parking, taking forever to get in and out of the stadiums. It’s not worth it.
These idiots protesting some non-existent cause just serves to grease the skids.
