SoCal Deek Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The league is definitely evolving into the NBA on turf. Lots of showboating and fouls on virtually every play. It’s obvious to anyone who watches. Now, you either like it or not but it’s undeniable. I happen to be in the OPs court, and I place most of it on the leadership of Goodell.

Mickey Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think the beauty of the game was ruined when they started wearing helmets. And don't get me started about the forward pass (newfangled bs if ever there was bs). If I wasn't busy cursing the neighbor's kids for playing in my yard the "new" NFL would really get me steamed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Revenue is up because it's not longer just America anymore, it's global. Like no one in America gives a crap about the NBA, it's all China. The NFL is doing the same thing. That's why a company like Nike hires Kaep for a huge marketing campaign. Nike doesn't care that 50% or more of Americans will be offended because they aren't targeting Americans. Nike wants to appeal to Europe and the Chinese and the best way to do that is with someone who speaks poorly of America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve O Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I hate that they still get things wrong after stopping the game for several minutes for a replay review. When I'm commissioner, first thing I'm going to do is make all replays at game speed. No slow down/frame by frame close up, if you can't overturn it in real time then it is not irrefutable. Next, I'll live in something besides a 1 bedroom condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV ratings are up huge in the last couple years. Do you think the Neilson ratings track China? Over 50% of America is offended by Kaep? Well under 50% of America even knows who Kap is at all let alone is offended by him. Get our of your bubble and take off your tin hat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you assumed he is white when he gave no indication to his race or heritage. It's funny that people will bite your head of for stereotyping pretty much any group unless you are applying a negative stereotype to a white man. Because we all know how most white men are evil, racist monsters. Edited December 7, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a sad ending for those of us that love the game. Yeah, absolutely. If it were not for Fantasy sports, my interest and watching NFL games would drop significantly. If one of these new leagues can compete and take over the NFL then I'd be ok with that. Add to it the Players Union, Agents and Managers who watered down the game through greed. It's time to put an end to contracts that are guaranteed and don't provide an incentive for the employee to work. The prima-donna athlete needs to be put to rest.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The main reason many young white people are quick to criticize their own race, is because they are trying to prove their worthiness to the social group they want to fit into, not because of there moral virtue. They are mostly fake hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanNH Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 3 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: Describe said "street thugs" “Street thug” imo a bad term.. I’d use men who have poor control over their anger.. see Hunt, Kareem for an example. I mean I saw a former player saying repeatedly how “it’s hard for a man to walk away” no it isn’t. It’s hard for them not normal men to walk away especially if it’s a woman.. (And I would say it’s only like 20 or 30% who have the issue but definitely hire than normal life) 2 hours ago, blitzboy54 said: You mean black people.

I agree he used poor wording but street thug can be white,black, Asian or any ethnicity.. that’s a way a person acts! Sadly more African Americans grow up in the Ghettoes so more of them get associated with street thug.. but they are hardly the only thugs.. (see Mob, Italian also known as Mafia.. that has many street thugs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
