Comment on 2025 NFL Season 🏈 Weekly Discussion Thread – Week 3 in ~sports.american_football
Wafik Link ParentFair and also, every sports franchise is owned by billionaires, so it would be impossible to enjoy professional sports if we tried to hold that bar. And I know exactly what you meant. I hope you...Truly? Of course not. But relative to their competitors...kinda? I used to tell myself that about the Buss family to justify my Lakers fandom. I don't know how I'm gonna weasel my way out of it now.

I like Tomlin. I think he is a good coach and I'll take winning over some of the terrible franchises out there. I'm just honestly baffled by the QB decisions over the past couple seasons.

If we are going to give the family credit for the Rooney rule, then it's even more egregious they hired a washed up QB with dangerous opinions that he can't stop talking about. But really, it's Mike Tomlin trying to do his best to destroy his reputation and the franchise.

Football is similar. 30 years of my life has been spent as a fan. What do people even do on Sundays without football?

I'm actively boycotting American companies and products and have realized few things are more wrapped in Americana than the NFL. If I'm not going to watch "my team" then I guess it's not too much further to go to boycott the whole thing.
Sorry to go political. It's a weird thing to reconcile.

Wafik LinkThis man and the Bernstein Bears were my childhood. I have nothing but nostalgic joy for his books. I am sad that he was hit with dementia, but I am glad he can choose to die with dignity.This man and the Bernstein Bears were my childhood. I have nothing but nostalgic joy for his books.

Yeah the NFL keeps making it easier and easier to find reasons to want to stop watching.
WNBA sounds like a great idea to me. Much easier to route for. We just got a WNBA team in Toronto starting next year, so I'm looking forward to getting more into women's sports. They have definitely been blowing up recently for general interest.
