If you haven't already noticed, the NFL is a whore. They'll sell the rights to their own children if it was legal. Even their fucking awards are sponsored. FedEx Player of the Year, Bridgestone Performance of the year...blah blah blah. It's not longer a sport, it's a performance being pieced out and sold to the highest advertising bidder. It's no longer for blue collared people.

there's certainly many things to dislike about the NFL. off field player behavior being my big issue with it and roger goodell. nevertheless, the game is still very much a sport. a true team sport played and coached by the highest caliber athletes and strategists and more. the fact it is a sport allows it to rise above the problems.
