    Yeah I couldn’t take the fucking NFL in general anymore. It became exactly like America: overhyped, pricier by the year while being worse every year, full of stupid drama, and obviously has its best years behind it.

    Who wants to put up with three hours of shitty beer and truck commercials for 30 minutes of mediocre action? (A lot of America, I guess… But I can’t anymore, this frog hopped out of the pot.)

      I mean, the biggest problem with NFL is that a team can realistically only play 12-15 games a year. In baseball, you play 10x as many games. Basketball, marginally less, but you can still run a season for six months, with games multiple times a week.

      So tickets can be cheaper and the sport can still be more profitable by year.

      The high impact sports are a bad business model. Everything runs downstream of that, since you need to compress more and more of your revenue generation into a tighter timeframe.
