It is funny reading the politics forum here, and then compare the NFL and real football. The NFL is extremely socialist, whereas true football is pretty much pure capitalism (which posters on the politics forum should love).
The reason it's like that is to keep consumer interest in the sport.
If the same teams keep on winning every year, consumer interest drops and the NFL would lose money.
In order to keep interest in the sport high, they need more teams that are evenly matched. You can sort of think of it as a socialist system within a capitalist one, if that makes any sense.
The climate here is just too tedious to really comment on it much. The weather here right now isn't really any different from summer right now and it's October 27....
Sounds like you need a vaca to somewhere a little more interesting weather wise. Summer is a distant memory here now. This weather is perfect. Never hot and never too cold. Only wearing a light jacket most of the time with no hats or gloves needed. Temps more variable than summer. I love it. Now if only this was winter.
We have had days with temps around 60/40F high and low, and that would be a great winter. Then I realized that is basically Savannah to Charleston SC. I'm gonna try and visit there this winter to see what it is like in say January. You should plan a trip to a climate you want to try out in winter. Minneapolis?
Same, but I'm always less active outside of summer until Spring, because our weather is so boring during this period. Needs some of the older posters to become active again
Your weather isn't more changeable outside of summer?

That doesn't stop the English and Spanish leagues being the most watched on Earth.

This time of year is kind of crappy. Generally too late for thunderstorms or heat, too early for cold or snow, so kind of tedious.
And I agree, that I find the forum more boring. I remember in 2011, we had one seasonal thread for both hemispheres, and it was more active, and didn't feel like people from North America dominated the discussion. Some posters have either stopped posting or don't post often anymore.
Autumn is a waste if it's not sunny. Too stable just like winter, at least they are rather dry.
I think summer is the most changeable season here. We had 36 °C one day this August and 16 °C with constant rain a few days later. Such a change in temperature is impossible in any other season.
With the English premier league, it's rather predictable which teams will win, so it's a little boring.
