MY DW feels the exact same way. Spoiled rich brats.

Watch those TV numbers drop below the 20 yard line.

This is one of the worst things about this pandemic---things happening in artificial situations devoid of normal human interaction.
It's a good thing too, because it would get very ugly with this nonsense:

NFL to play Black national anthem 'Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing' before 'Star Spangled Banner'
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/n...ner-at-week-1/

Now every group has a national anthem, the NFL basically divided us into different made up nations. That's just swell.

Which is truly sad, as professional sports once brought us together ethnically and culturally.

Watch a game from 2005, you'll see a huge difference; and 1995...well that's football the way it was played for almost a century.
Sissies on the field today wouldn't last long under the old rules.

I'ts safer now, some of the violence was toned down, but truthfully I dont miss it much. I always liked an appreciated a 1-0 baseball game, but found low scoring football lass interesting than the higher scoring affairs we have now
