I Don’t Care About the NFL

There was a time when I watched a ton of football, both college and pro.  It was not uncommon for me to spend most of the day Sunday watching the NFL, then continue on to Monday night.  Last year I watched almost no NFL, and some amount of college.

What has become apparent over the last few months, and to be honest the last few years, is that I just don’t care about it anymore.  I listen to a lot of sports radio in the car to keep up with what’s going on, and it has been non-stop the last few weeks and months with the handwringing over whether or not the season would start on time.  It got to the point yesterday that I just had to turn it off.

I get that there is a lot of money at stake.  I also get that the NFL is probably, second to the English Premier League, the most popular sports league in the world.  I have simply lost interest.

While it looks like the NFL will start on time, would you have missed it if it hadn’t?  Really?  I bet we all would have found better ways to spend our time.
