I do not watch football anymore. The National Felons League has forfeited the regard of normal Americans in my eyes. They have normalized criminal behavior and celebrate "Urban" culture while having these criminals kneel to celebrate other petty criminals and disrespect our nation and it's sacred symbols.
I do read some blogs about sports though to keep abreast of the sports world that I have divorced myself from because of its utter depravity. One of the best sires is Clay Travis's "Out Kick." He just posted something that made me want to puke.
Supposedly they want to bring ex-Miami coach Brian Flores to coach. Nothing good comes from the Dolphins. I remember when they imported Larry Csonka and he sucked balls. People move to Florida from New York. Not the other way around.
The kicker is that they want to import serial rapist Deshaun Watson. Twenty-two women say he raped them. That doesn't seem to bother the Mara's. Or the sick degenerate remnants of that once proud family.
I remember when the Giants represented class. The hard work and values of the white working class. Kyle Rote. Andy Robustelli. Sam Huff. Tucker Fredrickson.
Slowly but surely the values changed. Superior athletes who embraced the criminal lifestyle were incorporated into the team. Lawrence Taylor. The asshole who shot himself. Paxlico was his name. This latest move would be the last straw. Bringing a serial rapist in to lead your team. A guy who should be in jail is behind the center and the star of your team.
Disgrazia.
A plague on their house to the last generation.
It's sick out there and getting sicker.

I parted company with pro sports around 1980. The free agency and players unions did it for me.
And you can bet all the Lefty threats have made things the way they are.
It's no sicker than it's ever been. We are however, living through a time of significant if not seismic shift and change.
From the post, it sounds as though something once enjoyed and perceived as good, fun, admirable, or meaningful is no longer available or able to provide what previously mattered. And that inability to connect and deliver resulted in a turning away or leave-taking, which involves loss, with anger as a natural part of the grief that comes with deep disappointment and loss.
Even though it may seem easier to stay with the anger rather than work through the loss and reconcile the goodness experienced (and missed) with the betrayals (disconnects/brokenness) that led to the turning away, doing so closes down vitality and hope while opening the door and lighting the path toward more and deeper nihilism and despair.
And that's the very path that leads to destruction being bemoaned.
If you haven't come across it already, to fill the NFL watching gap, I recommend a book recently written by a historian of the ancient world, Tom Holland, about the impact of the crucifixion of Christ (from a non-Christian's viewpoint no less, for an intriguing perspective) and the influence of Christianity "across the last 2000 years". It's entitled: Dominion, How the Christian Revolution Remade the World. and was published in 2019, mostly written in the pre-pandemic days of wokeness prior to the election.
