The new Eagles head coach just moved in a couple doors down from me. I’m debating whether to tell him I used to be a huge Eagles fan but now I hate his stupid league anymore.

Football died for me when the players starting taking a knee for the National Anthem. I haven’t watched a game since and I was a fan back when the Colts were still in Baltimore and Johnny U was their quarterback.

I never got why I should be a ‘fan’ just because I happened to lived near some big city with a sports team. It’s a bunch of millionaires who can throw a ball who work for some other millionaire who convinced the city counsel to have the taxpayers pay for his stadium.

Watched football for years. Stopped the NFL about 6 years ago, college died for me 2 years ago or so.
I do stop by here to get my “fix” every now and then. I’m not on Twitter. I found out that you can look at posts without joining.

Football was quintessentially Autumn. Loved college football on Saturdays and the pro games on Sunday. When the players took a knee, I took my leave. Dead to me.

Football? I kicked it out of my life yearrrrrrrrrrrrrs ago. Baseball, same. Basketball, never interested.
Also from the Bee: “NFL Introduces Rainbow Flag For Refs To Throw When Players Aren’t Being Gay Enough”:
“Some of the new penalties being introduced include:
Failure to skip
Failure to cuddle after contact
Badly coordinated outfit
Not enough men on the field
Delay of coming out
Being Tim Tebow
Not enough holding”
A person can have fun with the list; penalties also include:
– use of jock straps, as there’s nothing to protect
– failure to catch ball with mouth
– not twerking after touchdowns
… and so forth.

When the NFL took a knee, I took a hike. It cost me. I lived in rural central Wisconsin for a decade, and loved me some Green Bay, a team that now doesn’t know it needs any Aaron Rogers. [Idiots!]
But that does’t bother me, because in 2016, a friend where I worked introduced me to football as played by his Alma Mater, a place with just shy of 100,000 souls on the Black Warrior River in west-central Alabama called Tuscaloosa: home to the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide football team.
One of my only consolations last year was watching the Crimson Tide roll up a murderer’s row of tough SEC opponents, finishing their perfect season with a 52-24 National Championship victory over the Big Ten’s best, Ohio State. Aside from my family alone, that was the highlight of my year.
If you once loved football, watch the Crimson Tide this year — and learn to love the game anew!

Played every sport available to excess throughout childhood – high school.
Never found watching any of it interesting or enjoyable.
The times I was forced to endure it’s presence, family-holiday get togethers and such I was continuously looking for the exit sign. I’d go walk around the block in sub-zero weather before putting up with that stuff. Football was the worst of the worst. Very little activity, and the constant droning of meaningless, endless minutia is more than any sane person can stand.
I have been consistently baffled, stymied, and disappointed in that so many people find it very entertaining. I just don’t get it and don’t want to. I could never be that braindead.
PA CAT, the gray one looked remarkably like our deceased Cameo. I’m sending the link to my wife. Thanks!

I never got interested in sports, with the exception of taking Judo as a kid- when I found out it was mostly a “sport” instead of a Martial Art, I dropped out and studied real ones instead.
I always wondered why the “jocks” in High School ran around chasing balls, while I preferred to chase skirts. Seemed to me like a much better version of ‘scoring.’
Ashamed really, grew up on 49 er football, and SF Giants. After Collin Pumpernickel took a knee the very first time, we were done. Still enjoy College football, Oregon Ducks and the Beavers, today’s nobodies taken a knee, they do, we’re gone.
Seems like the only sport I enjoy watching anymore is PRO Motocross, outdoors.
I’m told the SG Giants are wearing rainbow patch’s on their uniform. He’s the thing, even if the
Pro sports got their heads out of their asses, we would not go back. The cords cut, forever,

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
