NFL Football is probably doomed
By JIM STONE
It accidentally landed on the TV twice yesterday. It is not the same as it was 20 years ago, that is obvious. It seems fake. The players lack emotion. What was so wrong with spiking a football that they had to ban it? The crowd sounded fake, like piped in cheering. Nothing seemed real. The entire feel was boring and dark.
I do not watch football, and never did even in the past unless someone else had it on. But in the past I at least did not gag when I saw it, this time around it felt like watching a five gallon bucket drip fill. It did not help to have a pre-set bad attitude towards it over the recent politics also. The sport of curling now blows NFL Football away for all I care. At least the people are passionate with curling. Political correctness did not wreck that sport yet I guess.
Anyway, here is the fairly new (2012) NFL rule against fun:
The excessive celebration ruling would result in a 15-yard penalty under Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 of the rulebook.
The rule reads: "These acts include but are not limited to: sack dances; home run swing; incredible hulk; spiking the ball; throwing or shoving the ball; pointing; pointing the ball; verbal taunting; military salute; standing over an opponent (prolonged and with provocation); or dancing.
THE NFL is dying (in part) because it is in bed with communist style STUPID. You are a resource. Forget the fun. Score your touch down and SHUT UP.
