The No Fun League is back!
I hear this all the time, and I just don't get it.
The game of
FOOTBALL is
fun to watch. Calling the NFL "no fun league" seems to put more importance on the circus act instead of the game itself.
Strip everything away and just give us the game of FOOTBALL, and I'll still be a rabid fan with season tickets every year. This other stuff - cheerleaders, endzone celebrations, bands, etc., - are just diversions to the MAIN ACT.
Some of you folks act like the game is boring and won't have much to offer unless we let people act like fools in the endzone. Why stop at goofy dances and ball humping then? Why not bring in the circus clowns, trapeze artists, and lion cages. Then EVERY touchdown can have a mini-Mardi Gras attached to it. Obviously this is the best solution because the game of FOOTBALL is just no fun at all.
And why stop at TDs? Why not let them just dance and celebrate every play? wooohooo, made a tackle, time for the obligatory breakdance. yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun....or maybe not...
You know what really sucks? Watching TO or CJ do their little celebrations from six different camera angles (ad nauseum) on NFL Primetime instead of using that time to show us more highlight plays. Yeah, novel idea, more replays of the game itself instead of all the goofy antics.
