Losing Interest in the NFL

2. The league's new safety rules are more about protecting star players from missing time and less about protecting all players from CTE or enhancing game play.

3. Most commercials and advertising are really corny and try way too hard to hit every demographic checkmark and try to appeal to a caricature of way the determined is the average football fan. Every commercial break then ends with the network advertising their newest hit cop drama debuting later in the week.

4. *any given game ends* "I'd rather believe that whole thing was fixed instead of  believing the refs being genuinely that incompetent"

This about sums it up for me. Just hard to watch. College is still great but the NFL can't get out of their own way. Just use college rules and college officials.
