I don’t have to put a dime of my money toward the team in any way if I chose not to. I guess I am just getting old and I realize it doesn’t really affect my life that much. Not that I am saying anyone is wrong for debating who is right or wrong. That is a personal choice. However I will say it does suck. We have Burrow participating in training camp and healthy (hoping the wrist holds up) and now we have the Chase saga. That is why I kinda checked out and will tune back in for week 1. Who Dey 2024!! I mean Joe really should hoist the Lombardi in New Orleans. Sure would make for a great story ?
I do care because our chances of winning a superbowl are decreased without Chase out there. I would say they're also decreased without him practicing, our division is no cakewalk, losing to teams we shouldn't will hurt the playoff chances.
Also this has become a "story" the NFL will now track throughout the season. I wonder what other stories will pop-up along the way. lol. With the NFL it's always about the stories, who's able to generate some drama lol. If you don't have talent on the roster, can't create any drama, not worth money apparently lol
