Lots of great posts in this thread. I posted this in the Alex Smith Purgatory thread. It's an adequate summation of where I am. Bolded the TL;DR part.

Really though, I don't give a ****. I'll stay in purgatory after climbing out the depths of hell thanks to Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards and Scott Franchise Killer Pioli. **** man.
We aren't winning shit for awhile anyway. We don't consistently beat good teams so until we can do that, what's the ****ing point of worrying about who is taking the snaps?
Between the Tire Fire days of Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards and Scott Franchise Killer Pioli, and then right the **** after that the CTE bullshit starts and they pull half our starters out because of "concussions" when we are raping some fools in the playoffs, to Donks becoming cheap shot artists and Von Douche not getting fined for obviously teeing off on Smith. Late. With the Crown. Launching. While a week later Tamba gets one for a fat OL sitting on him. Then through the whole London home game crap. All the way through to the tampering shit, Sean Smiths ridiculous suspension. Then these mother****ers like Richard Sherman says his knees hurt while I climb on the tractor with arthritis in my knees ankles and hands but don't happen to have any $20M checks laying around. I'm just ****ing tired man. What the **** am I rooting for? It used to be football. Now it's ****ing asenine PR driven nonsense that has only an ancillary correlation to football.
Maybe I'm grumpy after working a billion hours to get $3 corn harvested and $2.80 wheat planted, but I'm ****ing tired of ****ing nonsense.

Bottom line it is a cumulative effect of all the shit posted in the thread. Lots of it I had forgot about - like the Costas gun thing (**** that guy seriously), incapacity to determine catches, etc.
Every time some stupid shit like some game getting crazy calls for a certain team to win, or cover or some shit, dumbass discipline/non-discipline shit, collecting money from military for the appreciation days, ****ing off breast cancer money, or whatever other blatant sellout of the game for revenue dollars just knocks another chunk out of the credibility of the league. There isn't one big thing that wrecks the league, but eventually the foundation of credibility the game of football stood on is pissed away by these golden goose killing mother****ers.
When the credibility is gone, it is almost impossible to be engaged in, so that leads to guys like me getting tired of the shit and tuning out.
