Poll: Has the NFL become to politically correct for your taste?
I keep reading about how the NFL is losing viewers/fans.I'm wondering if its because of all the rule changes that has seemed to make the game less interesting? Or is it because of all the political actions that you don't agree with and you just don't watch it anymore or fail to become interested.

It could always change, but DirecTV is not checking too hard on shared accounts. A student in my office signed up for the streaming only. They had to enter date of birth and university, pay for the account and create a password. Anybody that knows the name of the streaming account and password can then stream Sunday ticket. He said he didn't even have to go to his email or anything to activate it. And it's not like there is any sort of account to be messed with like there would be with something like a cable account.

Not everyone knows somebody who is a student, but I would think a lot of people would know somebody that lives in an apartment.

I generally avoid illegal downloads and pirated materials. But I'm in the cord cutter group and am not going to sign up for a physical dish. And it's not like Direct TV is completely losing out. They got $100 from me that they would not otherwise have gotten. Although they are losing out in the sense that I would have been willing to pay more. (But not a monthly pay TV subscription that I wouldn't use after football season.)

There is still a lot of OTA NFL football. The one that I think is really shooting themselves is hockey. When I watch NHL at my parent's house, I keep thinking I would really enjoy this if I got into it. But there is so little OTA or free content that I can't get into it. And I'm not going to sign up for an expensive option before I've convinced myself I'll get my money's worth.

I don't really feel that it is certain teams. It's that it is much easier to make it to the SB with an elite QB. Both because of what the QB intrinsically brings and because high profile QBs get the benefit of the call.

If KC had gotten Peyton and then gotten Luck, I think KC would be on that list. Sure, Dallas and the Giants get more attention than their record deserves, but small market teams can make it with a high profile QB.

I don't have the sense that Dak Prescott is getting more roughing the passer penalties just because he plays for Dallas.

The NBA is way, way worse. Sure, a team like OKC Thunder might have a short window of being relevant, but to get the calls from the refs, you have to be a high profile player and that is a lot easier playing for a big market team.

Too much rule legislating is what I worry about. I believe we are as far as we can go on safety i.e. to tackling that we can go without it ruining the game for good. What will ruin it for me is if they say once a RB gets to the 2nd level you must not tackle below the waist and hits and tackles on the WRs or RBs must be at the 'torso level' only. Imagine that.

I'm old school and tackling is tackling outside of flagrant face masking and helmet to helmet or flagrant spearing( I get that). I hate the horse collar rule as well and I don't give a rat's patute how many knee injuries have been caused by it either.

.i.e to PC ? Yes. It will only get worse as time goes on because all you have to do is follow the $$ and PC trial lawyers are waiting in the wings to get their stolen piece of the NFL capitalistic pie.

Bo Jackson declared just this week that if he had known about the dangers of playing football (i.e., concussions), he wouldn't have played in the NFL. He also stated that his children are not allowed to play football.

Yet you want to blame the lawyers?

In fact there is, and I do.

I kind of wonder if the NFL has determined that sales and ratings are better when there are only a few teams getting all the wins. Those teams scrape all of the casual bandwagon fans off the wall and get them to buy stuff.

For me it's annoying seeing every single tackle, assist, catch or play being celebrated like that player just won the Super Bowl.

As one guy said (more or less): "I'm willing to suffer a few blown calls to increase my enjoyment of the game, because right now, it's really hard to get truly excited when a great play ahppens because I need to wait for a flag, and then wait for the replay review to confirm"

I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm a strong proponent of replay review, so maybe I'm biased. I'm willing to wait a bit to "get it right", but maybe they have a point?
That is interesting. Case in point: week 1 against SD. Chiefs in OT drive down and goal to go, Smith runs the ball in on an option. Because of the review, I was forced to hold my breath through a commercial break to see the result/outcome of the game. It certainly takes some of the pizazz out of the game
