I stopped caring when they started kneeling, it was already getting boring even back then.
This might be unpopular to some, but they have been adding so many rules for the last 10+ years in the name of “safety” they have made the game very boring, combined with bad calls (also happening in college now) that its becoming a watered down version of what it once was. Nothing worse than seeing refs influence the game and that is where we are at now in both College and Pro. Pro I know from my social media blowing up about it weekly, college from seeing it happen.
Enough is enough take the “Nanny Safety Rules” OUT and let them play. People make choices, they can choose to play or not. I do agree some rules are needed. But Roughing the passer and Kicker are over-used to the point its sickening. If a person has the ball they should be fair game to be hit PERIOD. Targeting they are getting better with, but at game speed it should only be for what is a deliberate shot to the head. And I am actually for reviewing ALL calls by the refs, to many we have seen on replay that were bad, bad to the point I wonder who is getting paid.
