Has some guy on right now that thinks we need to stop watching college football. Haven't heard why yet.

FYI, it was more about both pro than college. Almost all about pro. Concussions, cartels, tax dollars going to private endeavors that don't improve the area like people think they do, racism...
...drew a parallel to boxing, which was once the biggest sport in the nation.
Football is not alone in that regard. Baseball, hockey, and basketball all have the same issues, except maybe concussions.
Nowadays I seem to have a love-hate relationship with football. Concussion issues aside, college football is rotten and corrupt to the core and the NFL has gotten too big and arrogant for it's own good.
That said, most autumn weekends I still ultimately cave and tune in at least some of the time. I still find entertainment value in the sport itself, but would like to see those 2 organizations cut down to size in some way, unrealistic as that may be.
I could not agree more with all of this. I actually quit FFL this year. It wasn't very much fun for me last year. The other guys in my league were shocked. I had been the commish for five years running previously.
I'm interested to see if this returns my love for the game. Being a Lions fan aside, I was about to pull the plug on the whole thing last year.
