For me, it's the product on the field. I liked it when these freakishly big guys smashed each other into the earth. Now they are taking that out of the game. Defenseless receivers? WTF?!? Now the D has to let the receiver catch the ball and establish a defendable position before they can make a big hit to try and separate the ball from them. Oh, I get it, it's for the players safety. But here's the rub... I don't care about the players safety.
These guys are suppose to be modern day gladiators. I say let them drug themselves up as much as they want to increase speed, bulk, and size- and let them crush each other. They'll get paid handsomely for it. Oh s
uuuuure, their life after football is wrecked or very short lived, but I don't care about their longterm future, I care about my short term entertainment. Besides, the players make good money so their families are taken care of, right? And what more does a man need to do than provide for his family? Job well done, fine sir!
As for the players? The ones who actually survive the blood bath- they become legends, like the Roman Gladiators of ancient times. Only the strong survive.
Put the women and children to bed and go looking for f'ing dinner, alright?
