So bad.
And I'm not talking about any of the political bs.
I love the sport of football, played it & so did all my male relatives, but the sport is in a bad state, college football is joyless now and the NFL games are mostly really poor quality of play, dead atmosphere, etc. There are like 2-3 good quarterbacks in the entire league. And the top "prospects" in college are terrible.
Gambling & fantasy football are carrying this shit on their back IMO

the tenor of popular cultural objects are reflections of the nature and quality of a people. we are a people composed of adults who eagerly consume marvel movies and pro sports have accordingly been reduced to juvenile capeshit. it can still nice to watch a college hockey or baseball game or fcs football game without reddit there to say how heckin epic it is or a barstool watch party of performatively crying men.

nfl is still good imo. "big time" college football is largely unwatchable. i think a lot of the joylessness you are experiencing is just becoming old and jaded.
I understand the sport at a high level I have like 4-5 generations of epigenetic memories of playing football in me. The sport is dire at the moment. Quality of play has never been lower
Yeah my ancestors didn't come here from Hyderabad 20-30 years ago we are genuine americans and I enjoy and understand the sport on a level you never could. Just like I can't appreciate the nuance of a Sitar performance. Not being racist at all cause my wife is also a foreigner.
big time cfb has been great this year, competitive games and amazing finishes. nfl has been really boring with a ton of sloppy play and lots of stars injured. the word slop gets overused now but it really feels like nfl sundays are lining up at the cafeteria to be fed 24-14 games one after another that end with a failed drive with 4 minutes left, or a game that goes to overtime because someone fucked up and didn't finish in regulation.

The viewing experience is utter shit compared to what it used to be. If you think it's worth killing 90% of the game in favor of the last 4 minutes, that's your choice

College fucking sucks now too. The rule changes at both levels are designed to maximize ad revenue, and they don't give a fuck that it debases the viewing experience. These NFL fuckers in particular are also paid millions and millions of dollars to play children's games specifically to account for the CTEs and health problems/early deaths they'll suffer so that the game is fun to watch
I've already done the bare minimum viewing of CFB this season, and I may not tune back in next year at all at this rate
