#1 The NFL is its own creation and its own fault. It quite being sports competition for personality driven entertainment some time back, birthing fantasy football as a way to interest fans in games they would normally not watch or care about other than rankings. Sports entertainment coverage pushed this as well, and not just ESPN.

The talking heads did not help as their coverage of an event strayed further and further from the event they were supposed to be covering and into politics and culture, but the NFL opened that door with the identity themes such as breast cancer month.

They also let themselves be pushed around by the players' union which is why the NFL won't and can't do anything about this except ride the tiger.

#2 As a Lifelong San Diego Chargers fan, I really now understand it's a business. FUCK the NFL. You run it like a business, then remember sometimes businesses fail.

#3 I'm glad San Diego didn't pony up the money for a stadium for a team that will circle the drain like the rest of the NFL as this continues and fear of microconcussions start to starve the system of young players.
