F--- the NFL. I just dumped my whole sports package from my cable subscription. Feels great,

My wife has always found my love of football incongruous with the rest of me. I love the systemic application of strategy. Yes, I acknowledge liking the brute athleticism. I will follow the college and pro teams that I like, but it will have to be on the basic network. Screw ESPN and the NFL Network. Plus my cable bill went down 25% and they gave me 6 months of HBO because they were afraid I was going to dump cable. I still have the news and Free Speach TV.

among football players, watching the game isn't nearly as appealing as it once was.

Hit the bastards where it hurts. I won't be watching football this fall unless the kneeling rule gets changed pronto and the NFL admits that Kap has a point and settle his lawsuits in ways that Kap approve of.
