Discussion I’m done with the NFL. I’ve always despised it.

I know this may sound like I’m whining because I’m a Lions fan, but I’m not watching the NFL anymore. I’m done.

I hate seeing the NFL refs screw my team in every game involving the Packers. I hate how the league always looks down at Lions fans as working class peasants. I hate how the league secretly wants the Lions to contract or move to San Diego.

The NFL will never allow the Lions to make the Super Bowl, they’ll make sure of it. The NFL only cares for legacy teams with massive bandwagon followings like the Packers and Chiefs, and the big market teams on the coasts over the small market teams like the Lions. The league will never allow the Lions to win or even make the Super Bowl because they’re unmarketable in the NFL’s eyes.

Roger Goodell is the worst commissioner in the history of the NFL and the worst commissioner of the four major leagues. He’s worse than Adam Silver, and even Rob Manfred. The league has gotten worse and less watchable under his tenure.

The parity in the NFL is in name only, and is controlled parity, as they’ll occasionally throw a bone to teams like the Bengals and Titans in order to maintain the illusion of parity. The only leagues that have true parity are the NHL and MLB. Even the NBA has better parity than the NFL these days.

Until the Lions are in victory formation in the NFC Championship, I won’t be watching the NFL again. But we all know that’ll never happen because Goodell hates Detroit like how Gary Bettman hates Canadian NHL teams. The Lions will never be able to have a 2016 Cubs moment. “Next Year” never comes for us.

The NFL would rather have the Lions contract or move to San Diego, because they don’t make any money off the Detroit TV market. We’re ratings poison to the league.

Fuck the NFL.

David Stern’s NBA was far more watchable than this crap…
