The NBA at least pays lip service (and does a pretty good job of it). But I suppose that’s different in that people root for players in the NBA. There are as many fans of Lebron, Steph, and Harden as there are fans of teams. Player-driven league. Not like that in the NFL where it’s cheering for helmets irrespective of who’s wearing it.
But I’m honestly surprised how they’re just pushing through this season; everything else be damned. Niners are moving to Arizona ’cause Santa Clara, where they play, has banned all contact sports until at least the 21st of December. Instead of, damn, maybe we shouldn’t, it’s, fuck it, let’s just move. Insane.
