Florio calls out NFL for not fixing the problem that Saints fans know all-too-well

People are clowning on your post but you are not wrong. We live in an age that is driven by algorithms that feed on attention. It doesn’t matter if it is positive attention or negative attention. It is better for the NFL if people are talking about the no call on Monday than a great game that was played in college on Saturday. It is a great strategy for short term success.

Problem is when you see some of the most loyal fans becoming disenfranchised when it impacts them directly it becomes a long term time bomb. That play helped the NFL but it hurt the Saints.

It was poor word usage. The majority of fans (excluding Rams/Falcons fans) hated the no call. It wasn’t entertaining, it was a sad state for the NFL that day in particular. Many others sympathized with us and never want to endure that feeling.
Controversial is definitely the correct word bc people are intrigued by controversy. Wrestling is entertainment bc fans know that it’s fake, but treat it as a high action soap opera of sorts. Wrestlers know it’s fake. These football players say that the NFL is not scripted, so we accept it as “real”, but many of us can see what is actually going on. The NFL still hides behind the shield of “integrity”. They believe wholeheartedly in their “rules of competition”, but their actions are different. If they would come out and admit to swaying outcomes, then we could all just consume it as “entertainment”.
