NFL
I've been a fan of American Football a long time before I moved to America. And although I am still a fan of the game - though probably not as much as I used to be - I am no fan of the NFL organization. I hate the cover-up of brain injuries. I hate the predominantly old, white, rich, pro-Trump team owners. I hate the fact that they blackball a player who takes a knee during the anthem, but a free pass is given to all the players guilty of assault, domestic battery, etc. I hate the ridiculous schedule that includes long trips to London, meaningless exhibition games, a Thursday night game that doesn't make sense when everyone else plays on Sunday or Monday, and only one bye week per team per season. I hate that advertising and business interests have slowed the game down even more than it already is. I hate that they can just take a team away from a city. I hate the inequality of wealth in the game. I hate the over emphasis and over-exaggeration of fantasy stats. I hate that the game just doesn't seem as enjoyable and entertaining to watch as it used to be.
