So have you seen this flick, OP? I've heard it's garbage. People are saying it does a terrible job of explaining CTE and the other various brain problems directly caused by playing football and touches very little on the NFL's completely hypocritical stance on these issues and their laughably inadequate concussion protocols. Like the movie does such a bad job of addressing these problems that it feels like it was written by the NFL themselves.

At least that's what I hear.

I think the league sucks now however that said, these playoffs have goat potential.

Carolina, New England, Pittsburgh on a tear, Seattle dark horsing it, Arizona a great team on a untouchable streak with CotY, Redskins looking interesting, Denver doing some underdogging.

Also for the record the greatest team in history was the 2013 Seattle Seahawks and the NFL needed to die right there.

NFL is pretty cool and I wish more foreigners like britbros would get into it.

It has glimpses of many different forms of sport within the one game. Sumo, chess, soccer, etc. Each play is really engaging.

That said I prefer basketball.

Absolutely agree.

The NFL is everything wrong with our country.

Commercialization, cronyism, a lack of morals and discipline, giant babies in various stages of arrested development being made millionaires, alcoholism, drug addiction and death.

Plus the games fucking suck.

6 minutes of action in a 3hour broadcast.

Every time there is a huge controversy in the NFL, the season or the next big game starts and then nobody cares.

Face it, NFL is the only league where it is interesting all season long despite the refs all and bullshit. There can never be a huge boycott because nothing replaces it on Sundays.

Everybody should of known that the movie was not gonna be that harsh on the NFL when ads for it were running on networks that air NFL football.

No way in hell the league would of let them air them or talk about it as much if the movie was truly damning.

I might be wrong on this but i also heard that Goodell might of had a stake in the movie or something? Or he was consulted.

If someone like Wes Welker, who has probably sustained over 10 concussions during his playing career, were to die while on the field I think that would do it. The league has survived class action lawsuits as well as undeniable proof of brain damage which is now public knowledge. You can already see in the youth leagues an increase in touch/flag football and less middle/upper class people allowing their kids to play. Most of those people still watch anyways. But if someone died while playing at the very least their would be a huge dip in people watching.

Someone dying on the field wouldn't do shit. As long as people choose to risk their lives for money, the NFL will thrive. Only thing that will end the NFL is if it runs out of players or people stop watching. People willingly go to war. What's the difference between that and playing in the NFL?

It is.

It's not as technical as basketball or soccer, but there are bursts of beautiful execution on nearly every play such as routes and cuts by recievers or a runningbacks footwork before he hits the gaps, and the QB position is just brilliant.

Even the lineplay is extemely technical if you know what you're watching. Swim moves, feints, cuts, stunts. It's as technical as Sumo, as I referenced.

What the fuck is technical about soccer. There's 2 important rules, and no fucking plays.

The best players are the "most creative", can "make something out of nothing", nothing technical about kicking a ball back and forth and then shooting when the chance opens up. Wow so contrived and technical

Instant Oscar for Will Smith. He knew it when he saw the script

It has everything the Hollywood liberals love in a movie and its ambivalent to hostile towards sport and sport culture.

Will Smith's performance is ok by Will Smith standards but it certainly doesn't deserve praise for performances.

I'm going to watch it because I'm going to go through football withdrawal soon and this movie will be the methadone I use to ween me off of football.

> The reality of empire is nearly impossible to see from the heart of empire. Those who speak its truth are banished from the airwaves. They are condemned as traitors or “anti-American.” The cries of empire’s victims are rarely heard. The crimes that empire commits are rendered invisible. The greed of the war makers, along with the corruption and dishonesty of the political, judicial, academic and media courtiers who serve empire, is blocked from public view. The image of empire is scripted like a Walt Disney movie. This mythical narrative is disseminated in films, on television, by the press, in churches, in universities and by the state. It is a lie. But it is a lie that works. And it works because it is what we want. It appeals to our fantasies about ourselves: that we are a virtuous people, that God has blessed us above others, that we have the highest form of civilization, that we have been anointed to police the world and make it safe, that we are the most powerful and righteous nation on earth, that we are always assured of victory, that we have a right to kill in the name of nationalist values—values determined by our naked self-interest and that we conveniently define as universal.
