All who watch this Super Bowl will destroy what football should be

[nathanlt]

I know the title is provocative, but I'm not leading with that to annoy others, just for the fun of it.

I'm serious when I say that Goodell needs to hear the message loud and clear, the debacle that the NFL has become will not be tolerated. Officials who watch NFL receivers get blasted, helmet to helmet, before the ball arrives, and then do nothing about it, have revealed a great deal.

They've revealed they are acting maliciously toward a team in the playoffs.
They have been given instructions to prohibit one team from winning.
Incompetence will no longer cloak these truths.

Knowing that, (there is no dispute or controversy) will you actually promote the destruction of the NFL by watching?

I know that Super Bowl parties are a tradition, and they are a great opportunity for socializing, but the time to act is now. Football will be unwatchable if the public ignores the game fixing that went on. I've been invited to a Super Bowl party already, but I've turned it down. I know its not an easy thing to do.

Will you seriously consider making other plans? Fishing, a get together with friends, doing anything else?

The NFL must get this message. WHAT FOOTBALL HAS BECOME IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

Nah, I'm gonna go ahead and watch like I do every year. I'm counting on the competition committee, of whom Sean Payton is a member, to do work in the offseason.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Stealers arent in it for the refs to hand them another win so I'll watch.

 

[Doomsday101]

exactly, when I get to boycotting then I will stop watching all together. I don't watch the game except for my own pleasure and when it is no longer pleasing then why bother with it. I'm a football fan and while the call in the saints game was bad it is not the only bad call that has happened in the NFL. You can sit and cry about it or move on. I choose to move on

 

[nightrain]

Should be a good game.

 

[viman96]

Ridiculous to blame Goodell for the state of the NFL. Blame the owners and not the hired help.

The only people who get emotional like this are those who still think Dez caught it.

1. Dez did catch it. No, I'm not over it.
2. Deion's PI was just as blatant as Robey-Coleman's. No, I'm not over it.
3. There's nothing new here, so move on.

[MarcusRock]

See. I was right, lol.

I’ll watch. It will probably be one of the most watched SB’s in history. Hate will consume you. Looks like it has.

provocative?

Super Sunday should be a holiday.....how-bou-dat?

Great, go watch the predetermined outcome... If you pay a ref for inside information, you can make money. What a debacle.

Exactly, Goodell was hired and works for the owners, so I find it nauseating that people continue to blame Goodell when he's the figurehead and point man for the Owners

I swear they admitted at the beginning of this year that Dez caught it.

Fans complained about too many penalties. Refs get told not to throw flags. Refs go overboard in the other direction. Fans complain.

I would much rather suffer through egregious no calls than egregious calls. Refs should always be more inclined to let the players dictate the outcome of the game rather than insert themselves into the game.

Its 2019, peak outrage culture, and everyone is a critic. You cannot let outrage mobs dictate everything. The NFL should do nothing. No rule changes. No replay changes. No opening up challenges to PI and adding challenges. Whatever the "solution" I will guarantee fan complaints about it.

If we get to a point where all of human error is unacceptable in officiating then the game will be unwatchable due to constant reviews and stoppages.

So who will win and what will the score be? It’s predetermined right?

I'm not an NFL referee, so don't ask me.
