The ratings are best when they’re involved AND they lose. The largest fanbase brings viewer$. Anyone that’s not a fan (MILLIONS!) brings even more. Combine the two…it’s profit time!
But if the Boys look too dominant, that second group becomes less engaged, and ratings drop. Out come the flags! Subjective penalties! Just coincidence$!
Yeah, we have deficiencies, we make mistakes, and most of what happens to us is of our own doing, but COME ON! On far too many third down situations, the opponent converts, or gets a flag that converts for them! Dallas makes a key first down or scores—like clockwork, a flag! Yeah, it happens to everyone. But not on the epic scale it does to us, and anyone that disputes that? Your boat has drifted too far down Da Nile.
So Dallas protests to the NFL? Think that’ll change anything? All it’ll do is intensify. They’ll adjust their methods to look even more insidious, and Dallas fans that notice will be demonized even more!
Cue the “realists”, in 3…2…1…
