Losing interest in the Cowboys and the NFL

[lukin2006]

This past Sunday I watched the last 2 minutes of the lions game and maybe 6 minutes of the Philly game. This is what happens when the ownership runs the franchise into the ground not mention the dummies running this league..

You aren't alone. Many others, including myself, are losing interest as well.

I’m enjoying watching football in general.

cowboys games right now are just meh. I will watch them if they’re on. But I just don’t get pumped up or excited like I usually do.

not until next season again

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. A lot of people lose interest when Wentz is out there

I've been watching more games that have either the Chiefs or the Steelers. Having a star on your helmet doesn't mean that I need to tolerate bad football.

Haven't been watching last three weeks. Can't say I feel like I'm missing out on anything.

 

[Risen Star]

Just imagine how hard this is on real fans.

 

[Jipper]

yeah i hear ya....too much non football stuff seeping into the NFL and not a lot of great story lines this year...in addition the cowboys are garbage which always is a bummer....it will hopefully be better next year.

100% this. I'm a fan of football as a sport. I'll get just as excited for Browns vs Titans as I will any cowboys game.

If your enjoyment of the sport is on based on Jerrys country club then that's unfortunate because theres tons of other exciting action out there.

I never thought I'd say it, but for the first time in my life I'm losing interest in the NFL. My lack of interest goes more toward the entitlement of players, the extreme need of players to spew their beliefs, and the sloppiness of the games.

There were no real exciting matchups yesterday from my opinion. Other than watching if NY and Philly would lose or not.
I had the games on all day, but did other things here and there as well.

I will still watch all the games I can, especially Dallas games. Once playoffs start though, I will watch, but how much attention depends on what team I do not like to see them eliminated.

1st teams out, GB & Pittsburgh. Giants or Commanders, or Eagles if by some miracle they win the division.

I agree, there have been some good football games played, just not from the cowboys. Having lived in Cleveland for a few years, I root for the Browns to do well. I’m so happy for my Ohio friends!

I didnt watch the most of the last 5 weeks, Caught half of Skins game.

RedZone and fantasy football are why I watched yesterday. If I was stuck with an individual game - and the two hours of commercials - I'd have looked for something else.

I was also watching Liverpool smash Wolverhampton 4-0. Football without commercials - how do they do it?

 

[DoctorChicken]

My focus has mostly turned to the draft.

If you still want to watch, find a likeable team to root for this year. I know Dallas is done for, so I'd like to see the Bills win it all.

Rooting for the Browns and the Cowboys.... are you some kind of masochist?

Your unconditional devotion to our team is admirable.

At least part of it for me is the wokeness. I get it there is a lot of bad in the world but can we just play football. I see the bad everywhere I look and football was always my escape from it. Now it's always in your face and the NFL Facebook is about the worst.

Hard to be devoted to a team that refuses to put a quality product year in and year out. If I want to see bright lights and over the top production I will go to the circus.

ooooohhhhhh, well said.

That is exactly what was in the back of my mind, but I couldn't put it into words. Football was my escape, and now they think it's a good idea to talk about issues relentlessly. I hate it.
