Has anyone else found themselves enjoying watching football much less than years prior due to the number of penalties? (alien.top)

I swear, half of the plays in the games I watch have a penalty. It just kills the flow of the game seeing a flag all the time, it feels like games back in the 00’s were not like this.

We're talking about an extra defensive holding every five games. an extra roughing the passer every eight.
