I’m new to watching sports in general, but every week it seems like something around the league is dysfunctional. Whether it be players being fined for seemingly minor things (like cheetahs peace sign), or bad referee calls, or organizations giving up, or how the trade deadline was boring compared to other sports, it all seems like the nfl is not very well regulated. Is this how it’s always been, or have these problems gotten worse as of recent? I’m not trying to put blame on anyone here, but what’s the underlying problem? Also, do these sorts of things happen in other sports all the time?

How'd you know?

I dunno why you’d even bother having this opinion if you’re new to the sport

It does seem to be having a down year, but no.

"it all seems like the nfl is not very well regulated"

this is in a different galaxy than the truth.

The refs are spitting blood out here on live TV and your saying it’s going down hill.

I agree! Why didn’t the chiefs trade mahomes for draft picks and why didn’t Carolina go all in at the deadline??

Once Red "The Box" Boxman retired from the Milwaukee Dockworkers in 1937, football has just gone downhill. He played offense, defense, special teams, and once tore the arm off another man and used it to tackle him. Now the league is just soft and infatuated with this gimmick "forward pass" and rock music to bring in the kids and their phones.

There was no script due to the SAG strike. The season has no coherent theme or character arcs.
