“Passion is what makes life interesting, what ignites our soul, fuels our love and carries our friendships, stimulates our intellect and pushes our limits.” Pat Tillman NFL legend and U.S. Army Ranger.
I watched the Eagles vs Cowboys game yesterday. I tape the games and then fast forward through the nauseating commercials and mindless commentary by the same old broadcasters.
The NFL claims to be about “professional football.” But how can that be? During yesterday’s game the officials called 22 penalties, 14 on the Eagles who ended up losing the game. The Eagles are the defending champions from last season’s Super Bowl. UGH!
The penalties on both teams show the lack of adhering to the rules of football. It is maddening to watch teams committing penalties like lining up in the neutral zone, offsides, holding, delay of game, illegal formation, illegal shift, too many players on the field, hands to the face, pass interference, offsides, running into the kicker, unsportsmanlike conduct, taunting, and excessive celebration.
Twenty-two times yesterday the officials stopped game because of penalties. Do the players not understand the rules? Are players just undisciplined? Do they care? See below. This chart shows penalties called last year by the top offenders. Maddening!
And even worse, see chart below. Great scoring plays getting erased by stupid penalties.
The NFL is not about professional football. Too many dumb mistakes. and many repeated!
Finally, players are spitting on each other. Star receiver Ja’Marr Chase with the Cincinnati Bengals has been suspended for spitting on an opposing player. That player was ejected for punching Chase. Is this really professional football?
