Jezebel is not my go-to for opinion pieces but this one is about as accurate as it gets. The NFL for far too long has protected villains who continue to abuse the rights of women and folks continue to support them like its business as usual. Also, Football SUCKS. I rather watch molecules separate through gel electrophoresis than watch football. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I realize that letting go of fandom is hard (hell, I was a football fan for most of my life, and I still have stress dreams about Gary Anderson sometimes and I long for the days when I didnt know enough about the League to be morally conflicted). But if all youre doing in response to the NFLs tone deaf attitude toward violence against women is complain about it without changing your behavior as a consumer, then your complaints only serve to paint yourself as a person who appears to care. Without actions to back them up, moral declarations are just as empty and self-serving as an NFL press release.
