Does it really get any better.

The frustrating thing for me is how, not only the NFL, but national leagues, memberships, institutions, and industries bow to the vocal minority and completely ignore the silent majority assuming they will just go along. How can they not realize the woke crowd is NOT their core customer? So frustrating.

Last year was the first year of my 52 years on this earth that I didn’t drop what I was doing to watch the Steelers. During my Air Force days I’d get up early, stay up late or wake up in the middle of the night to log in on my dial up modem to listen to a choppy connection of Cope over RealAudio. Now, I won’t even stop cutting my grass to turn on the TV. It’s not a boycott. I’m just losing interest.

I just got to the point where it feels like...my favorite restaurant for decades decided to cater to a new clientele. They changed the menu. They took off my favorite items, got rid of my favorite servers, and yet assume I will continue to come back because the name of the restaurant didn’t change.

I’m holding out hope they will come to thier senses and reel it back a bit, but I have no expectation of that happening.

I feel like Stan from South Park. Everything is ****.

2019 season ended with disappointment. Then the Kung foo flu hits and the country loses its mind.

Looking fwd to a sense of normalcy. Not happening.

Looking at college football canceling entire season,. Yet we're sending the kids and college students back to class. It makes zero sense.

Now too it off with zero real training camp news in mid August. Preseason is cancelled. Magically football will start and the teams will be competitive and top notch. Oh yeah. How many fans will be in the stands? Mmmhmm. Honestly. I'm just saying **** it till mid Nov when all this stuff will magically go away. Anyone have any positivity or real camp news to share other than players released from their covid isolations?

Simplest thing I can say—you aren’t alone in how you feel —even if it feels like it.

I agree to an extent but the city folk seem to have shut themselves off to seeing it. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the "hardened" aspect of city dwelling. It doesn't help with the media constantly blaring injustices or threatening situations to the average Joe. Kindness is there and it's in each and nearly every person alive ONCE the hardness is taken out of them. Granted for some it is a lot more difficult to remove the hardness than it is for others.

Long story cut short. Two years ago an out of state plates car was along side of road 1:30 AM. I pull up with my bright lites on to blind him I'm 100ft from them and get out and hollar....what's wrong. The guy hollers back out of gas and starts walking my way. I hollar stay where you're at I'll get gas and be back in 15 minutes. I drive off (home) grab my always filled 2 gal gas can and my (protection device). Drive back and see him and VERY pregnant wife outside car. I park truck 100 ft back bright lites and get out of my truck and carry gas to them (they didn't know if I had someone else in my truck or not. He gasses himself up and can't thank me enough. The wife hugged me and said she had to get out of car because she wanted to thank me, she struggled and got back in car and the kid asked me how much he owed me. I said nothing, just one thing and that was to play if forward. He knew what that was and asked for my phone number I gave it to him because she had given me theirs. 3 weeks later he called and said they had the baby safely and all was good, also he told me of his good deed he played forward.

Point is he was from a big city and had no problem being kind. I know well enough that evil exist(s) rampantly and many have been hardened by it. It's getting that hardened evil out of you that can make you happy in kindness and live life the way you were meant to live it.


Sorry for the run on and on but the GOLDEN ticket was the stranded people has a STEELERS decal in their rear window.

Does anyone else feel like a huge part of your life was stolen from you? I LIVED for the Steelers. Now I don't give a rip.
 
This is the least I’ve cared about training camp in my life.. I just can’t get into it. We can’t attend camp or games. It doesn’t feel like football anymore especially with political **** forcing its way into the sport.

Yes, but it happened several years ago when our brilliant coach/front office/whatever, decided signing Michael Dick was a good idea. I was horrified, sickened and unable to watch. It's been a long road back but I've really been feeling it and then bam, coronavirus.

For me, it hit when the rules were so clearly changed to benefit the cheaters, and then the league ignored the cheating. This political stuff is now the nail in the coffin.
