When I was a kid, you got respect for taking an opponent down and taking the ball away from the other team.
Now, if you pass gas in the QB's general direction, you get kicked out of the game and exiled to Horrible Bully island. Don't get me started on this pass interference or looking crosseyed at the receiver nonsense. No more foosball for me. Flag football is for kids, not the big leagues. I'm down to baseball and pro-wrestling as 'sporting events worth watching', and one of those has had both feet out of the door for years. I gave up on pro wrestling for 10-12 years and only started watching it again during covid. It went from "this ain't ballet" to 'this really looks like synchronized swimming." But, I am giving it another try.
