Actually liberating tbh can not watch the woke NFL and not feel like I'm missing anything. Also don't do fantasy leagues.
That said most of the people I know in south Alabama are who DAT fans and North of the ham are dirty birds.

I live in Florida, we have 3 NFL teams, 2 MLB, 2 NHL, 2 NBA. I would rather be a fan of Bama football then our teams. I mean shit, they have Jacksonville St over there.

There has never been an attempt to put an NFL team in Bham. A real one would probably do alright, for a small market team. But the State of Alabama is the epicenter of big time college football and people will not support some bush-league pro team.
We do have a pro football team. They are called the Crimson Tide.

Oh Pee, what are you talking about?
Bammer has a higher player payroll than 1/3 of the AFC. Been “professional hut hut since Saban came there” !!

Before all the woke bullshit I could have cared less about football & after all the wokeness they can all fold! Ppl act like they worship these teams/players & the teams/players think they are gods! They actually believe that because they say or think a certain way that their "worshippers" will agree, like they have some great power over this universe. At the end of the day if they never played another game it would affect my life 0%. So no this Bama/Florida chick don't give a rats patoot about Bama getting a pro team.
They only have to share the spotlight with Little BrAUther. Sweet gig. Iowa fans understand.

It just means I've never given a rip about the NFL. I tried to consider myself a Saints fan once in my 20s. But it doesn't really work like that. I just didn't feel invested.
Granted, if Alabama were to have an NFL team, I imagine the fanbase would be massive, loyal, and rabid. College football fans in Alabama like to say they aren't missing anything by not watching NFL, but I think that's a lot like an angry fatherless child saying they never wanted a dad anyway.

The entire NFL will soon just be a huge pro bowl for former Alabama players
There are only so many busts and tatts of the Big, Fat, Trashy Circus Elephant one can reasonably tolerate.....
