QUOTE OF THE DAY
LA Times
THE MORNING BREW Too much attention goes to the NFL
Would I be wrong to say that the NFL is truly something amazing? I mean there really
Would I be wrong to say that the NFL is truly something amazing? I mean there really is nothing like spending a Sunday with friends, having a couple of beers and watching the testosterone levels of grown men soar through the roof. Nothing about the NFL seems to aggravate us, even the Super Bowl's blackouts. Well, except for one thing. One thing does aggravate me: the amount of publicity the NFL receives.
The NFL Draft starts tonight, and I was unfortunate enough to be reminded about it because of all the coverage media outlets like ESPN have being give it. At times, we forget that there are more important things that should be covered in the sports world — like the NBA playoffs, or how the city of Boston is still recovering from the bombings.
As an example of how much the NFL is publicized, let's take a look at the Super
Bowl. Year after year, sports fans, average people, everyone gathers around the television for nearly five hours to sit on the couch and watch something so overhyped that it makes nearly all other news go unnoticed.
People often state that the Super Bowl is the biggest game in all of sports, as it is one of the most watched television events all year. Yet, it is because we as a society allow it to be. We make sure that
everyone watches it, regardless of their interest level, and we practically make it a national holiday.
Here's another example regarding: the NDraft. Every year, ESPN's SportsCenter does a segment called "Gruden's QB Camp," where analyst Jon Gruden meets with the top quarterbacks of that year's draft and breaks down film with them. However, this year was a little different. Gruden brought in players like Manti Teo, a defensive player, because apparently there were not enough "top quarterbacks" in this year's draft.
Is that what it really game down to, bringing in players that do not even fit the title of the segment to keep the hype and anticipation of the draft? I guess that is what happens when you build a certain standard and expectation for your audience. Regardless of what kind of players appear on the segment, there is so much information thrown at the average sports
fan through all of the in-depth analysis, they cannot even comprehend what they are listening to.
I understand I might just be saying all of this because I am from Los Angeles, so I did not grow up with a professional football team in my city. Nonetheless, I have never understood why not just the NFL but football in general receives so much publicity and attention. It is just another sport. Maybe I will understand when the NFL comes to Los Angeles, if it ever does.
