Let's start a discussion. Mine is that fantasy football ruined regular football for some people. I see guys get mad about actual games because it affects their fantasy points instead of just enjoying the sport. Also three hour games with 15 minutes of actual gameplay need to get fixed but that's a whole other thing. What's something sports related that annoys you guys?
Fantasy football definitely changed how people watch games. Not sure if ruined is the right word but it split the attention for sure.
You're not wrong about some people getting obsessed with fantasy over actual football. But I also think it got a lot of casual fans way more into football who otherwise wouldn't care about it. So maybe it's a wash.
My unpopular opinion: baseball is way more entertaining than football and people just don't give it a real chance anymore. You actually get to watch strategy unfold.
I think the real unpopular opinion is that defense has gotten too soft. Every other play is a flag now and it's making the games kind of unwatchable compared to how they were in the 90s.

Hard disagree but I respect the take. I've seen some friends get way too into the points and stats side and miss the actual drama of the game happening in front of them. They're on their phone checking lineups instead of watching key plays.
