I don't watch many NFL games anymore, myself.
I used to watch all the games I could until losing interest a couple of years ago.
I've never had a simple answer for anyone who questioned my loss of interest in pro football.
Free agency leading (or not leading) to parity, owners assuming the roles of general managers and coaches, players being guaranteed top income without their being productive or sometimes even cooperative and the paradigm shift in the NFL's presentation from athletic competition to athletic entertainment were all part of the problem for me.
After the purer sport of high school and college football receives my attention on Friday and Saturday, I, like God, have decided to rest on the seventh day.
But all that was more than I cared to explain concerning something I now care so little about.
However, "sparity," a new word I recently saw invented by what I assume was a lucky misspelling, seems to cover it generally, nicely and simply.
So, "There's too much sparity" will be my answer to whoever asks me next.
BTW, in the sentence just above should it be "whoever" or "whomever?"
Should the word be "whomever" because it's the object of the preposition "to?"
Or "whoever" because it's the subject of the clause "whoever asks me next?"
I think the correct answer here is "whoever," am I right?
That's the question that's on my mind today.
In fact, I'd rather know the outcome of that matchup than spend my afternoon following the sparity-spoiled NFL playoffs.
