The NFL cares more about selling you stuff than actual football

The NFL has become so overly commercialized that it sometimes feels like the actual game is just an excuse to bombard you with ads and merchandise. Every touchdown celebration is sponsored, every replay is brought to you by someone, and don’t even get me started on how they’ve turned player uniforms into walking billboards. I love football, but the constant focus on the business side is exhausting. We get 11 minutes of actual gameplay stretched into a 3+ hour commercial marathon, and somehow the league thinks this enhances the experience. The sport itself is incredible entertainment, but all the corporate nonsense often overshadows what should be pure love of the game. Sometimes I just want to watch football without being sold something every 30 seconds. Is that too much to ask? #NFL #NFLUnpopularOpinion

NFL Teams should always go for two-point conversions, never extra points

Nobody should ever go for extra points in the NFL - it should always be a two-point conversion. Think about it: if you know you’re always going for two, you’ll develop dozens of red zone plays and get constant practice at the goal line. You only need to convert 50% of them to break even with extra points. The math is simple - extra points are worth 1 point at roughly 95% success rate, while two-point conversions are worth 2 points at roughly 48% success rate. That’s basically identical expected value, except going for two gives you the upside of scoring more points and forces defenses to prepare for your goal line package every single touchdown. The conservative extra point is just leaving points on the table. #NFLUnpopularOpinion #NFL
