If your state can’t support a professional franchise of any kind, do you still watch games at the trailer park?

Where are these games played at in our trailer park and who is playing them?

I imagine you would watch them on TV using your satellite dish.

No. Unless it’s a Derrick Henry game.

I can’t get them with rabbit ears and aluminum foil?

I don't.

But it has nothing to do with where teams are located and everything to do with the fact the NFL sucks donkey balls.

Btw, a big reason Alabama doesn't have an NFL team is because of college football and the dominance it has in the state.

Sorry you don't understand that.

The NFL must be scared to compete with the iron bowl

Not sure if having no pro team is worse than having to cheer for perennial bottom-feeders like the Saints and Pelicans.

We had a nice 16 year run with Brees. Never heard of the Pelicans

Meh, one Super Bowl is not “a nice 16 year run.”

Oh, but you’re a LSU fan. I guess that explains your low expectations and acceptance of those expectations.

Many of us follow the Saints. It keeps us grounded

They don't want to compete with Alabama/Auburn.

And even beyond that there is a commitment to college football that is unmatched in the country. The Birmingham area is the biggest market for college football viewership. Even when it's not Alabama or Auburn playing.

The NFL wants market dominance. They can't get it in Alabama.

I cheer for some Bama players. And whatever helps my fantasy team. But have no team I cheer for nor much interest in the NFL overall.

I like watching NFL games, I feel a sense of pride in the SEC players.
