OT: A reason pro football is losing fans

[Redding Husky]

I don't feel a connection to pro sports. I live down the street from Gillette Stadium and have season tickets for the Pats and I go to very few games. In fact, I would stop paying the $200 per seat per game (no kidding) except my kids like to go. I like UCONN sports because I feel connected to UCONN. I'm proud to have been raised in CT and served in the CT Army National Guard. The Pats will welcome me as long as I have room on my (UCONN) Visa.

I agree. I've rooted for the Patriots (41 years) and Cubs (50 years) for a long time, but I don't have the same passion for them that I have for UConn.

The rule changes are very inconsistent , whats a catch vs whats not a catch, penalties, celebration penalties I think it just makes the refs job harder then it should be which has an impact on the game, the NHL has it right with (and thats with 4 times as many games) some one from upstairs makes the calls on replay and boom done its play on.
