THE NFL’S PLAYOFF SYSTEM IS A RIGGED, UNWATCHABLE JOKE. While fans pay billions, teams are OPENLY THROWING GAMES and RESTING STARS, making a mockery of the sport’s competitive integrity. The Seattle Seahawks may have clinched the top seed, but the ENTIRE POSTSEASON LANDSCAPE is now a CALCULATED FARCE designed for television revenue, not football.
Look at the NFC South DISGRACE. A team with a LOSING RECORD—the 8-9 Buccaneers or Panthers—will be CROWNED DIVISION CHAMPION and host a playoff game. This isn’t competition; it’s a PITY PARTY for mediocrity, funded by YOUR ticket and merchandise dollars. Meanwhile, the Chargers are BENCHING franchise QB Justin Herbert, the Eagles are SITTING Jalen Hurts, and other “contenders” are treating the final week like a PRESEASON SCRIMMAGE. They are SPITTING on the very concept of a regular season.
The AFC is a labyrinth of MANIPULATED SCENARIOS where the top seed could be decided by a team that doesn’t even try to win. This league has become a SCRIPTED REALITY SHOW where outcomes are predetermined by rest schedules and cowardly coaching decisions. The message is clear: player health and strategic tanking are MORE IMPORTANT than giving fans an honest product.
As you prepare to watch this weekend’s charade, ask yourself one horrifying question: When did America’s most popular sport decide that the pursuit of victory was BAD FOR BUSINESS?
