      You may have mentioned it before but what made you leave the fandom world?

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Wasn't really a conscious choice, just lost interest. Why did I lose interest? The NFL got to a point where it was too frustrating to watch, and the emotional investment in my team was giving predictable negative returns. Too much arbitrary officiating that held way too much sway over the outcomes. Too many player injuries, taking your favorite players out of games for weeks or seasons at a time. Difficulty even watching the games because of the NFL's relentless monetization schemes. The realization about the subject of this thread, that the fans care more about the franchise than the players do. Which I guess should be obvious, but it's a downer.

        Education is extremely important.
