Dale Earnhardt Jr. is my hero.In all honesty, I believe his voice to be one of the most relatable and intelligent in all of NASCAR. He serves as a conduit between the decision-makers and the fans.
There’s one per sport, and I think Dale Jr. is the greatest of them all. There might not even be a close second, in my opinion.
Well, I’m positive that none exist. Dale is first, followed by everyone else. Thus, please understand that I’m not making things simple for myself. I say this with seriousness. Although I dislike saying it, it must be spoken.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a comment about NASCAR and the NFL that I believe to be among the dumbest things I have ever heard. The sport would perish if it followed his advice. cease to exist. That would be the end of NASCAR. Put it down and declare it a career.
Dale made the nonchalant suggestion that NASCAR play the NFL in the fall.Man to man.Green flags at 1 PM versus kickoffs at 1 PM. Let the audience choose what they wish to watch.
To be the best, you have to beat the best, according to Earnhardt:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesn’t want the NFL smoke
Holy cow, you will not hear a worse idea today. It’s just not possible.
The NFL is supreme. It’s absurd how much it outperforms everything else in terms of revenue and television viewership. Everything is declining in terms of TV ratings these days, with the exception of football.
Yes, I’m also including college football because, starting this weekend, they will dominate Saturdays for the next four months. Each year, the fancy folks in the graphics department produce a chart that displays the content that viewers watched during that year. And there are 50 things that are the same every year: football, football, and more football.
The WNBA has been doing great ratings this summer. People are thrilled about it. Congrats!
Guess what? You won’t hear a peep from them starting in a few weeks.
Which is precisely what occurs with NASCAR in the autumn. Labor Day weekend marks the beginning of the playoffs, after which football season officially begins and viewers stop tuning in.
It’s ridiculous and a disgrace to drivers, fans, and the sport. I have long maintained that the schedule ought to terminate at the beginning of football season. The most well-liked driver in the sport, Chase Elliott, has already advanced that claim.
He’s accurate. And I am, too. Even if he’s clever, Dale Earnhardt Jr. blundered here. The NFL smoke is not what he wants. I swear. Avoid confronting the king. Hell, quit criticizing football in general.
