No! Give me old any day! The new woke stuff sucks!

The old stuff was racist and misogynistic and disgusting. Have you watched any of that shit recently? there have been several we had to turn off because they were so inappropriate for young children.

For example?? I don't get it. You are really stretching for content now.

The Siamese stereotype cats. The racist stereotype of black people crows. The entirety of Song of the South.

This information is readily available on that phone you’re holding. Ignorance in the age of information is a choice.

those songs and movies have not been a thing for 40 years. Come on. Can you not get over anything. I would bet millions that your kids and their kids havent even heard of them

Meghan and Harry are pretty ordinary now that they have removed themselves from the UK.

I agree, but given that it is a huge moneymaker for everyone involved, it will never happen. For the same reasons, the NFL Draft is now a red carpet, network primetime event, which I think is incredibly stupid. BUT it's now a money-making venture and won't stop unless the dollars dry up.

NFL is the US’s biggest pro sport - CFB is arguably just as popular or even more so in certain areas - so the draft is an intersection of both sports plus a reality TV component when a prospect starts to fall in the draft or a team makes a reach or a last-minute trade. Idk as a football fan I definitely see the appeal. Plus it’s a way to give people NFL content in the middle of the off season. It’s really only the first day/first round that’s a red carpet circus, not the whole thing.

+1 It’s actually amazing that it was as low profile an event as it was for so long. It started at 8 am on Saturday and was only on ESPN for the longest time.

Giving out an award for art is quite different than an event that is basically HR announcing its hiring decision.

But as I said, unpopular opinion.

+1 I love the first night of NFL draft. Love the back stories. There’s an audience for it so they do it. That’s why ESPN has 24/7 sports center and 4-5 different channels. May not be for you but they have the numbers.

PP and I'm not disagreeing with the fact that there are people who will watch it. I'm certainly not interested, but I don't care about the NFL generally. I'm pointing out the silliness of making it a red carpet event, with celebrities in attendance being asked "what are you wearing?" and all that nonsense. Once the event becomes about something larger than the event itself -- that is, once there are interested sponsors and fashion houses and movie studios, all treating it like a big opportunity for promotion -- then it's very unlikely to go away, no matter what I or anyone else thinks about it.

That said, since the point of this post is unpopular opinions and mine apparently now qualifies, I'll give it: caring that much about a drafting event for professional sports is incredibly dumb, and you all need better hobbies.

Meh. No different than Golden Globes, Oscars, SAG, Grammys, MTV Music Awards, CMAs. One person’s love for country music stars is another person’s love for NFL.

They used to have something called Adult Contemporary music specifically for this reason, but that seems to have disappeared. There is so much gorgeous music out there and when I hear a 40 year old coworker listening to Lil Nas X I judge.

I judge people who think there’s an age limit for listening to particular music.

+1. These are probably the same idiots who are like I CAN’T CARRY A HOBO BAG ANYMORE I’M FORTY.

My unpopular purse opinion is that hobo bags are ugly and no one of any age should carry them.

With a hobo bag all my stuff is just jumbled into the bag. I like more structure where I can easily find what I need.

And when it is, it's set to Fox News, amirite?

Caitlyn Marie Jenner is an American media personality and retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete.

I don't think Caitlyn Jenner should claim to be an Olympic gold-medal winning decathlete. Bruce Jenner was awarded that Olympian distinction, not Caitlyn Jenner. And Caitlyn looks like a man.

I don’t even like football much, but I love seeing the back stories and the excitement of these young kids’ lives changed forever.

Agree on both counts, though I thought Jenny was quieter about it now? I haven’t been tracking.

NP. I don’t care for Fox News at all, but I agree with the PP. The demand for content is so great, but the majority of it is garbage. And the increasing reliance on shock value is just really off-putting.

I think Pete Davidson is hot + sexy.

I didn’t think Kylie Jenner was pretty pre-surgery.
I now think she is stunning.
Her big sister Kim was stunning AND exotic looking pre-surgery, now she just looks cookie cutter pretty.
Khloé looks like an insecure hot mess.

Only Kendall & Kourtney look natural.

SNL is a great sketch comedy show.

I think people who can identify all the Kardashians, much less have opinions on them, are in desperate need of something productive in their lives.

DP. Fox News? Huh? That doesn’t even make sense.

I agree with PP. There are network shows that are new that aren’t that funny these days. The only one that I sorta got a smile out of was Young Rock.

There's a difference between award shows honoring art (not that I think those are necessarily worth the millions of viewers they get each year) and what is essentially HR announcing its hiring decisions.

(Also, LOL at everyone jumping in to prove that my opinion is unpopular? Isn't that the point of this thread?)
