(Parody) Alliance of American Football leaders don’t understand why they have low viewerships

Spring football season has started in professional sports. 

The new Alliance of American Football (AAF) began its first season last week, with eight teams spread throughout the country. 

It opened with high ratings and few viewers.

The reason for this is simple: only one game was stationed on a local TV network. The rest were on premium TV stations that Americans have to pay extra in order to watch their content. 

“I don’t understand it,” a senior AAF official said at a press conference when asked about the league’s low viewer ratings. “We worked really hard to make more money off this league by signing exclusive broadcast deals with CBS and the NFL.”

The AAF’s trend of broadcasting more games on premium TV stations will continue this weekend for Week 2 of the season, with three of the four games being played on either the NFL Network or CBS Sports Network. The Salt Lake City Stallions and Birmingham Iron game, which airs at 2pm tomorrow, February 16, on TNT, is the only game on a regular channel. 

Starting in Week 3, all AAF games will be broadcasted on premium channels. 

Football fans are turning away from the AAF with anger or indifference. Many refuse to pay the extra money to watch AAF games in Spring.

In fact, studies show that more people are dropping or refusing to pay for premium channels like CBS Sports Network or the NFL Network. 

“There’s no way I’m gonna pay extra just to watch NFL has-beens and wannabes playing football in the spring,” one football fan said when asked about the AAF. 

“Yeah, I’m just gonna wait until the NFL starts its 2019 season in august,” another young adult football fan told reporters. 
 
A fourth football fan said he got rid of his subscription to the NFL Network ever since disgraced NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick first started kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem. “Disrespecting the Star-Spangled Banner is anti-American and anti-military,” the man said. “I’m never paying extra to watch professional football games ever again.”

The NFL started getting back its integrity back during the 2018 season, when the kneeling protests stopped. 

Meanwhile, the rebooted XFL football league, which starts its first season next year in 2020, is pleased with the low ratings from the AAF.

“Since the AAF refuses to broadcast most of their games on local networks or regular TV networks, we are going to have access to more viewers by going exclusively with Fox, ESPN, and other cable networks that want to stream our games,” an XFL spokesman said at a press conference. “So it doesn’t matter that the AAF started a year before us. “We’re still gonna be the better spring football league.”

The AAF streaming controversy is expected to affect online-streaming services as many Americans refuse to subscribe to other streaming services trying to compete with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
