NFL salary cap turned me off in mid-90s


I loved, loved the NFL as a kid and as a young adult. A big part of it was cheering for players who stayed with the Redskins a long time. The salary cap changed that. Now players got what they could, for 3-4 years, and were gone. The last players I really liked were Art Monk and Darrell Green (still have their jerseys). After that, I couldn't just cheer for the logo on a helmet. Fantasy football kept me at least watching the NFL until about 2005. Then I dropped it, and have been 100 percent college ever since. I'm not bothered by college players staying for 3-4 years because I went to VT and I do root for the logo and the school. I still think it is sad when I see people here wearing jerseys of Bronco players who came for a few years and then left. Also, Dan Snyder and his free agent signings. I'll never forgive signing Deion.
