We love football.
We have questions.
Football Is Stupid is a love letter to a great sport’s worst decisions.
The late flag. The unused timeout. The celebration before the goal line. The rule that apparently requires a graduate degree. We’re here for all of it.
Where we file the evidence
Refs, Coaches, Players, Rules, Fans, Bad Beats, Too Good Not to Share, and FU Pat. No team allegiance required. The only qualification is having shouted “what are we doing?” at a screen.
Our ground rules
We criticize decisions, not people’s humanity. No harassment, slurs, doxxing, or directing abuse at players, officials, or fans. Humor is subjective; our ratings are editorial opinions, not scientific measurements.
Real incident coverage should link to its source, separate fact from commentary, and be corrected when we get something wrong. Fictional examples are explicitly labeled. Third-party videos and posts belong to their respective owners; we link or embed rather than re-upload them.
Unofficial. Unaffiliated. Unreasonably invested.
We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the NFL, NCAA, any team, broadcaster, or betting operator. Bad Beats is entertainment and commentary, not betting advice or a place to place wagers.
