Having your favorite football team show up on HBO’s Hard Knocks has never really been considered a great thing.
First, it means they probably weren’t good last year. They probably missed the playoffs by a thread or were one of the worst teams in the league. And they’ve probably got a high profile rookie people are looking forward to watching because they had a high draft pick because, well, they stunk.
Plus, on top of all that, NFL players seem to generally hate being on television in the middle of training camp.
Yet, still, for some reason, there are a bunch of NFL fans weirdly upset that their team won’t be featured this year.
This year’s Hard Knocks will be an all-LA extravaganza featuring the Chargers and Rams, according to a report from Adam Schefter.
There were a bunch of fans on Twitter calling for different teams to be featured.
Then, there was another bunch of (more reasonable) fans complaining that they had to watch the Rams again. They were also featured in 2016 ahead of Jared Goff’s rookie season.
Maybe they’ll pick differently next year, y’all. Who knows?
Although, with the way things are now because of coronavirus, there might not even be a Hard Knocks to complain about this summer. We’ll see.
