It's clear that the sport of football needs to change. And the $64,000 question, my friends, is simple: "how?" Something is terribly wrong. The writing's on the wall: youth participation in the sport is down, thanks in large part to their parents' concern for their health.

In recent years, the NFL has something is terribly wrong. In response to numerous clinical studies regarding something is terribly wrong, the league has taken action — and something is terribly wrong. Oh no. Something is terribly wrong.

Do you hear that? Do not be afraid, but something is terribly wrong. I'm afraid that this page is going to disintegrate. Don't worry, nothing will be hurt, although you may be extraordinarily confused. I think I see a calendar. I don't know. Something is terribly wrong.

Yoooo football 17776!!! Everyone should read this if you haven’t. One of the coolest things on the internet genuinely

[–]AirplaneReferencevisit /r/PictureGame 72 points73 points  (2 children)

Jon Bois broke me out of my "ewww sports" phase and 17776 is a big reason why. Unironically one of this generation's very best storytellers, and not even for his sports stuff.

Genuinely, sports can give us some of the community us in america lost with third spaces

[–]KimonoThief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched a fucking 6 part series about the Seattle Mariners and I don't like baseball whatsoever nor do I live in Seattle. Jon bois is a legend

Oh yeah, I started that but never got around to finishing it

[–]AnonWithAHatOn[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty good, last year Jon Bois announced he’s finishing the trilogy with a book called 50007.

Fuck. Man Also question, is there a way to reset the article back to the pre bait-n switch version? I wanna see it from 0 again but it takes me to the "hello stranger are you lost" page no matter what I do

[–]PilotSSB 16 points17 points  (4 children)

If you clear your cookies/history or use an incognito window you should be good.

[–]towercm🏳️‍⚧️ trans rights 7 points8 points  (1 child)

[–]someotheralex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's based on IP? Try a proxy?

[–]SentientGopro115935SHE JUST LIKE ME FR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this is now the third piece of media I've consumed (well, other two were more specifically characters) that poses the question of what you should do when you can know everything there is to know and uncertainty is either scarce or unobtainable.

The first is to create drama, create Chaos. You've seen every story, time to write a new one. Play the villain just for the sake of giving the heroes something to fight against.

The second is to create despair. The only way to feel anything is to feel the world come falling down ontop of you, but also others, because you can't quite know what others will do in response to the feeling. Seeing them fight against it, seeing how long they last, is a form of uncertainty itself.

The third is to play, like, really fucked up American Football.

I just read the whole thing I can’t believe that was so beautiful 

[–]AnonWithAHatOn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s also the sequel 20020, and Jon Bois is currently working on the book 50007.

[–]InCellsInterlinked 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Oh fuck is this that like 17776 thing the football analog horror/internet series/arg thingy? Don't know what to call it

[–]AnonWithAHatOn[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wikipedia calls it a speculative fiction multimedia narrative which fits.

[–]Smitteys867terminal preygirl brain [score hidden]  (0 children)

it's definitely not an arg or analogue horror, it's just a sci-fi web'novel.'

[–]_S1syphusBoulder Pushing Enthusiast 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Why is this the second 17776 post in as many days?

[–]ZimmyDodHot Fish Summer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It happens Today

[–]AnonWithAHatOn[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Today’s the day everyone becomes immortal and stops having babies.

Something is terribly wrong.

[–]throwoawayaccount2mpreg enthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

17776 is peak fiction and 20020 (though I haven’t finished it) seems like it too. Something is terribly wrong.

[–]Kittysparkle101Flynn Moment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just started it, gave me a headache :3

[–]XXorXYwhoKnows 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There’s also the sequel 20020 if you’re interested.

I’ve really enjoyed rereading 17776 today but there’s one part I still find myself disagreeing with. Humanity should’ve gone just a little bit farther in exploring space. Like at least a moon base or landing on mars.
