When Ballers returns for its fourth season on Sunday, the show will pick up right where it left off in a semi-fictional world that very closes resembles the actual current state of the NFL.
The HBO original has found a way to touch on almost every pressing issue in today’s NFL while also addressing common troupes that play out every year within the league. From working in a storyline about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas to showing how veteran players deal with free agency at the end of their careers, the show has attempted to provide insight into many of the most interesting topics surrounding the game.
