[img] http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...le-national-anthem-monday-preseason-game[/imv I guess the >15% drop in viewership last year didn't teach these azzholes anything. I've said many times, I'm not a football fan, but a lifelong Steeler fan. No more! I'm beyond tired and disgusted with these morons politicizing pro sports, and mightily sick of the constant leftist attacks on the country I love. Enough's enough for me. I'm done. I did hear that Jerry Jones forbid his players from showing such dis-respect. Time for the other owners to feel the pinch or man up. 7mm

I also am planning on writing a letter to the league, and the Pittsburgh Steelers informing them of my decision to no longer support their enterprise.

With Kaepernick's antics being allowed I quit watching anything NFL.
It surprised me. Kaepernick was a nice kid when I met him at UNR. He was my stepson's neighbor. He got in with a bad crowd while with the 'niners, and I think some drugs got abused.
Anyway, he and the NFL can K M A now. I prefer to watch mid major college teams.

I completely agree with you.
I'm not a football fan either, I never watch it.
What really chaps my ass about pro football. is that they want the town where the stadium is located to pay for a lot of its construction under the premise that it "brings in revenue" expecting the local people to pick up the tab by being taxed. While those overpaid players make millions.

Lots of things to hate about the NFL, this is just one more...
At least Kaeperdick was a has-been. The Browns, really? One of the few never-beens in the NFL despite all the rules designed to achieve parity.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

We boycotted the NFL last year for the same reasons.
We did watch the superbowl, with Brady and Bellichek as Trump fans, we couldn't resist.
We'll boycott this year as well...

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Been doing it for years. I just don't care for the people that play now.

Won't watch a minute of it, won't watch any highlights of it and will turn off any radio coverage of it. Football is entertainment. It should be an escape. A place we can leave all the crap behind. I do not appreciate the NFL allowing its venues to become a place for polarizing political protest.

Why should I listen to that guy, "Ya know"?
NO NFL for me !
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

I think the owners need to step up like Jones & give them an ultimatum. Goodell needs to tell the networks to keep the cameras off them & tell the stupid female reporters to quit interviewing them on what they are protesting about, who gives a sh**. I am a Broncs fan & so far so good & hope it stays that way. Brandon Marshall didn't take to long to change his mind last year.

The reporters and the NFL have step into politics. Stupid venture. They shouldn't cover it, or acknowledge it and it would have gone away.

Jerry Jones stopped that nonsense before it even started in Dallas last year. He pays those players as professionals and expects them to act same.

If you want to get their attention sign up for NFL Game Pass and cancel before the trial period ends. ![[Linked Image]](https://s19.postimg.org/c9xivr60j/IMG_4615.jpg)

Couldn't care less about the NFL. Just what you'd expect for products of left wing colleges.

I don't watch much now.
But when Eli retires, I'm likely done completely.

Not really watched games for years.
Seems like the "Not For Long" went bad when they started getting away from it being a sport.
While i am not a fan of the cowboys i do have to give a head nod to jerry for the way he handled this last year.
