Coddled and overpaid, just like the Hollywood crowd. Haven't scene a movie in over 40 years. My sock drawer is going to look well kept.

Or, you can go to their feedback/complaint page and explicitly tell them that you are not watching due to the anthem protests...

Steelere have an ex Army Combat Ranger on the team, Alejandro Villanueva. If he wasn't there I wouldn't place money on someone not sitting down. Nor do I think the Rooney's would concern themselves over it.

I'll still watch, but I'm not paying to watch and I'm not watching with the zeal I have in the past. Over the last few years I've had Game Pass and/or Sunday Ticket. Money is the language of the NFL. They're constantly angling to increase revenue. Selling 'premium' access to content is the latest strategy. I'm not buying.

I've been boycotting that freak show for over 5 years now. I don't even consider it a sport anymore. It's nothing but a giant soap opera circus combined with a reality show and I'm sick of hearing about it constantly 12 months of the year by rabidly salivating breathless media types. Which is yet another reason I can't stomach most media types. That mega-million dollar Hollywood circus just proves that P.T. Barnum was right when he came up with that "There's a sucker born every minute" comment. Football's a good game but I'll go watch a high school football game if I want to see football. I don't wish to see our so-called "family friendly" NFL activists acting in another episode of "NFL Drama Theater" which always seems to lean way too far to the left. I can only hope for the day that a few million more Americans start to wake up and get sick of that depressing side show. That's not a football league..... It's a political action committee.

Didn't watch a single game last season and won't watch them this season either. It goes well beyond just the Krapertwit deal. Lots of their players feel the same as he does as well. But more than that, the NFL has tried to twist city and state government arms over PC nonsense like the transgender bathroom bills in Texas and North Carolina.

I am an NFL fan. In 1957, as a high school senior, we played for our championship at Soldier's Field. So yes, I'm a football slut. The one point that I would like to make is those of you who are just not watching the NFL; are you making your Country proud of you? I mean-- does the NFL know how you feel? Football teams are owned by Owners or Owner Groups. However, the bottom line being to make money. Teams are really run by "bean counters". They are the ones who tell the owners about the money. Just boycotting the NFL does NOTHING. It is a selfish act on your part. What you need to do is to let your team know how you feel. Tell them that you will not buy a ticket to a home game. You will never buy a Jersey of your favorite player or spend another dime on that team as long as they let this nonsense go on. Tell them how you are getting everyone that you can to do the same. That way, you are hitting them back and they know that by allowing these kids to create a scene, they are taking money out of their own pockets. My next point is These 20 something children are out of touch with the rest of the world. They think that they are actually doing something that folks will see as a way to change things. Where in the World would they have such a life and all those millions? Except for "Allie" has any of them gone "down range" or "stood at the wire"? I have. Do you think that these misguided babies would "take a knee" at Arlington? Heck, I don't think that they even know what an honor it would be to end up there.
Tell your team that you are boycotting them if they let this crap continue. Let them know how you are going to do what you can to cost them money. That, they will understand.
The only other thing that I have often wondered about is did Dick Butkus actually bight Don Meredith in the bottom of a pile up?

Tough situation.

BLM, commies, et al., will be just as happy if white people boycott the NFL into extinction.

Another American icon gone, another great industry gone, part of traditional America gone.

The reason behind the "concussion" bullshit.

The reason behind the Anthem pussies.

Get Whitey to kill his own tradition, nothin could be more fun.

In what way does boycotting the NFL benefit me? ... I mean, other than football conflicting with deer hunting and fly fishing, of course. Just curious.
