Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Open Letter to NFL Players, the Boycott is Coming

I don’t think that anyone here at any time said that 100% are racist thugs. The problem is with the organization itself that tolerates such blatant disrespect, even aligns with it and encourages it.

That is the problem.

Been boycotting the NFL for years. Never watched NASCAR, MLB or the NBA anyway. If colleges start doing this [bleep] will stop watching them. No problem at all.

Wish I could help, but I'd just as soon watch grass grow as watch mostly black folks fight over a ball. Never understood the fascination of watching ball games. Shooting and fishing I'm into, but never a ball game unless I'm trapped somewhere that has one on TV. Can't boycott something you never bought in the first place.

Yep...

I agree not all professional athletes are spoiled pricks. It is just easier to identify them now, they are the ones squatting during the National Anthem when they should be standing. We all should be free to express ourselves and stand up for what we believe in but disrespecting our country and the brave ones who protect us is not the way to go.

Would it be more entertaining if they were mostly white?

Very serious question.

Very well said. I agree.

Well said. And idiots like Kaperdick who can't find a job make me smile!

Not all are but there is a majority that are.

They seem to forget that the folks with enough money are the ones that are pissed at this.

Nascar lost me when Bubba did his thing because i never thought of him as just a black driver.

Now because of things the bosses did i no longer want to have anything to do with them.

They have a right to express their opinion but folks have the right to spend their own money the way they see fit.

Any protests should have been off the field because there is no place for that there.

They will learn.

Free market, are you kidding? Goodell makes 40 million dollars a year and he and his office/workers have tax exempt status. You’re joking right. He sucks at the helm and I would also blame the owners. We all know what BLM is, a Marxist anti American Org and Goodell thinks this view is pro America. Good luck selling that. You’re going to see the death of professional athletics as we know it. Do you actually think Antifa and BLM work hard for their money and spend $8k on season tickets or even watch sports on TV. Goodell is an idiot as he doesn’t even realize his audience. There is no place for political protest at work, I dare others to try it in their place of employment. Professionals in sports can buy an editorial page and write thousands of words on their political and social views on their own dime and time, that’s fine with me. Don’t bring it to the job, just shut the F up and play ball.

Ditka told TMZ Sports: “If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country. That’s the way I feel. Of course, I’m old fashioned, so I’m only going to say what I feel.”

Ditka has done more for FORMER NFL players (even the black players), than the NFL and NFLPA with his own organization.

He's been labelled a racist now...

David Mulugheta, who is the president of Athletes First which represents Aaron Rodgers, Derwin James, and Earl Thomas among others, took issue with Ditka’s comments.

“This doesn’t surprise me at all. Mike Ditka traded his helmet in for a white hood as soon as he retired from football. Racism hiding behind faux patriotism is still racism"

[bleep] the NFL and its greed.

When the National Anthem is played, and the entire team now kneels, how do you determine which are the Conservative ingrates?

No, I'm not, and you are about to make my point:




Hey. If you don't like it.................. Don't watch it. It is REALLY that simple. And free market 101.

Ask me when an entire team kneels.

No, I don't like ball games, and while I once felt bad for black people (I was raised in cotton country in the 50s) I am very fatigued with them now as a group. But I just don't like watching ball games. You apparently do, that's ok.

I won’t be attending or watching. My team won the SB and I have forfeited my season ticket purchase and will not be watching. Like you say that’s my choice I do not have to pay to attend a re-education camp weekly prior to kickoff, to that I say to the NFL [bleep].

Sporting leagues don't make anything tangible, they are entertainment, so they are just another venue to moving money from one set of hands to another. All the beer and hot dogs that are sold at sporting events will still be sold, just in different places, as we will soon see when the games are played in empty stadiums. COVID-19 might kill professional sports 'cause fans will see how much they're getting screwed by the teams for tickets, parking, and concessions when they can't go to games and get out of the habit.

The only professional sport that I follow is the NFL and I only follow the NFL for betting purposes. I don't care what the players do on the field, I just care about the teams that I bet on that week win for me.

I like watching football.

To be 100% clear:

I 100% support anyone who does not like sports, for any reason. IDGAF.

And I 100% support someone who likes any sport, for any reason. More power to you.

And I 100% disagree with anyone who judges anyone else for their decisions, above. It is a free country.

Pretty much sums up my position. To each his own.

It's not like we are debating the KKK vs. Black Panthers ping pong world championships.

Oh man. You have not seen the attacks on me for the exact same position????

Buckle up!!!

No conservative here thinks others should wager their money as they feel fit.....
