Boomers have boycotted lots of stuff with no affect. Nike, Yeti etc

My guess is an NFL boycott by anger old guys won’t matter.

I took issue with the NFL when they denied the request of the Dallas Cowboys to wear a decal on their helmets to honor the officers killed in their community. They said it violated a strict uniform policy. But its totally ok to wear social justice themed decals. The NFL drew that line in the sand and I won’t cross it.

THE ONE thing Americans should never do is disrespect the American flag...But those players have the right to do that and we fans or ex fans, have the right to boycott the players.

Since the NFL supports BLM with cash donations .I have no use for them.Since The Players who kneel during the Anthem and their owners do nothing about it.I have no use for them.Since they are overpaid spoiled individuals who have been catered to for most of their life.I have no use for them.This would not have been put up during the Lombardi era.All participating would have been chit canned.JMHO,Huntz

I'm sure the marketing team in the head office has done the homework, and realize they don't need the audience that they might lose, and they will gain more young audience.

The sports and entertainment worlds have pretty much merged. It's a different thing now.

Myself, I've never been a sports fan of any type, but I see a big change even from my seat.

Some people can literally rationalize anything. It's like listening to Democrat politicians arguing for welfare programs. Yeah a bunch of people are just stealing free schit from the rest of us but some people really need it... You have to take a stand one way or the other. The organization as a whole is condoning and sometimes celebrating absolutely disgusting and anti American behavior- period. Oh, but everyone doesn't do it. So what??? Many do and will, and nothing is done about it because people keep enabling the behavior with their money. As long as people keep rationalizing and financing the behavior the NFL will never change. And you will always be part of the problem, not part of the solution. Man up and at least take ownership of your role.

Sports has merged with Disney, and names like Beyoncé and Jay-z.

It's all about selling merchandise, and mindsets. And it's not targeted to us boomers (dinosaurs).

Will the NFL be responsible hero's and wear masks while they play? After all this deadly, exponential, virus can only be combated by universal adherence to social distancing and mask use.
As the honorable athletes they profess to be, this surely will be the new normal.

Taking advantage of a God given gift (athleticism) even if you weren't blessed with a genius IQ. Flip the script: no one is lambasting the folks who are PhD's who throw a baseball like a girl.

What about the NFL players that SERVED? What about Alejandro Villanueva? What about Pat Tillman, who gave his life? What about the kids (back, white, or otherwise) who won a scholarship to an Ivy League school and made it to the NFL?

And then there is this..... It is really the crux of the author's ENTIRE intent:

The author is painting the ENTIRE NFL player pool with one, broad stroke. Pretty revealing.

Pizz poor attempt, but some here are all aboard, hook, line, and sinker. We (conservatives) think the left is the "cancel culture" but half the folks here jump on board with this drivel and prove it goes both ways.

Surprise! There are PLENTY of well educated, respectful, law-abiding, God-fearing, conservative players in the NFL.

But you've never know it.




With all due respect you're really out of touch. Your justification at this point in the current world events shows epic idiocy ...

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


Ask me when an entire team kneels.


The NBA shows you a glimpse you dipshit. The ones who actually stand (like 2 dudes out of 6 teams or something) are the ones having to defend their stance, their lives, their income amidst blatant BS you're defending. Get a clue you dumbass....

For anyone to defend MLB, NFL or the NBA at this time is really really enlightening.

There are "good" pro football players. Drew Brees and J.J. Watt come to mind and I am sure there are others.

However, the situation has two problems. The players kneeling, as bad as that is, is the minor one. The fact that the NFL as a corporate entity FUNDS BLACK LIVES MATTER which is a Marxist terrorist organization openly intent on destroying our country is the MAJOR one.

I say everyone do what you want to do. I am not a big believer in the effectiveness of boycotts but I simply DO NOT want to watch them anymore.

If we quit going to and watching games, they won’t have as much as a revenue source. Stop buying products that are advertised on games. Write those companies and let them know that.

Teach young people that the NFL cares little for the American veteran, alive and deceased. Show them why.

There is nothing saying that another league can be built. In the meantime, go to a high school game. I didn’t see a single act of disrespect all of the last two years in going to them.
