Just hear it all the time about the league being "hurt" and being in "trouble". I just laugh. The NFL will shudder like a cow shaking off flies. But to really "hurt" is laughable.

I am a homer because it is by far my favorite sport to watch on TV, but it is much deeper. The NFL is perfect in its setup for fans, advertising, and GAMBLING. Any sponsor that runs away will crawl back quietly.

If there have been 50 threads already about this then I am sorry.

What they did was simply window dressing to get on the public's side of the issue while still doing business with the NFL.

NFL is pretty much wal mart at this point. A sponsor would be foolish to give up that ad time.

none of us are prepared to do what is necessary to get Goodell out... that is simply stop watching the NFL... loss of viewership would send a clear message, while affecting his employers in a way that would cause them to reconsider him as Comissioner...

Did/does Roger Goodell really affect your life this negatively that you'd stop watching the NFL?

That's B/c most of us don't give a shite. Roger has absolutely no effect on my life, and another suit replacing him, would have equally less effect.

So why would I want to completely ruin my fall by boycotting the best product on television? Outside of NO, and maybe Baltimore, no one cares enough.

Nfl may still swing a big dick but its a smaller dick today than last year. Owners don't like their dicks to shrink.

The way they are transitioning the game to be "less violent" is what NFL really needs to be worried about. Nobody wants to see a zillion flags every week.

Radisson Hotels severed their agreement with the Vikings.

Proctor & Gamble/Crest has pulled out


Covergirl has had to deal with this


AP was put on the exempt list within hours of McDonald's releasing their statement-(all of which was done after the 11pm EST news)

quote:

"Domestic violence and abuse are unacceptable behaviors and have no place in sports, or anywhere,” McDonald’s said in a statement. “As McDonald’s is a family brand, we’ve communicated our concerns to the league, and we expect it to take strong and necessary actions to address these issues.”

This. I laugh at the people who say they are gonna quit watching just because some guy who is never on the field did something wrong. I laugh because 1) They're lying and wont stop watching and 2) If they do stop watching they are letting some jackass ruin their form of entertainment when it has zero to do with them

I dont care what Goodell or any of the NFLs businessmen do, ill still watch cause i like watching football

Unreal that people think a company will quit the NFL for any reason other than the return on the ad is less than its cost . P&G won't furnish the mouth pieces for a month of games. Trust me. They did the math. That's all they dropped.
