Absolutely incorrect. At least one of the most conservative TDers lists these as "the spy in the living room". As long as I'm still here, no 100%.

I have been an LSU fan since birth. My grandfather and my stepfather played football for LSU. I literally teethed on an LSU game ball. Don’t get to talk to my stepfather much anymore but we always call each other Saturday morning before the game to talk about the team and make our predictions. Our family currently has our 5th generation attending and we have our family reunion at a huge tailgate once a year.
LSU means a lot more to me than what’s happening right now. I’m not going to love every knee jerk reaction that hits us this year but I’m not going to knee jerk react in return and walk away from something that’s been a true family bonding experience my entire life.
I walked away from the Saints and the NFL and didn’t really miss it. I’m not willing to give up family tailgates or watch parties with family & friends for something that will trend out within a year.

It is screwed up to bitch about something or someone and then give them your money.
I am beginning to think there is a lot of Republicans who are coming close to being as stupid as Democrats.

But. For me individually. Even if no one joins me. I start exercising self respect immediately

venture to guess that most who actually do throw in the towel on their college team never actually went to college there

This is true
The reality is 100% cutoff is nearly impossible. But just because 100% is impossible doesn't mean one can't make choices whatever choices present themselves.
That's the trap most people fall into. The whole "if I can't go all-in I just won't do anything" logic. Well that's silly.

I will forget about football and just concentrate on porn.

I’m saying now that I won’t watch the NFL, buys it’s hineksrly probably 50/50 if I go through with it. I just now myself and I’ll probably forget all this by September. Assuming that it finally settles own a bit.

The ratings for the NFL draft say different.

Boycotting Pro sports Is easy. I haven’t watched a complete game on tv in four years. I did watch over half of the Saints loss to the Rams and that was it for me.
I did watch much of the second half of LSU’s season last year because that team was special for reasons besides just football. They were underdogs and it was fun to watch that offense. We’ll see....
What is hard is boycotting businesses. No more amazon and other businesses is tough because of time and convenience. It will take some planning to figure out how.

"Yeah, I opt out of Google/Apple when I can. I don't use them for anything except: every single bit of communication with my social network, all my pictures, my calendar, my entertainment and tracking the distances I walk/run as well as my vital signs in real time".

Soon college will be doing the same thing. It’s already started with those two shiteheads at Clemson. They caved and changed the name of a building. You will start to see this all over wait and see

They pulled their backing of the NRA.
And I’m a big NRA donor.
As a cooler/outdoors company, their move made no sense; it was entirely political.

This thread gave me some nice laughs.

My favorites are the people that go on Twitter and Facebook and constantly bitch about Twitter and Facebook.

Ok, Yeti gets my vote for the company that doesn’t understand their customer base the most

It should be obvious to you by now if you have a functioning brain-cell that you support a Party who has abandoned all pretense and are now openly advocating the sort of vile tactics used by the Nazis.
You are scum if you continue to support them....
Shouldn't you be burning down a Wendy's?
