I haven’t watched the NFL in more than 25 years, and have never been much interested in any other pro sports.

It will hurt to not watch LSU football, but if they pander to BLM, I’m out.

I’ll always have last season to remember fondly .

I watched maybe 4-5 games last year, mostly just checked in for fantasy purposes. Of I'm not doing fantasy football it is easy not to check it out

I've watched maybe three or four NFL games since Kap started all this crap. Now that it's bleeding into college football, I'll stop watching that, too. My team usually sucks anyway, I'm just saving myself some agita.

This is very true.

The NFL was already struggling with its slice of the pie shrinking. 20-30 yr olds not interested. Difficulty with people not sitting for 3 hours to watch a game. Pile politics and controversy onto that?

They are floundering.

Professional sports have been getting more and more politicized with players making tens of millions of dollars whining like juveniles for years about all of their personal injustices. Add the billionaire owners to the group for taxpayers subsiding their wealth with hundreds of millions in subsidizes and new stadiums.
Time to show all of them that they really have no importance in the big pictures of life.
Turn off the TV and do not spend a cent on any professional team merchandise.
Let the ratings and sales plummet.

Ratings were down the last time the kneeling occurred. Ratings saw an uptick once an agreement was made about not kneeling.

I am a lifelong Rams fan. I do not watch live games anymore.

The NFL has made it quite easy to boycott by creating an unwatchable product. It was already on the downslope with silly rule changes, too many penalties, commercial breaks every 5 minutes, blatantly rigged games.

Throw in political pandering and alienating 80% of your fanbase the NFL has now successfully dismantled one of the greatest businesses in the world.

I haven't watched the league intensively for about 25 years. The entire extent of my viewing for the last 6 years has been in bars or restaurants that I just happen to be in at the time the game is on.
My childhood and early adolescence was in the 1960s and I adored the the Green Bay Packers of that era. A lot of those guys were far from angels (see Tulane's Max MeGee, LSU's Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung, among many others), but I'd have no problems with my kids emulating them whatsoever. These guys were not as big, fast, or athletic as todays pro and major college players, but they played the game much, much better. It was pure football, without the show bitz and self indulgence on the part of the players. No way could these bigger, faster, and SOFTER malcontents play for Vince Lombardi.

I can easily quit watching the NFL. College will probably be a shitshow too. I just hope my local high school coach sticks to his guns on the kneeling thing. My kids attend the same high school I went to and Friday nights in the Fall are part of the fabric of our family. I'd hate to see that end worse than not watching college or pro football.

Mostly stopped watching years ago, so I guess that’s a boycott. Just don’t like the product. Now even less.

The nfl is smart and while I feel they made a major blunder yesterday with little discussion and explanation they still are pushing ahead... they understand more than any other sport that in the end they are expendable... if they don’t get a quality product on the field this year they run a serious risk of losing serious ground and growth in the future.. they understand that many in their core audience are realizing that while life without sports is different, we are finding other forms of entertainment that will cut straight into their pockets...

I didn't watch or play fantasy football last year and didn't miss it in the least. It's honestly not a hard stand to take.
