Ever noticed that the loudest boycotters weren't watching anyway?

I'm sure Papa Johns, Budweiser and Verizon will be hurt now that they can't reach 89 year olds.

Have you ever listened to the words of the national anthem?

Nah it's more than that, and the NFL losing 15% of any demographic is huge

I didn't know it said that soldiers sacrificed themselves to live in a country where people who have an opinion different from mine are less "patriotic" than me.

Didn't turn one game off when women were getting raped, murdered and abused.

Yeah, Vinny doesn't even watch baseball games when he wasn't announcing games. I highly doubt he watched many football games either.

I don't care what Vin watches.

I've encountered so many people who claim they're never going to watch another NFL game, even though they never watched football to begin with.

Well, bye.

Also majority of the people I have seen who have suddenly claimed they are boycotting the NFL were never really fans to begin with. I reckon the NFL isn't really losing any hardcore fans, only the casual fans/bandwagons who probably couldn't name a single player on their team besides the qb.

I don't get how kneeling for the anthem is equated to shitting on the military. Do they have some ownership over the anthem and flag? Are they especially sensitive?

It doesn't have anything to do with the military. Anyone being honest with themselves should know that.

Is this a surprise? He grew up in a time of wars and patriotism. People who think like him are indeed a dying breed.

Go to the Poli Board to see what conservatives think about issues and go to the MSB to see what leftists think.

So wealthy football fans aren't a coveted demographic....
