Yeah, but will you do that every weekend?


Honestly, Yes, as long as the weather is good.

I don't know.. I know several people that walked away from watching 2 yrs ago and have neverlooked back. I honestly when this shite started a few years ago limited myself to watching the Saints only and quit playing fantasy FB.. This year the only football I'll watch is LSU and some college but other than that.. I'm good

I'm over the NFL. They are ruining themselves.

The morons they support blocked an ER in CA and chanted 'We hope you die' regarding two deputies who were ambushed and brought there.

Enough of this BS. I will not support anarchy.

People who decided to stop watching the NFL are becoming worse than cross fitters.

The first rule of deciding not to watch the NFL? Make sure everyone knows you decided to stop watching the NFL.

Rightly so. Any fool with a lick of common sense could have told you this was nothing more than the flu; as events have borne out. (No one believes 150K+ died from Chinese Flu -especially the ones pushing these numbers)

Only thing is if your idea of a fun day is day drinking, you can't really escape it. Every bar and restaurant had the game on, even though I wasn't interested in watching at home.


I mean, I can day drink at home...for a lot cheaper..

But in all seriousness I can and have found plenty of other things to occupy my time.

I also agree, its not necessarily a boycott for most its a complete lack of interest.. Like any other sport one has zero interest in, they simply don't watch..

We’ve gone too long without sports; nothing is going to ruin them for me. People are so soft.


People are choosing to not watch a product that doesn't align with their beliefs, and that isn't good enough for you.

Oh I know

it all depends on how much people are actually giving up

giving up one hobby to just replace it with another hobby is easy, but hold that same value to products that actually affect your life? yeah...most people will all of a sudden look the other way

Honestly, I don't care what other people do. I just speak for myself.


But we've been down this road before with the NFL. Let the ratings continue to slide and observe what happens. In the battle between questionable social justice issues and money, I think we know what matters more to the NFL.

Sounds like the NFL suffers from a lack of diversity to me.

Do you ever sit back and marvel at how insufferable you are?

I agree. I skipped the games this past week not because I disagree with the league’s political stance, I skipped because they were expressing a political stance at all. There are so few outlets these days that are not bombarded with politics and sports was one of them. I’m not mad, I’m just indifferent.

The "anti american marxists blah blah blah" and everything y'all are complaining about is specifically about black people. Why are you playing dumb?

Makes sense. Everything you disagree with is insufferable.

The world doesn't revolve around you though, thankfully.
