Doesn’t matter what they do at this point.
Most of us that never boycotted the NFL until now are doing so.

But taking that platform to honor dead criminals by putting names on helmets and jerseys is disgusting.

While I believe all this is pointless corporate virtue signaling, you're entirely missing the point if all you think of them is criminals. People shouldn't have to die for forging $20 bills, regardless of their background.

But people like you just think oh well he shouldn't have committed a crime not wanting to put any blame on the cops. And while the focus of all this is misguided we do have a problem with the police force and it does need to be changed

Yep. Because that’s the vast majority of it all! Just a simple counterfeit twenty is all!

Ok what about driving drunk, beating up a cop, stealing his taser , and shooting it at him? All while you are only out of jail for beating your kids because of a pandemic. What should have happened in this situation?

frick, just give them their own state.

We gave them an entire fricking coast. They keep moving to Colorado, Texas, Wyoming, etc., to get away from the cesspools they've created.

All I watched Except saints games before was red zone and nfl network to keep up with my fantasy players.


Now I’m not sure might just look at the stats of my players by press C on my remote

proposals include listing the names of victims


I'm assuming they will only list the black people that have died?

I agree with you, but the problem is you start seeing posts all over social media with "say their name" and it includes names like Mike Brown.

Mike Brown wasn't a victim. Then it just becomes a black people killed by cops thing and not about police brutality anymore.

Things like this disillusion people that would support an honest effort to end police brutality. It gets turned into a race thing. It's not a race thing which is evident by the statistics.

everyone here will claim to never watch it again while secretly watching any sport on tv



Nah brah.

I'm done.

If the covid hoax taught me one thing, isolated here in my house, with no Sports on, it's that I don't need to watch adults play a kid's game on television. If it taught me one thing, it taught me that playing a kids game with actual kids and actually participating in real life is much more satisfying.

Plus, the time I spend my kids doing that will probably prevent them from growing up to become pandering douchebags like Rodger Goodell or skyscreaming pussies like BLM and antifa. So I actually get paid twice.

White guy here. I’m not boycotting. In fact I am more stoked for this season than I can remember in a long time.
