There is a lot of talk doing so, but how many will actually do it several months from now when something else steals the spotlight?

I fully plan to not watch any NFL games this year as our actions and voice are important. If we don’t, how much worse will it get?

I watch football for entertainment and to get away from politics and the normal everyday BS. It’s no longer an escape but an agitation.

I really hope people follow through and stick to their beliefs and values over a few hours of entertainment.

Since the first round of this crap, I’ve only watched the Saints. Now, IDK if I’ll even watch that. I’ll probably just play more golf

Disinterest for a “brand” like the NFL is worse than a group of people actively “boycotting.”

What the NFL seems to be doing more than anything is fomenting widespread disinterest.

It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen in my life from a marketing perspective.

College is worse than the NFL

These children are holding the universities that allow them to play on scholarship hostage until they donate proceeds to BLM.

America needs a reset

They won't stop watching , they whine and cry then watch.

They are weak people.

I’m not watching it. Last NBA game I watched Shaq and Iverson were head to head in the finals. Last time I watched MLB McGuire and Sosa were chasing the homer run record. I have no problem tuning out pro sports.

Only watched a few of the Saints games the last few years. Won't watch any this year. If blm infects the college game, I won't watch them either.

Back to hunting in the fall!!

I have stated it, and will reiterate it here to go on record again, and to hold myself accountable as well.


I am DONE with the NFL, and if CFB follows, I’m DONE with them as well. I mean that shite. I’ve got better things to do with my time in life than contribute to America’s failure. Hell, more productive things by the truck loads. I just shift gears. Not that big of a deal.

I don’t watch the NBA at all and haven’t for a couple years now . With the NFL When the kneeling started I stopped watching. I started watching again last year when the NFL made a smart move and didn’t talk about politics and didn’t involve it in games. Now I will not watch and will never watch again.

I’m the only one to bail out on my fantasy league. Others in my league have voice their displeasures but will play this year. They justify by saying they are not giving money to the nfl but are just using players stats. F@ck that, it’s not that important to me. I will never pick football ahead of country.

I just fear that a lot of people who talk about boycott cave in when it’s game time.

My interest waned when it started a couple years ago but when the Saints got pissy about a retired commander refusing an award from them due to the anthem and flag controversy, my interested took a nosedive then went into free fall with the Brees fiasco.

I'm not boycotting. I'm just not interested anymore. And it honestly has as much to do with Goodell's vendetta against the Saints as it does the league's endorsement of the BLM terror network. Brees' spine removal procedure was simply the last straw.

Haven’t watched NFL in years. Only college. If they start this nonsense, might have to drop them, too.
