re: The NFL better be careful

Just have the m effers wear flags. Flag football. What a joke. Ads show football highlights from the 60s 70s and 80s. Please don’t hit me.

i'll be fine without any sports at all. already cancelled espn+ because of "stay at home" covid commercials in between rounds streaming ufc fights.

will not watch any nfl games this year with racist arse players who think being a certain race means something.

may or may not watch college ball, we'll see how it goes.

all sports are is a diversion and something to unwind with on the weekend. they aren't important and never have been.

if people are only building character through playing sports, i feel sorry for them.

while i'm at it, frick disney and their attack on children.

I tend to hate the idea of boycotts. But at this point we really should boycott the NFL, and if politics seep into college athletics, then that too.

It’s nothing personal, and I understand these players feel like they have a platform and thus a duty to speak up. But every athlete needs to understand they only have that particular platform because there are fans who care about the sport. Enough of those fans get pissed off because they are tired of the political bullshite, and stop watching, then where will the sport be? And what kind of platform would the player then have?

So yes, for the folks who are already tired of it, a boycott of the NFL (and potentially other leagues) should be enacted.

Part of the NFL, and especially NBA going international is they are less dependent on the Average American customer. Sure they care, but they are making bank regardless.

I find it hard to believe that international viewership could keep these leagues running. But whatever, even if they could, the folks who are fed up should still stop watching. There is nothing magical about professional sports which means it must exist. And fans who are fed up shouldn’t be held hostage of listening to narratives they don’t agree with.

And yes, whether it breaks the league or not, if the average American viewer tunes out, the leagues will take a big hit in the pocketbook.

Honestly boycotting the sport is the difficult part, a more productive means of protest is stated boycotts of the NFL’s sponsors. When the left gets mad, that’s the means they use.

I continued to watch the NFL last time when my friends were refusing to watch because I love football. I’m strongly now considering to not watch it at all.

I'll never watch again.
