The disrespect for America shown by some NFL players has given Donald Trump supporters a chance to “vote early” and they are taking it.
Another NFL week has past and the boycott of viewers has actually picked up steam. By one account available data shows a 30% drop in viewership for Monday night’s game between “Somebody and Who cares?”

Naturally the leftists in sports writing are telling us it’s the bland product or the movement from appliances they can’t track that are causing the steep drop in viewership and “blah blah blah” anything but the truth.
To keep up their assignment from the Ministry of Information they are forced to dance around the truth; and the truth in their cell is tougher to deny. Since they won’t ask them, here are the answers to the questions they should be asking.
Who watches NFL games; who are Trump’s supporters and how to they lineup?
NFL games are watched by fans who are 70% over 35; 78% White and 59% make less than $75,000 a year. Men are slightly over-represented in the NFL fans demographics when compared to women, with 55% of the total 150 million strong demographic being male.
The annual income of 26% of NFL fans is $40,000 or less. The 55+ age demographic is the largest percentage of the NFL fans demographics at 37%. Another 34% of NFL fans are in the 35-54 age demographic.
And social media? “The NBA finals averages 26.7 million tweets over the course of a 4-7 game final. In comparison, the Super Bowl in just one game generates over 26 million tweets on average.” Thus the success of “#boycttnfl” and similar hashtags.
An article written by a liberal in 2014 said, “The numbers reflect the values of white conservative males. No professional sport looks more overtly macho than the NFL…”
“Registered Republicans were 21 percent more likely to be NFL fans than registered Democrats.
Of people who identified themselves as part of the NFL fan base 83 percent were white, 64 percent were male, 51 percent were 45 years or older, only 32 percent made less than $60,000 a year, and… “ to finish the point, registered Republicans were 21 percent more likely to be NFL fans than registered Democrats.”
Note in just 2 years women are now 45% of base was 36% in 2014.
A July, New York Times article says, “In some new polls that are showing Mr. Trump with an overall lead, he has even larger leads among white working-class voters. A Monday CNN poll, for instance, had him ahead by three percentage points nationwide with a 66-to-29 edge among this group.
“The last live interview poll to show Mr. Trump ahead before the convention, an ABC/Washington Post poll, showed Mr. Trump with a 65-to-29 lead among the group. Conversely, Mrs. Clinton leads when she holds down her losses among these voters….”
“The answer lies with a group that still represented nearly half of all voters in 2012: white voters without a college degree, and particularly white men without a degree.”
The answer the media is avoiding is: Trump’s supporters are leading the NFL boycott because their conservative values are offended. This is not insignificant. It is yet another sign of enthusiasm for the things Trump stands for and this sign of enthusiasm is growing not shrinking.

I am boycotting the NFL. The politically correct thugs can go to hell IMHO.
I would venture to say the bastion of Trump supporters is a crystal clear manifestation of the “dead” Tea Party.
I’m another Trump supporter voting with his remote.
The NFL boycotters are Americans. Probably Trump voters.
Anyone who supports anti-American thugs are probably illary voters.
What’s a NFL?
You are right, the reports of the death of the Tea Party were premature.
The revenge of the Tea Party will come November 8
The NFL is a small number of white liberal elites propped up by large numbers of blacks at the bottom of their organization - much like the democrat party.
The NFL pits blacks into violence against other blacks...just ‘on a field’... much like the way denizens of inner city hellholes are pitted against each other for the benefit of electing White Liberal Elites who run Washington.
It’s not a game or a sport any of us should be connected to in any fashion. Leave this filth to the ‘liberals’...
Haven’t watched a game yet this year and probably won’t.
Last year, I didn’t miss a Ravens game.
I’m not watching NFL. If that quarterback for the rams gets the starting nod I might watch them just to see if the opposing defence tries to kick his butt and his offensive line lets them...beat him up for a few plays then take him out of the game.... maybe out of football.
I hope everyone sends a message by boycotting The 49ers Bills game this Sunday instead of watching hoping he get’s smashed. Make those ratings crater, by doing that, it’s a guaranteed loser for him.
Sorry Bill’s fans. Go BILLS. I won’t be watching.
Boycotting with my tv remote requires no effort nor cost on my part.
Over a decade ago, I used my tv remote to boycott ABCCNNBCBS, and Fox News and Free Republic became my source for news.
I pulled the plug on Faux news this January, when their whore, Megyn tried to put Trump’s head into a noose before he cancelled out of the phoney debate.
Now FR is my only source for news.
Donate to FR and boycott the NFL, Faux news, and ABCNNBCBS with your tv remote.
You will feel better and have a lot of free time by using your tv remote to “Just say no to liberal bs posing as news or a sporting event!”.
Why are you mad at Case Keenum?
Vote Trump + Boycott firms that are anti-American!
When I do watch a game, I take careful note of the sponsors, as I can absolutely do without their brands of products. (For example, bud light, and by extension nothing anheuser busch will ever again cross the threshold of my house.).
Also, my family has bought some NFL apparel in previous years. This year, the word is going out, NOTHING NFL for Christmas!

I got a better one than the previous elites at the top-blacks at the bottom. Think of rap music. White kids trying to be black.Spend their money to show how kool they are. It’s like an African safari. Spend your money, enjoy the hunt and feel superior in this other world-experience. Then go back to your own world.
“Target can deny it: But bathroom protesters are Trump supporters voting with their wallets.”
I’ve watched a few games but they have no way to know that - one-way satellite with no other connectivity.
