(vanity) Boycotting NFL = Key to Collapsing the MSM

Vanity

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for your response.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s an interesting point.

Thanks...

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I like Dallas too.

How many Super Bowls... LOL

[DoughtyOne]

I know you guys are making some good points. I don’t think you quickly develop the same level of play under a new league.

There’s a real difference between minor league and pro baseball. Would the new football league survive?

Would it draw enough fans? Would folks buy back in?

For a while there may be stadiums with 25% of the number of people they drew under the NFL.

[DoughtyOne]

Replacing boxing...

Good.

Thanks for your response.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s a good argument.

[DoughtyOne]

That is also a good solid point.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

I don’t go quite that far back, but I do remember the barber shop where essentially the same things were taking place.

[DoughtyOne]

Those are good points too...

[DoughtyOne]

I like attending high school games.

Football is an icon. The NFL part, eh... The level of play is at it’s zenith there. When I say icon, I mean that the standout sports we have are Baseball, Football, and Basketball.

[DoughtyOne]

While I appreciate your point, and can see some validity to it, there is nothing evil about recognizing that the three main sports in the U. S. are baseball, football, and basketball.

Those are iconic. Again, there’s nothing evil about that.

In other nations there are other sports, soccer being one, where it or another is considered to be their iconic sport. While I personally can’t stand soccer, there’s nothing immoral about their iconic sport being soccer.

If I were paying a man millions of dollars to work for me, and he pulled the Kaepernik routine while on the clock, he would no longer be on my clock.

The first step is to boycott all the pre-game/post-game shows which is a more likely scenario to start with.

[DoughtyOne]

I hate PC very much, so you’ll get my support on that.

Here’s my concern. Sometimes we think we know what we’re doing, but things turn out far different than we expected.

Check this out.

Given that amazon is a convenient way to shop, it’s also usually more expensive.

It is not usually more expensive for me. It is usually the opposite. I guess I could shop at Target. Oh, wait, we're boycotting them. There's Gay C Penney - boycotting them too. I guess I just won't buy anything. / sarc

It would be a good thing if Michael Jordan were to do some PSA, with Black Friday approaching to admonish the "homies" to "chill" and quit acting like savages whenever a new Air Jordan sneaker is released.

It will never happen. To ask black thugs to stop acting like thugs is an admission that black thugs are thugs. Saint Trayvon of Skittles and Saint Gentle Giant of Ferguson are held up as angelic innocent victims. These poor youths that shoot and kill for a pair of sneakers are just more victims of the man.

There's nothing inherently wrong with football, but the place it has come to occupy in our economy and national culture is a symptom of a serious problem. And the example you cited about soccer in Europe is a perfect parallel. Sitting around watching someone else play a game -- especially if you are young enough and healthy enough to play the game yourself -- is a symptom of a dying nation. Look up "Roman Empire" and "bread and circuses" for an illustration of this.

To me, this is soccer:

And this is nothing more than an entertainment extravaganza:

If I was a soccer fan, I'd give up the second one and spend more time on the first.

[Black Agnes]

Cut the cord.

Totally.

Just do it.

And your boycott options include the parent companies, Disney and Comcast.

I have been boycotting the mouse since the H1B Visa issue—no Disney trips or toys!

When your TV box no longer sends a signal back that you are watching the NFL games, the NBA games, then their advertising revenue drops and the players no longer make $119,000,000. And when they no longer can negotiate big-money contacts, then the spoilt brats in the NFL & the NBA will start appreciating their life in America.

I have wondered about this...Is it the 1000 Nielsen boxes that are counted, or is data relevant from everyone’s cable box?

Anyone know the true story about this???
