I am doing my part, as I have not seen one second of NFL football so far this season. Not as a matter of resolution, understand, just sudden loss of interest. Honestly, that’s it. Just not interested.

I might add, there’s a synergy with the election cycle. I have been avoiding TV generally. I have on occasion watched the late evening golf tournament replay, but this is dependably unobjectionable.

DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.

I quit watching the Detroit Lions 20 years ago. I was tired of my Sundays being wasted. I quit watching all NFL after the “wardrobe malfunction”. I sent them an email that they “can take their pigskin and shove it”. Life has been fabulous without these “games”.

I’d rather pick rocks out of my car tires.

This is the concept of going Galt in action. Refuse to participate. Removing over half of any audience, for anything, is death to that thing.

If you ever wonder where your time goes, give up watching sports. If you complain you can never get anything done, give up watching sports.

Lets see how long they can pay multimillion dollar contracts to spoiled adolescents who hate large segments of their customers, who think throwing and catching balls in games that mean nothing in the big picture.

Can man really live without football?
If not, then “Let’s Roll!”

This should certainly po a good many persons come Thanksgiving Day in the year ????

OH DEAR! where will those po’ boys, the sports announcers find a JOB??? and all the camera crew, players? looks like unemployment numbers would certainly go up and a good many egos deflate. We can put ‘news’ papers out of business, why NOT TV networks?

Big ripple effect, I think this has already been touched on in that, thanks to Kaepernick, the salaries of NFLers will be driven down.

https://t.co/2R6IEDP9cx

And so will the salaries of hotdog vendors, hotel workers, and on down the line. He really screwed a lot of people. Oaf.

Telling the NFL (and NBA, etc) to go to hell and shunning them would do more than just mess up the revenue streams of the MSM, it would initiate a massive change to the “circus” as a whole. Remove the addiction to the opiate of the masses - which in the West is modern sports/entertainment, not religion - and the PTB would be scrambling indeed.

The thing that disturbs me about this effort, is here we are trying to drive something very Americana out of business.

Granted we’re POd that Kaepernick got away with what he did, and that the NFL has sided with him (essentially).

In the end though, something that is a big deal, something we all have grown up with and have loved, is now the focus of our anger.

Kaepernick is the dillweed here. So are the NFL leaders. I say get rid of the bad seeds and keep the NFL.

It’s like were trying to kill baseball, or football, or the NBA, aren’t we cutting off our nose to spite our face?

If we were to drive the NFL out of business, we will have lost an American ICON.

I’m not that big into sport these days, but I would hate to see the NFL gone. Then what? Some idiot does the same thing in baseball, and we go after MLB? Someone does something in the NBA, and we shut them down?

I’ve enjoyed an awful lot of beer with friends over football and baseball games. I don’t want to see any of our core social frameworks destroyed.

There must be a better way to cause change, than destroying great American pastimes to make a point. In effect the Jihadists will laugh their socks off at us, for doing something they couldn’t.

I posted the reply below last august, nothing has changed.
If we could get everyone on board, then we could do great damage to the MSM:

The way one stops the insanity is to boycott the NFL;
that means: you don't go the games, and you don't
watch it on TV. Additionally, you don't subscribe to an NFL ticket or buy their jerseys. Also, you don't listen to ESPN during the NFL season.

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 didn't watch one minute of the Olympics this year. I refuse to watch NBC, CBS & ABC. I haven't watched the NBA in years, and this year I won't watch the NFL due to the policies of the NFL (re cops in Dallas) and its approval of the Rams team support for the BLM radicals. I will only watch College football, and then, only of select teams.

Another thing that we can do, which I have done with great frequency is email the advertisers. That stops revenue flow to the MSM anti-American jerks. If this was an organized effort, substantial damage could be done to their bottom line. Instead of emailing each other, we should be hitting the advertisers hard!

Doing my part as well: Didn't watch the NFL, not going to watch the NFL!

REMEMBER THIS:

WE DON'T NEED THE NFL, THE NFL NEEDS US!

Without us "deplorable suckers" paying their outrageous costing NFL ticket prices; without us spending OUR HARD EARNED MONEY on their ridiculously overpriced concessions; without us spending wasted hours watching overpaid, racist, thugs who hate America and make tens of millions of OUR HARD EARNED MONEY play a game; without us wasting hours watching useless commercials made by NFL sponsors who HATE OUR AMERICAN VALUES, BUT WANT US TO SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THEIR PRODUCTS...

WITHOUT US; THE OBSCENE AND LUDICROUSLY RICH AND RACIST, ANTI-AMERICAN NFL, NFL COMMISSIONER, NFL OWNERS, NFL MANAGERS, NFL PLAYERS, NFL SPONSORS HAVE

N O T H I N G!

REMEMBER THIS:

WE DON'T NEED THE NFL, THE NFL NEEDS US!

Until EVERYONE in the NFL realizes this and ends their P.C., "breast cancer pink" (while MILLIONS OF MEN ARE DYING OF PROSTATE CANCER), racist "Only Black Lives Matter" Anti-American, "hate cops", hate the military, hate whitey, hate, and disrespect the National anthem, America, our flag, our American values policies; and continue to hate their former fans: the NFL WILL DIE!

And everyone in the NFL who formerly got rich OFF OF OUR HARD EARNED MONEY WILL LOSE EVERYTHING! And there will be no one to mourn its passing or their financial demise because we will have all come to the realization that:

ALTHOUGH THE NFL DESPERATELY NEEDS US, THE VERY PEOPLE THEY HATE AND DISPISE:

WE DON'T NEED THE NFL ANYMORE!

F em. They are supporting white genocide, criminality, and black dysfunction. Look how much major sports LOVE the mayhem when they release a new pair of Air Jordans.

I think one of the reasons NFL games are failing is that a lot of people have to work Sundays. They used to have “real” jobs.

Regardless of who wins the election, the revolt against the media masters needs to continue.

And let’s talk about media master Bezos. Every time you buy something on amazon, you’re subsidizing the WaPo and the destruction of your country. So stop. Given that amazon is a convenient way to shop, it’s also usually more expensive. So use the very easy to work with website to find what you want. Then put the product in a search engine and buy it someplace else. I’m finding that you can almost always find it cheaper someplace else. Walmart.com with their in store pickup or free shipping over $50 is almost always a better deal.

Been doing my part. Haven’t watched any NFL this year, except for the first game of my beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers! Watch the scores on my phone.

If God plans to punish the US with Jezebel for president, those who resist being led by such an evil person will need to live a life of resistance. Something as easy to give up as the NFL can have great consequences. Surely we can come up with many others.
