Already done.

When they have to get real jobs because the money dries up, they might appreciate what they had a little more.

I stopped watching and caring when the Cardinals left St. Louis.

If players do not honor the flag tomorrow during the Nat’l anthem I will be done with the NFL.

Aside from the issue of showing respect for the flag, in my opinion the NFL has become saturated with politics, political correctness, advertising, and too much showboating by overpaid prima donna athletes. Not worth watching anymore.

I started Thursday night.

Didn’t watch or listen to a drop of it.

I won’t until the NFL fixes this. Even then, it’s still just a game.

So, to punish the 1% of players who don't stand at attention, you believe it is correct to punish the other 99% with it. That's really smart.

Makes more sense to boycott games on Fox because the same corporation hires Juan Williams.

The Denver Broncos player has lost his endorsement deal with a local credit union for Air Force employees over his actions. THAT's the sort of response I consider appropriate. Yours, I do not.

It drives home that there is no loyalties, relationships, etc. involved at all, doesn’t it?

If someone needs a football fix, they can go watch their grandkids in peewee ball. More fun, anyway.

I did this a long time ago. Use the time spent watching games to get out and do something for yourself.

Already started my boycott.

I don’t get the controversy over whether the idiot has the right to refuse to stand for the flag. It is not that at all; it is his lowlife character and stupidity that is the issue.

Done with the NFL. Plenty of other things to do.

I truly despise being lectured to by sports talking heads on political and ethical issues of the day.

Call the game.

I did that years ago when they pulled the Super Bowl out of Arizona because we didn’t have a birthday party for Marty.
