NFL is determined to self-immolate; they’ve lurched from supporting racist, anti-American fools like Kaepernick and Michael Bennett to catering to homosexuals, who make up less than 1.7% of the population.

I was just today trying to explain to my 90 year old Aunt on what is happening with Professional Sports today in regard to it veering left in so many things.

She used to be a big Cowboys fan and I informed her today we won't be watching much pro football this season, if any.

This morning I read that the St. Louis Cardinals intend to have a trans-gender person throwing out the first pitch next week on “Pride Night” at Busch Stadium and now I read of “Pride” whatever for the NFL.

Lets face it professional sports must want to alienate their fan base to appease a small group of people.

When I was growing up I lived for the NFL and AFL football on Sunday's. My father and I loved it and when Monday Night Football came in we loved that too.

That being said, Dad died last December and my football enthusiasm kind of died with him. Add to that the games are way too long, too many DAMN commercials, too many replays, too many penalties challenged,too many games on, too much Politics being injected into the game, and Leftist Politics at that.

So, as many of you, I have had my fill of all of it. There is only so much the NFL, MLB, etc. can try to force down your throat and I think that moment has arrived.

I am tired of the disrespect to our country, our Flag, and our way of life by overpaid morons, who if they could not play football, would be lucky to be Ditch Diggers.

My personal feeling is that ratings and viewership for the product of the NFL will down again this year, hopefully markedly so. They won't be able to blame it on the election like last year.

If it becomes a trend then guess what the values of all those franchises start going down and the next TV contracts will go for less money. Peak NFL has happened.

Interesting, I just relaunched my pride initiative, AMERICA PRIDE and one of its major aspects is to shun Anti American attitudes and practices no matter who or where. Adios Mr. NFL! I would hope that many Americans join in the shunning and all these self righteous America hating and immoral pricks who are millionaires only because of some inherent physical skill find themselves in the unemployment line.

That’s it for me, the NFL no longer exists. They’ll not get a penny from me.

Well, this doesn’t make it any less likely that I’ll return to the NFL as a fan than it already was. Zero is zero.

Follow the money..
Who gives nfl largest chunk of money?
Ticket sales or broadcasters?
So broadcasters write the rules.
Who runs the big media outlets broadcasting units. Look it up.
Those are the people telling the NFL what to do.
How to destroy the cabal. Stop watching , talking, betting, on any form of commercialized football(even college)...do not use the services of the advertisers as much as is possible. Always disbelieve the commercials first. If the product adverised is truly good and it is the only good product available, then you can use it.
If you can cut their monetary intake by 75%, the broadcasters,and even the owners will drop football and their forced behaviours asap.

Last night I stopped off on the way home and got some chicken tenders at Publix. $4.29. Scrolling through my phone in the checkout aisle. 6:30 pm...Dolphins trying to fill seats at a preseason game. Tickets? $3.00. My chicken tenders cost more than a Dolphin ticket.

Just in case disrespect to our flag, our anthem, our country, and our ancestors who died defending freedom is not enough, they decided to add this to the NFL season too. Professional sports is dead to me. I will not watch even one game in person or on TV/Internet. I will not buy their merchandise. Professional athletes no longer exist in my world, except as very large people who in a few years will be asking “paper or plastic” or “would you like fries with that”.
