ATLANTA - The NAACP has called for a boycott of the NFL. The organization says the league treated free agent Colin Kaepernick unfairly for his headline grabbing protest during the national anthem.
--SNIP--
Kaepernick has not been signed by an NFL team. This boycott is not just here in Georgia. It is nationwide. The NAACP says they are planning to send a strong message to not only commissioner Rodger Goodell, but NFL owners like Arthur Blank.

But what will the Trannies say?
These morons don’t understand that if team revenues go down,
player contracts will go down too. Since the majority of NFL players
are black, who really does this hurt?
[I’ll be watching the Jets. That’s suffering enough.]
Well, this year it will be like watching a college team. LOL
(long suffering fan)
Kaep isn’t signed because his performance tanked.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson accepted an appointment as the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain because he wanted to be living in London during the upcoming Jets season. LOL.
“I like it. Half the people will support the ACLU boycott and the other half will boycott because of Kaepernick’s actions. No one will watch.”
That is exactly what will happen. The advertisers had better factor in a bigger audience drop then they had planned for.
Rumor has it that the Jets are going to put up a bunch of Confederate statues around the perimeter of the field this season. They think a crowd of demonstrators knocking them down might be the only people willing to come to the stadium for home games. :-P
Leave the Falcons alone. This season is going to be hard enough on them.
“Good idea, guys, since the 70% of the NFL players are black. If your stunt is successful, you just put your brothers on the unemployment line.”
The blacks f*k up their own neighborhoods and now they are f*king up the NFL.
Future The Onion headline:
“NAACP to create Colored-only League”
(The word “colored” is from the NAACP acronym, of course.)
Or future real headline?...
This fall, the week that all the new programs come on the major networks, I am hoping that Conservatives will turn off their televisions for the week. It is the least we can do.
If even 10% turn off their tv, the media will get hysterical. We will hit them where it hurts.
I too support the boycott.
You can boycott totally, like Target, Macys, and NFL.
You can cut back on WM and Amazon.
Keep your iPhone and iPad until they are no longer usable. Why upgrade in this day and age, really?
Be selective in other things. I love college FB but I cut back on ESPN.
I record ALL programs. Then FF thru. If a CFB is an early blowout, I don’t have to wait it out, but FF and delete if it doesn’t turn out to be a game. FFing thru commercials. Most are 3-3.5 minutes long, so I know how many clicks it takes. Saves time and limits patronizing sponsors.
I get most of my news here. I don’t click links to the enemy. When I do a news search. I look for an acceptable, or at least tolerable, news source. No NYT WP CNN clicks
We seldom pay reg price for stuff. Use coupons and sales
Savings increases. WE have learned we don’t “need” all that “stuff”
We do not watch cnn at all now, and seldom the national news. Again, taped and FF thru. When the bias in a story creeps in, there goes the rest of the broadcast. DELETE
We check out CDs and DVDs, books at local library. We record the CD selections onto iTunes. No purchases necessary. We dropped our subscription to one pay movie channel. We use search to find the movies we might like to watch and set them to record in the future.
We find exercising and gardening to be acceptable substitutes for professional sports and network “news”
Screw them. We are the demographics they crave. Nice job of alienating us. Let Antifa and blm pay your bills.
I’m wondering if collegiate sports will follow suit.
Be careful. In the NFL, MLB, and the NBA almost all of the fans are white.
“There will be no football in the state of Georgia if Colin Kaepernick is not on a training camp roster and given an opportunity to pursue his career,” said Gerald Griggs
Who is this nobody that wants the NFL to be all about Kaepernick lame protest???
Keep dreaming Gerald! Haha!
Has everybody forgotten that kaepernick was a crappy quarterback anyway?
Kaepernick ruined his own chances with the NFL.
He had not been a good player for a 1 year and half prior to the first time he pulled this stunt.
Kaepernick was already benched, and his short NFL career is most likely over.
I’m IN
