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.

NAACP riding the coattails of conservatives that have already put a hurtin’ on the NFL.
Are all the helmeted folks of color on the field gonna participate?
There was already a boycott of sorts last year. Fans were disgusted at Kaepernicks (and others) antics and for the first time in a long time...the NFL was actually hit in the pocketbook. Ratings went down.
We had to go out there and remind them who their core audience is and that this is not acceptable.
The NFL can survive with these radical fringe groups pathetic boycotts. But the NFL cannot survive without a chunk of disposable income from patriotic white males. Colin Kaepernick
I do not care about entertainers' personal opinions. Keep it to yourself. You are there to entertain, not educate.
Oh, and watching a game is insufferably slow with all the penalties and review stuff. I'm glad I'm free.
With 130,000 on a waiting list for Green Bay Packers tickets, I suspect they’ll survive the boycott OK. But,if the NFL caves to this, it’s time all of us boycott the NFL.
I have weaned my self from all sports, with the exception of an occasional college football game. And some of those I watch recorded and fast-forward through all the crap. (Do that with the few things I watch like Lou Dobbs and Hannity, too).
I do not shop Target or WalMart. Haven't for several years. Some years ago, we were in a very tight money situation, and we started to shop very conservatively, especially for food. We found an outlet store in Amish country that has really great, top line food stuffs, for a pittance. We shop there every couple weeks.
We have gardens, and grow our own produce, especially tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, potatoes, herbs etc, even horseradish. And we have a neighbor how has a great garden and what we don't grow we buy from him. If we don't grow it and he doesn't have it, we find it in Amish country.
We learned to be frugal, and we still are, to our advantage. Goes right to the bottom line.
Target, Apple, Microsoft....off
my list...I shop at an independent
grocery store. I dislike anything
“Apple, don’t and never did, shop
at Target, and absolutely hate
Walmart...also never ordered
anything off Amazon...
I completely agree with you. I do go to walmart though...if i could find a better substitute i would go there....also...read good historical books....the insights you get are way better than listening to modern talking heads...except a very few..
There is now going to be a lot of pressure on black players to strike.
The NAACP attempting to hijack the boycott started last year by patriotic Americans. The news media will of course give them credit for this years downturn in viewership and income.
The NAACP should also demand that the Black players on the team resign.....
Considering the ethnic make of the NFL who is going to lose with a boycott of the NFL. Lets go for it.
Oh sure. U of Missouri pulled it a few years ago, and ruined the team as well as the university (students stopped enrolling and alumni stopped sending donations)
——Kaepernick-—
is a Democrat plant in the NFL. His mission is to disrupt and destroy.
He must be destroyed, snuffed.
correct
Yeah I'm betting that there will be football.
This is a very slick more by the naacp. They now have a “heads they win tails we lose” set up. If we don’t watch they say we are with CommieNick; if we do watch they fund raise off our “hate.” My response to them is GFY!
The NAACP is boycotting the very organization who makes more black millionaires than any other organization that is not a sports franchise. Leaves me scratching my head.
So half the fan base will boycott because he is not signed. The other half will boycott if he is signed.
Ironic isn’t it? If the left’s hatred wasn’t so serious, this would be laughable!
I hope we can do that.
The NFL and most “Professional” sports these days are poison.
