They know it makes them look bad, but I bet they’ll have a bunch of #meetoo and other SJW type of commercials.

But we still cannot figure out why revenues are down and fewer fans are showing up or tuning in.

It’s the darndest thing.

Political statements not acceptable in the program. On the field in front of a captive audience who paid dearly to be there, no problemo.

Between this, the concussion problem, and the fact that football and basketball can’t be played at a professional level without the posession of extrordinary physical characteristics, I believe that baseball will be making a well deserved comeback.

I won’t watch the Super Bowl and neither will my US veteran friends. So, We don’t really care.

The NFL continues its hatred for our country and values and yet there are still those who will defend it here...

Gave up watching NFL about 10-12 years ago when it started implementing nonsensical rules and became over-officiated. Obviously, the league fathers are giving me no compelling reason to return.

Don’t miss it. Won’t watch it. A pox on it and all it stands for.

While the NFL hid behind the flimsiest, most cowardly defense of "respecting the players' right to protest" during the flag kneeling, this refusal to accept a non-controversial ad that AmVets was willing to pay for shows the hatred and contempt for America the NFL has. All they want is the money.

F 'em. Not another dime, not another minute.

The NFL is going to regret this, big time.

Every sports commercial these days is about 80% non-white. Sorry, but that’s not what America looks like (yet).
Everybody can watch the best ads the next day for amusement without watching the SB.

The commissioner is total POS. Glad the Pats are in for that reason alone.

That’s primarily Disney and Comcast pushing that agenda.
