If I were an owner, I’d be rethinking my position right now.

They should, but they won't. They'd rather go broke than be accused of being a RAAAAAACIST by SJW's and the shrill sports media.

Snyder isn’t doing anything Jerry Jones isn’t doing.

Parking at Cowboys’ ‘stay-jum’ is ridiculous.

This is now my third year on no NFL.
I don’t even miss it anymore.

Evidently... Well, every good wish for them then, reaching their goal at the bottom.

Great news! The right doesn’t take enough credit for successful boycotts. Be proud boys & girls, we’ve damaged Hollywood, the cinema, magazines, newspapers and television!

Glad to hear about the declines, but this article only includes one game from Week 2, the Thursday night game. The other four prime time games are from Week 1: Thursday night, Sunday night, and two Monday night games the same night.

Hoping for more declines for Week 2 when the full report is out.

Paulsen should have more data crunched for this weekend by tomorrow ...

I have seen exactly 1 1/2 games of NFL football since the beginning of last season.

1/2 of a Thanksgiving Day game (I was at someone else’s home and they had it on)

1 playoff game (I had a relative who was playing in it and I felt obligated)

I tried to keep up my boycott this week but had to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick destroy the Eagles. It was glorious and I hope the Bucs bench the rapist thug Jameis Winston.

I watched a few games a couple of decades ago because my husband was at the time seriously into football in a financial way (not as a fan, I mean he had no “team loyalty” or anything like that. Sometimes he didn’t even watch, he just checked the scores periodically). Even then, I was like “When are they going to play?”, and it’s my understanding that it’s even worse now, more standing around than actual action. That’s even apart from all the other reasons to boycott now. It’s my understanding that watching curling or chess would be more exciting.

Though it won’t, I’d love to see the NFL fold up.

We know him around here first as the former Whitehouse Wildcat. I was telling my family yesterday that after I watched Mahomes first action for TTU after Davis Webb got hurt against OSU, I said that he would never be a great quarterback. He still planted and threw like a pitcher. I guess I was wrong.

The fact is we just don’t like these guys any more. The can kneel, they can stand, they can lay on their backs and kick their feet. Once you stop liking or caring about people you usually don’t go back.

Wow. I remember hearing years ago, that the Redskins had tens of thousands of people on a waiting list for season tickets.

The same with the Former Niners. People actually willed their season tickets to those who were fans.

Dan Snyder may well be one of the worst owners of an NFL team ever. Yeah, everyone know about his business acumen that made him a multi-millionaire.

But he knew next to nothing when he bought the teams and years later, still knows nothing. He tries to manage the team - with less than stellar results. He infuriates coaches because his meddling and second guessing.

Now, I to some degree don’t call out Jerry Jones for some of these things because he actually played the game - not pro but in college. He knows enough about the game.

Daniel Snyder knows jack you know what - other than what he see on an Excel spreadsheet one of his aides hands him every week.
