Simple steps maybe...but not easy when courage is such a rarity.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Eff the NFL!

BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!

[Joe 6-pack]

I have no idea why people are shocked or dismayed that a monopoly like the NFL displays an abusive contempt for its paying customers.

It's what monopolies do.

[VTenigma]

Not gunna happen.

[Gay State Conservative]

How to save it? Couldn't care less! For the first time in decades I've gone 5 weeks during the season without watching a single second of an NFL game. And the amazing thing is that although I expected to miss it...I HAVEN'T!

I won't be back...under any circumstances.

I hope that Mercedes Benz,Princess Cruise Lines,Rolex and the makers of those various medications which cost $600 a month understand that I,a guy lucky enough to be able to afford all those products,won't be seeing their ads.

[P.O.E.]

Nah.

I was already getting sick of watching the replays of the dancing, preening, and other unsportsmanlike conduct.

Then they added all the rules that are turning the game more into touch football so as not to damage the big money.

Then all the momentum-stopping penalties and reviews.

Then all the untold hours of commercials and announcer-schtick..

The protesting was just the final nail in the coffin.

These “easy steps” are bullshit. They will never be implemented. We are talking about overpaid celebrities here. They are just like Hollywood celebrities where they would not be as wealthy as they are without America being America. But for reasons known only to the leftist mentality, they have to bite the hand that feeds them and get off on it too. They need to be driven out of existence.

[upchuck]

Who feels the NFL is worth saving? I don’t. It can dry up and blow away. Bunch of way over paid players on a power trip. No thank you.

[Jonty30]

They told Americans what they really thought of them. It is like telling your spouse, in a moment of anger, that you didn’t like them very much.

You can’t really come back from that.

Betrayal and Disrespect

[ronnie raygun]

No matter how rich the A holes get they still fall back to the black slavery racism narrative. Ungrateful pukes. Let them whither and die on the vine

[Vaquero]

Let it die. A new football organization will replace it. It is a capitalist venture and money to be made, but by smart people this time.

[Clutch Martin]

Fuggum... the NFL has been in a death spiral for 20+ years, perhaps it has finally augered in.

[Feckless]

They may save the NFL but they have lost me for good. Aside from my outrage is the discovery that the time wasted, and more importantly the emotional roller coaster and frustration of following a sports team, is a burden lifted from my shoulders. I don’t care anymore and I’m glad.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I suspect also that many of the officials, players and coaches are on the take. With so much money involved, it’s inevitable that certain people and entities would be willing to pay handsomely to have the games fixed.

[inchworm]

Blm won’t stand for it. Besides the National Football Leftist helped me learn there’s so many better things to do on a Sunday.

“The NFL will return to a celebration of America and our military and police forces. “

Does the author know they were paid to do this?
“Pentagon spent millions on ‘paid patriotism’ at pro sports games “https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/pentagon-spent-millions-on-paid-patriotism-at-pro-sports-games-1.3305823

[SkyPilot]

1. The NFL will return to a celebration of America and our military and police forces. They’ll put on pre-game and halftime shows that rival the musical sequences in Captain America. Troops will be honored. The colors will be marched into the stadium with a full military honor guard. The National Anthem will be sung with dignity and pride, and every player on the field will stand with their right hand over their heart.

Very realistic, since this is exactly what the NFL did do until just a few years ago. It all changed during the Obama Regime.

2. The NFL will require each paid athlete to take courses in ethics, history, and finance.

Yeah, right. The NFL would have to give 60-70% of their players courses in remedial English, reading, and writing first.

3. Athletes will be required to dress professionally off the field and portray themselves as gentlemen.

Oh please. You can't take a bunch of immoral felons and narcissistic thugs, make them millionaires overnight, and expect them to behave as "gentlemen."

Transformation of character takes the power of the Holy Spirit. God can move where He will, but it is a fact that the NFL is hostile to true Christians such as Tim Tebow and Christian practices such as prayer.

Save it?
Not no but HELL NO.
I want it to DIE!
I want to watch a cash strapped league cut player and coach pay lower and lower until coaches are depending on side gigs for their daily bread.

I want to watch players have to sell their mansions, high end cars, boats and expensive bling to pay off their debts then get off season jobs like honest people everywhere.
I want to hear their wailing and the lamentations of their gold digging women.

I want to watch the league sell the commissioners private plane, tell him to buy his own health insurance, then watch as he sweats bullets as he waits for the ax to fall.

I want to watch advertisers walk away until the only entities willing to advertise are locals like Bob’s Hardware, Larry’s Used Car Emporium and Huggy Bears Bail Bonds.

I want to watch the number of televised games drop until they are relegated to tape delayed showings on late nights.
I want to watch the NFL package disappear from cable and satellite TV.
I want to watch ESPN slowly strangle on it’s own hubris and lack of viewers until they’re reduced to televising Australian Rules Rugby, Curling and any obscure sporting event they can find until they finally go under.

I want to watch the NFL’s gold egg laying goose die trying to push out one last golden nugget and laugh as the league finds out the goose died and left them with a tiny piece of iron pyrite.

I want to watch as the annual draft goes from being a two day televised extravaganza to a one day event in a smoke filled room that is only reported on obscure and unread blogs.

I want all of this to take TIME as I drink up the tears of the league, owners, coaches and players.
I want to bathe in the Schadenfreude of it all.

All things considered I don’t think I’m asking for too much.

[Agatsu77]

I think it is too late already.
