After 50 years of watching the NFL, I gave it up completely this year and this award confirms that the league is finished.

No other 49er has done more to help the team in coming years by securing a high draft pick next year.

Because someone else won Douchebag of the Year?

I think he lost EVERY game he started this year. Maybe he won 1.

Yup, he won one last week. The Rams let me down.
And I used to be a 49ers fan. Until this year.
From my viewpoint they are cooked and done. As is the NFL.

And even more Bay Area football fans have just become Raiders’ fans.

So funny you wrote that. I've been a Niner fan all my life. Until this year. And, yes, it starts with Kaepernick and his overt hatred of America. And the coach's acceptance of anti-Americanism (is that a word...?)

And the owner's acceptance of this self-loathing, self-aggrandizing political stunt. Now I truly detest the Niners.

But I'm from Vegas. We'll see what happens, but I sure would like the chance to watch a Vegas Raiders home game, even at Sam Boyd Stadium...!

Side note: Damn shame about Derek Carr this year.

I don’t wish injury upon him. I do wish that he spends the entire game on his butt.

I’m a Steeler fan and they can still do something this year but I am now FINISHED with the NFL. I will no longer watch a single NFL game.

I will never, ever watch another NFL game.

That punk is not the only problem - the whole organization is putrid to the core.

the award means the 49ers stand with and endorse his actions. OK, so be it. I understand clearly.

I didn’t watch ANY NFL games this year and that practice will continue into 2017 including the STUPOR BOWL, which I hope receives the LOWEST ALL TIME VIEWER RATINGS.

Hence my perfect record of zero games watched this year. My yard is looking great.

I have been watching pro-football since the early 50s. Our town in WV got the Browns broadcasts, Jim Brown, Otto Grahama and Lou Grousa, etc.

I have not watched a game this year. I used to watch 2-3 games on a weekend. Tape them and speed them up. I don’t kiss having someone crap on the country and my personal values, They can all go to hell. The leagues is responsible and the teams not this guy. The league has to stand up or payers will do worse in the future.
