I have not watched an NFL game this year. Not a one.

I quit years ago when it became a non-contact sport! Like when they say that they don’t want the injuries to the big money players. Mostly the offensive players!>> except they killed mike vick. he paid his time. the defense killed that guy and he is bigger than me but he’s not a big guy. and the refs let them.

Do you remember this guy?

"Concrete Charlie" (Chuck Bednarik) Pulverizes Frank Gifford
Here's a few more youtube clips about Chuck.
Chuck was one of the last players who "went both ways", which, back then, meant he played offense (center) and defense (middle linebacker).

It wasn't easy, but I've managed to break away from watching football, and I will no longer support these enemies of the USA with one dime, or one minute of my time.   I hope many others will do likewise.

I totally support this growing boycott for several reasons. I really hate the anti American sympathies of the NFL but there is one systemic problem being covered up with the help of a complicit press. It is the universal use of Steroids and growth hormone in the NFL. I was told by a professional lineman that 100% of all offensive and defensive linemen are obnsteroids and that it is absolutely known and required by management. He said “ If you want to work, you take roids.” Notice that while there are “drug test” for marijuana and cocaine — there is no testing for roids in the NFL. I want my professional sports organizations to comply with all laws of my country. These outlaws are thumbing their nose at our laws. I had to laugh at the scrutiny for HGH and steroids in baseball. What a joke compared to Football, not only at the Professional ranks but clear down to and including high school football. We need this cleaned up with some prison sentences!!.

I am boycotting the NFL. I started when they let the Marxist Muslim Colin Kapernick demonstrate his anti-American anti-Semitic anti-Christian ideas during the national anthem. I won’t end it until they stop it and apologize.

And write the sponsors and tell them that you are boycotting the NFL and their products. Hit them in the ad revenue and ratings.

I will no longer accept their superiors not putting an end to their tantrums, or the NFL itself allowing this type of disrespectful behavior to continue

Well, their "superiors" and the "NFL itself" are, of course, the problem.

The bosses of Disney/ABC/ESPN and most of the NFL owners are of the same social class, believe the same things, believe in their power to change America irrevocably, and, oh yeah, most importantly - THEY'RE NOT ON YOUR SIDE.

I have not watched a game all season...not the first one. I want their ratings to drop like a stone. Trouble is, I also want to let their sponsors know I am not watching their commercials but I don’t have a way to find those without watching a game. Obvious ones would be Budweiser and Nike but anyone have a compiled list we can use and spread to have others who are boycotting contact the sponsors??

Having a meeting with 10 neighbors today to discuss how we can help this boycott to get legs. Don’t just stop watching. Write letters to the sponsors and voice your concerns. The left does this all the time so why shouldn’t we?

Stick to locally made and small company products and you will be fine.

I haven’t watched an NFL game since the first season of the Jaguars coming to Jacksonville (for obvious reasons). Unfortunately, not watching the NFL means I really don’t know who its sponsors are. It is the sponsors that need to be made aware of our disgust with the NFL. Perhaps someone can put together a list of the current sponsors?
