Having served my country for 10 years, TO ME it is an abomination that the over-paid NFL players sit (or otherwise disrespect)our flag and our national anthem. They have the right to do that, I have the right to #BoycottNFL
I may be the only one but I will not pay for the "stage" for these losers to stand on.
I’m with you!
Let them get real jobs.
I’m in.
Yes, agreed. If they were doing it for religious reasons, fine. But political statements require political response. Boycott.
Secondly. I have always bought the NFL package. Never again.
I agree. However, I haven’t watched an NFL game in probably a decade or more. Just not interested. (Of course my “home team” is the Jaguars. Just sayin’.)
Count me in!
Please nobody forget that refusing to purchase NFL paraphernalia, however large or small, will have a huge impact as well. Maybe more. And let everyone from the sporting goods stores to the manufacturers like Nike know exactly why you’re not buying.
Write the advertisers to tell them ‘if you advertise on an NFL game, I go to your competitor’. ‘Course you have to actually watch the game in order to see who’s advertising...somewhat a catch 22 I know...
Im there!!
#DefundTheNFL
NO city funded civic stadiums
NO special corporate tax loops
NO incentive money luring teams from another city to move
DEFUND THE LEFT
Companies don’t even need a drop in sales to drop advertising.
A coordinated series of hits on Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers (by about a dozen people echoing their hate through a series of thousands of fraudulent twitter accounts) caused sponsors to leave the EIB Network.
The way the games are being interrupted by flags on almost every play, you won’t need to boycott. They’re becoming unwatchable.
Proudly boycotting NFL, NCAA, NBA, MLB, NASCAR, IndyCar, F1, NHL since 1992. That is when I went “cold turkey” on them all due to their behavior.
What “religious reasons” could one possibly do that for? There’s certainly nothing in Romans 13 that prescribes such an act; the reverse, rather.
Jehovah’s Witness do not stand and pledge allegiance to the flag. Nothing political, just religious grounds. Their choice, not a big deal. That is a whole lot different than someone making an in-your-face political statement, which should and has consequences.
The NFL, NCAA, and ACC are dead to me...
I don’t think many people will participate. The NFL could be sacrificing babies to baal and people will still be putting on their team colors and mixing up the guac.
Understood.
But let’s attack on all fronts. The message needs to be unmistakable and unforgettable.
A couple of quarters of below expected earnings has the added effect of getting the shareholders and board of directors to take notice.
And I bet you don’t miss any of them a bit.
,,,, you took the idea straight from my mind also ,,,,, Football goes political and anti-American at that .
My boss would never allow his employees to protest politics at work especially during work hours .
