Nicely hypocritical! You have enough gumption to boycott BK over their gayburger but somehow we should continue to fund and support an NFL that permits attacks on patriotism and an ESPN that ignores attacks on our President - and their sponsors.
Sorry, I’m not buying it. It’s a great idea to pass the word about the other offenders and to recommend alternatives to them - but giving the NFL and ESPN a pass?
The BS flag is on the field!

No, like ALL of us, I pick my own battles. Do you use Amazon products, Microsoft, Google, Apple? Do you have cable or satellite? Then you too are feeding the monster.
I did not tell ANYone not to go to Burger King. I said I had a reason that I decided PERSONALLY not to go to Burger King. No hypocrisy there.
By all means, expose ESPN and the NFL, and all the others, but enough with the "if you don't boycott what I boycott you are treasonous" approach. I would suggest that besides getting the word out on Free Republic to other conservatives, we can do our penance by donate our money, time, skills, and prayers to worthy churches, charities and political causes.
Sometimes there are other factors. For instance, Lowes gives money to Planned Parenthood. So, I was going to Home Depot, which has its own problems, but those are often the only options. Then I found out that the LOCAL Lowes manager donated free paint to our new Crisis Pregnancy Center. On a per store basis, that more than offset the Planned Parenthood donation, so I started patronizing Lowe's again.
The right is fractured as it is to start throwing words like treasonous and hypocrite around at FReepers of otherwise good will.
