Nicely hypocritical!

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.

Exactly the comment I was going to make. All these boycott monkeys slamming away on their liberal-cause-loving tech industry keyboards. Talk about hypocrites.

You miss the obvious: yes, there are other entities contributing to the destruction of our nation, our society and our faith - but the NFL and ESPN are doing it right now in front of everyone's faces.

Having some divot post NFL games on ESPN for Freepers is imbecilic at best, unpatriotic at worst.

When the get directly in your face, you fight, right?
