there will be so called conservatives who are still watching, and aiding the NFL. They are the Vichy who have no guts , and no morals.

You seem to be forgetting the fact that the vast majority of players—including virtually all White players—don't kneel for the anthem. So I guess we can mark you down as wanting to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

IMHO, conservative NFL fans are free to handle this issue as they see fit—even if it doesn't comport with your preferred response. Thus, calling those who continue to watch the NFL "Vichy" is the height of arrogance on your part; please get a grip.

The Left would like nothing more than to see the NFL utterly destroyed, because it is a bastion of entertainment for conservatives and it's a violent sport, and therefore not very PC. Thus, many conservative NFL fans would instead prefer to see the problem fixed rather than resulting in the league being ruined.

In any event, characterizing those conservatives who choose to continue watching the NFL—one of which I am not—as having no guts and no morals is abject hysteria on your part. Goose-stepping groupthink—a feature of the politically correct Left—has no place on the conservative side of the political spectrum. Thus, your strident, holier-than-thou attitude is rather comical. I say that even though I—like you—have personally chosen not to watch the NFL any longer. But I'm also saying that just because not every individual has made that same choice doesn't suddenly make you a better conservative than they are. Jeez...

“there will be so called conservatives who are still watching, and aiding the NFL. They are the Vichy who have no guts , and no morals.”


I’m certain there will be more that a few as you describe.

But I’ve also experienced a positive outcome from many I hadn’t expected. Even going to happy hour, friends noticed I gave up Stella Artois, replacing with local brews. They asked why, as I’m usually teased for always choosing Stella. I explained my position. The following week 2 of my buddies asked me to go shooting on Sunday, since they too decided to ditch the games.

Not a miracle, but these aren’t people I pegged as conservatives willing to give up the NFL. But they did.

Stop calling them names and start gently persuading them to boycott.

This is about winning, not virtue signaling like the left does.
