If you're still boycotting NFL games over player protests of the national anthem or the NFL owners' handling of Colin Kaepernick, it's time to put your feelings on ice for a few weeks.

Yea, it is okay if you spit on the flag and give the finger to our troops for a couple weeks. After all, it is the NFL playoffs.

NEVER! I will not watch the playoffs. For the first time in 40+ years I will not watch the NFL.

And any FReepers watching should be ashamed of themselves.

Flip off it is. The NFL has become an arm of the SJWs. I’m done and never felt better.

If you were hurt by players peacefully protesting during the national anthem to raise awareness for police brutality and racial inequality or NFL owners not hiring Kaepernick and want to continue boycotting the NFL, then that’s fine. The league doesn’t need you.

I began the season by boycotting. I have since discovered that I could live through the whole NFL season without missing it, so I am no longer boycotting, simply doing other things.

The NFL can take a knee, stand, jump, or twirl about for all I care. In the end, it’s a boring sport played by thugs. I have better things to do than watch it.

I am not coming home. Doing more things with my family and friends on weekends. Never will I watch a game again. They mean nothing to me but family does.

Why? What the he(( have they done to show remorse for the disrespect they handed to the many veterans that flag and anthem represent. They demanded respect while disrespecting men and women that gave their lives and worse for this country not caring what color the citizens were and did it under conditions these guys will never see for more money than those gutsy vets will ever see.

Those players are paid to go to first class conditions with doctors to help them for free, for cuts and bruises that don’t start to stack up against the things vets go through. They have never had to go out on a football field and try to find all the pieces of a person that just got nailed that might still be alive. I have done that during a firefight in Vietnam and Iraq. Lost my stomach the first time.

Are they praying their family is going to be taken care of when they are down range and could get it at any second and not come back? Are they going to have almost no retirement program so the vet can, maybe, get by for the rest of his life? When’s the last time they saw a person with multiple limbs replaced from a football injury or mentally unable to handle a normal life?

I will never forgive them for what they did. They used the shoulders of those brave people to sell a point that didn’t change one bit as they did nothing but bitch about it when anyone in the US of sound mind knows there is a racial problem. I don’t care what you do. You are a failed representation of a human.

It is unfortunate that the only thing I can do is not support you financially. I wish you you would have to have walked in my boots when it got ugly and people died or were injured and in massive pain right in front of you.

You don’t deserve what you have, you don’t know what it is to earn it, and you are a group of self-centered, gutless, sponges. Keep your sport tough guys. It’s pansy compared to things the people you walked on did for you to have it. Just don’t expect people with a heart to support you. You don’t deserve that either.

Boycott NFL, including the Superbowl. This season is done. Next year, let’s see what they do to fix their problem.
