Ya, that gets me too. It’s not that I opposed women reporters necessarily, but, they clearly have no knowledge of football, and they are asking questions that add nothing to the broadcast.

Add the first two, 26 and 24 percent and you have 50% that are sick and tired of the NFL catering to anti-american and social “causes” instead of just remaining neutral and playing football.

NFL lost fan loyalty by changing the team names and locations too many times.

That's ANOTHER thing that I don't like. Thanks for the reminder.

I agree. I used to watch a lot of NFL games, but I just can’t stand watching anymore. The politics, the commercials, I just have no interest in spending my time watching that anymore - particularly when I know a fair number of the players don’t even like me because of what they think I represent.

It’s not just Krappydink, it is every entertainer that disrespects the anthem by “personalizing” it. Anthem comes on, I mute the TV and sing to myself. Not about to listen to some idiot butcher it.

Which reminds me, Canadian teams play “Oh, Canada” and nobody butchers that anthem.

It is also the “Pink October” BS.

It is also the commercials after TD, after ensuing kick-off, during replays, and on and on.

Which is why I DVR games and watch them as I wish.

It is also the idiot reporterettes asking, “What do you need to do to get back in this game?”

“DUH! Score more points.”

I don’t think I watched a single regular season game. Not sure if I will this year, either.

The protests, yes, but also everyone is tired of watching the Patriots.

Just sick of the same thing seen over and over again.

The NFL just has to raise ticket prices. That will fix the problem.

I would personally like to thank Colin Kaepernick. Thanks to him I no longer have a hefty cable bill.

Never been happier or had more cash in my pocket.

If they don’t respect our flag, they aren’t part of any American sport. Don’t take us fo r granted.

I figured I could stick it to big media by not watching the NFL. The TV and print reporters always take the liberal side be it “hands up don’t shoot” or not standing for the national anthem, or Costas rant on gun control. I saw less than 10 plays last year. Will see none this year.

Sick of the thuggification of the NFL in general, including the complete unfair treatment of white players from college on up. Enjoyed only watching the Patriots offense. The only coach not buying into the agenda is Bellicheck.

Ghetto opera! I hate it as well, if you don’t know the words or can’t sing just stop it, don’t sing if offered the chance.

To all of the SJW’s at ESPN who denied this obvious explanation: SUCK IT!

I watch a lot of baseball, always have, for those of you that watched the World Series last year - you didn’t see any of that BS. The teams lined up respectfully on the baselines during the National Anthem. Being a Cub fan I watch most of the games on Cox Sports Net and, strangely, the announcers talk about baseball the ENTIRE game.

I don’t know if it is the same in all markets (San Fran Giants???) but so far it doesn’t make me mad to watch it.

anyone rehiring Kaepernick would spark ANOTHER multi-billion loss for the NFL.

Just this morning ESPN had a segment all about kaepernick.
As soon as his mug appeared on the tv i turned the channel.
They both can kiss my ass and go to hell.

When the fat, middle-aged white guy with the mustard stain on his shirt stops giving a damn about the NFL, it’s over.
