Don’t waste your time. That’s what the left does. I’m sure the Joe six-paks will deal with it in their own way. It’s called the silent majority.

I don’t think much needs to be organized. Pretty much unnecessary when total alienation is going on...

Exactly. There is already a protest against the NFL that is far more effective....they are losing business.

Given that the Lions were about to score, and the ref had his hand on the flag to throw it before the ball left the QB's hand (I'm sure the check in the mail), the NFL has these new problems on top of their old ones. Murphy's Law at work -- the Lions are going to have a good season, and the whole league's sullying itself. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

These things can only happen to the Lions.

The NFL can only lose this contest. NO ONE will ever go to a game or buy merchandise because of the NFL’s actions. The best the league can expect is that its fans stay loyal and don’t leave.

Michael Bennett sacked a white QB a week ago, then stood over the QB and made a Black power fist salute. He said it was for all “oppressed peoples”.

This is insane.

For my part, I have called my Senator Ted Cruz to ask why the Department of Defense is PAYING the NFL to “honor” our troops. Maybe if more people did this, the movement to remove the NFL from our Military’s budget.

Good for him, I already gave him my support at the article. I’ve also sent a letter to the editor at the Macomb Daily telling them I’m done with the NFL.......

In the name of social justice and in support of affirmative action, I am boycotting the NFL till 55% of the players are white, 30% Hispanic, 12% black and 1% native american and 2% asian.
