Poll: 75 Percent of Football Fans Feel Justified Boycotting 49ers over Kaepernick
Breitbart ^

Posted on 09/09/2016 9:52:56 AM PDT by detective

More than 75 percent of football fans feel justified in boycotting the San Francisco 49ers over quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem.

Here is the data provided to Breitbart News by the California-based new data firm Zip:

Out of a sample of 4,487 users, the Zip team found that over 75% of football fans feel justified in boycotting the 49ers because of Kaepernick’s actions. Users weighed in from across all 50 states and Washington D.C., with approximately an equal number of men and women also saying they would support the 49ers if they choose to fire Kaepernick.

Our platform draws people from all backgrounds, political parties, genders, interests, and ages because of its anonymous design. There is no technological way for users to vote more than once on a question, and no way for users to bully or harass others whose opinions they don’t agree with, so the data we retrieve and the trends we see are completely neutral and unaltered.

This represents yet another example of an un-adulterated poll yielding conservative results.

I wouldn't pay to watch the 49ers until they cut Kaepernick.

I would never subsidize the hate America attitude.

I’m getting rid of the entire season and the league until this matter is resolved.

Get rid of them or lose me forever. That’s it.

I won’t watch the NFL while this crap remains in the news.

I’m not just boycotting the 49ers, this is spreading and the NFL does not seem to realize what nation they are the National Football League of.

Stop giving them your money.
When they have to get real jobs, their attitudes will change.

Shut up and play football.

Or more pointed, if I did something that my employers customers didn’t like I’d be repremanded and maybe even fired. When working for someone you have to respect their rules or quit.

It will only make a difference if 75% of the season ticket holders turn in their tickets.

You want to get Kaepernick’s goat? Just patronize him.

Pat him on the head as if he were a retarded 12 year old who just managed to tie his shoe.

That’s the type of stuff that burns up the typical obnoxious white liberal.

Talk is worthless. Stop buying tickets to hit them where it counts.

Good point. Don't give any money to the NFL as long as they take this hate America attitude.

Remember the NFL refused to allow the Cowboys to honor the murdered police officers in Dallas.

Surprised people still watch sports like football and basketball. I stopped in 1992.

I believe it. This doesn’t need to go on for much longer to become a marketing disaster of colossal proportions for the NFL. You can bounce back from a strike year but not if it’s the fans who are on strike.

This is going to spread to other sports as well... basketball, baseball, you name it. I’m prepared to give it all up.

I was a big fan of the 49ers.

No more.

The 49er organization needs to play Jeff Fisher’s talk to his team.

If the NFL loses half their audience — fine by me. The rest can watch NFL on pay-per-view or some cable channel — like hockey fans and boxing fans do. They are no longer on major broadcast networks...

The 49ers need to unload this guy...

They all wear American flag decals on their helmets. Their logo resembles the flag. The NBA has it in its labor agreement with the players that they must all stand for the playing of the national anthem. I blame the management of the NFL for not taking a stand on this issue. If they want to politicize the league, then it should lose its anti-trust status.

Doesn’t mean 75% will, just means they’re OK with the people who do.

Wow, a boycott I can actually join. Usually I already don’t patronize the product/company being boycotted. But I do watch NFL football. No more Niner games while Kap is on the roster.

I will only watch my team play. All other games will be blacked out. No pun intended. Players get 65% or so of the revenues. Usually I watch 3-4 games/week. It has now been cut to one. Except bye week when NFL football will not be shown. See how the rubes love disrespecting our country as their TV revenues drop. LOL

The NFL has become saturated with politics, political correctness, advertising, and too much showboating by overpaid prima donna athletes. Not worth watching in my opinion.
