Boycott The NFL - the list of targets

Sports Business Daily ^ | 23 September 2015 | Sports Business Daily

The NFL this season has 32 league-wide category sponsors, including new brands in the auto and yogurt categories. Hyundai this season begins a four-year deal with the league. The automaker replaces GM, which had been the NFL’s official auto brand since ’01. Dannon, which began running Super Bowl spots in ’12, begins the first year of its league-wide deal after signing on in July '14. NFL corporate partnership benefits vary from deal to deal, but they typically include category exclusivity, use of league marks for advertising and promotional purposes, event signage, media exposure through radio, print and TV ads . . .

Apologies for this embedded at link list but it is from last year - As far as I can see, most of these "league partners" are current.

Please add your recommendations to thread. Lets withhold our money. #BoycottNFL

I would boycott the NFL if I watched them. Haven’t watched them for about 10 years and could not miss them any less.

National Felon League

And people pay top dollar to make these rapists and violent criminal rich.

Stupid beyond belief.

[knarf]

I wait for Patriots / Steeler match ups.

The only games worth watching.

[atc23]

Boycotting extends to their (NFL) corporate enablers too. The criminal NFL cultural rot is woven into so many things.

I find it really odd how “the oppressed” have caused the sales of $280 dollar Kaepernick football jerseys to “skyrocket”. I wonder how the sales are doing in third world African countries.

[Jim W N]

Here you go...

Niners, my team, at the top of the list. Very disappointing.

[jonathan-swift2000]

Gillette has been on my boycott list since they backed anti-gun laws in Massachusetts in the 1970’s. Thanks for the list. I only have used 3-4 of these companies, but NO MORE. The NFL is toast to me. Not on my diet plan.

[apocalypto]

This country has rewarded these ungrateful, pampered, and overpaid NFL players more than the police, nurses, teachers who provide essential services. Yet they turned against the USA. In what other country could they with their limited IQ and kills and often thug mentality become millionaires? They and the NFL that tolerates their behavior are disgusting.

[atc23]

yeah, Gillette has been a corporate partner for as long as I can remember. McDonalds hamburgers. Hyundai. (as if I needed that one) Target Stores. United Airlines. (the absolute worst anyway) Nike. AT&T. Apple . . .

[aquila48]

Simply don’t tune in.

I bet most football fans are Republicans - and most are against this crap, so you would think they would let the powers that be know. Or are they so addicted that they can’t go without the fix?

We will soon know.

[bennowens]

The NFL has an antitrust exemption from congress. It is time to revisit this policy after they continually stick their gold plated thumb in the eye of the American public!

[SkyDancer]

Pull a “Target” on them. We’ve seen how the boycott of them worked so well. I’m waiting to see what the Seahawks will do Sunday - lots of chatter on will they sit or stand as a team.

[Herman Ball]

I have news for you friend. I am an old Ford Man and I love Honda. I think Honda is the best car on the road in America. In saying that I bought a Hyundai Sonata back in 2006,my son has it today no trouble and a very good automobile. Since then I bought a 2013 Hyundai Elantra for my daughter,so far good service and very good car. I now have a 2014 Hyundai Sonata and having a great experience so far. I guess I am superstitious and it fears me to say how great they have been. But I defend the brand and wish someone in the know what start a petition to Hyundai,they are a South Korean Manufacturer and located in America. But do not shoot them until they have a chance and you do not know what their contract with the NFL says. The mighty GM has been bailed out by this country and still puts out crap and I know folks who have been screwed by them over they defects and our government supporting them. Wake up America.

[Be Careful]

Does any legal eagle freeper know of a way to make a case for “mis-use of public funds”.....(struggling here for the correct legal framework)....these pro teams receive incredible public funding, even if is in the form of indirect subsidies.

I do know that at least in Seattle, room tax etc etc is discussed and implemented in the context of how much revenue will come in because of the Mariners and Seahawks.

Does this venue (pro sports) violate public use of funds with any form of political protest?

If the Seahawks do go thru with tomorrow’s game protest, then Texas teams have a case.

Yes? No?

Am I wrong?

[forgotten man]

There will be a ballot proposition D on the ballot in San Diego in November. If it passes, the taxpayers of San Diego will pay for a new Charger stadium. The Charger ownership had better tell their players to stand for the National Anthem or else. San Diego is not San Francisco. If one or more Chargers do not stand for the anthem the Chargers will not be missed. Let them pack their crap and get out of town. Are you listening Spanos?

[Albion Wilde]

sponsors, including new brands in the auto and yogurt categories.

Yogurt -- just what the majority of football fans want to see ads for! (Unless, or course, it is muslim-owned Chobani. Everybody wants to see their ads.) /s

[waus]

The symbolism of the Super Bowl halftime shows proves that the NFL is a puppet for the nwo.

[koalkracker1981]

I’m in the same boat. Haven’t watched in 3 years. I could care less about the NFL or any professional sport. But, I especially find the NFL deplorable. :)

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I am sending this to the sponsors that I will no longer be using. I suggest as many others do as well - dollars speak to these yahoos and that is about the only thing they hear.

“A number of professional athletes associated with the NFL have decided to boycott the playing of the National Anthem at the beginning of games. One kept his seat, another knelt while others stood with their hands on their hearts. It is now rumored that the entire Seattle Seahawks team and the Miami Dolphins are now planning to protest on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 by some action during the Anthem.

I have not heard even a word of protest by your organization and as you are a sponsor of the NFL - I have decided that I must boycott your product. I understand that I am very much not alone in this. It is a shame that they would do this and that you would give your tacit approval.”
