Be Careful,
If you knew what the contract is that Paul Allen, owner of the Seahawks, has with the city, county and state, you’d just about laugh at how stupid the Washingtonians are. To put it on the easy side, they built him a stadium that they maintain, a parking lot they maintain, a show case center they maintain, and a pro shop they staff and get the sales items. Out of all the profits, Allen gets: 100% of the football revenues, 50% of all other stadium use events to include pro soccer, and 50% of the parking, the parking garage, and all of the showcase events. Allen supplies the team, and insures the parking garage. And if you want to know just how crass football fans are, the number one selling jersey currently is Kaepernick’s.
Think the public will do anything about it. Not until it harms them.

Gotcha beat.... 15 years of not watching the NFL for me.
Don’t care for or don’t use the majority of the products and services on their boycott list.
That’s a good list. I have a couple of those products and use Fedex but UPS is just as lib.
Kaepernick jersey number 1 in sales - figures. Wait till the inventory is cleared. They may not make jerseys for back up bellyachers
Is the NFL still around?
I didn’t realize that.
Great letter - I think the only sponsor I use on that list is FedEx. Once I n a while I get a yen for a Filet o Fish and some of those fries - once in a great while and never now!
I quit all pro sports in the late 80’s because of abject moral bankruptcy, now if Mr Trump were to make a very public statement about this it might have a huge effect
The NFL is filthy when it comes to money. they will take a buck any way it is possible.
Look at Mike Vick. Here’s a guy that was arrested on dog fighting laws, and sentenced to 18 months in jail. They looked at the interstate gambling ring he was funding and waived the prosecution on it. The ring, by being interstate, created untried charges of money laundering and racketeering which causes a minimum 20 years federal pen sentence. And after he was released, he was brought back with open arms with the Eagles, Jets, Steelers and is now an unsigned free agent still available to play in the NFL. Oh, I forgot to tell you about the marijuana he also was not called on the carpet for when one of his trucks was busted.
And I don’t think I have to tell you about Pacman Jones, Aaron Hernandez, Ray Lewis, Jim Dunaway, Darrel Russel, Rae Carruth..............They’re all filthy. And the NFL loves them. And a lot more.

Of that list I use 7 mostly food products outside the US. I’ll do my best to find alternatives.
