If you are one of those dedicated protestors who are still holding out, Sunday is your greatest challenge.

Actually no challenge at all.

[blaveda]

Here! Here!

[hal ogen]

I agree. No challenge...just not supporting anti~American BS.

Used to be on year after year... we loved it! Boycotted last year too so not sure we'll count but absolutely will not be on our TV or ipad and we won't be recording it! Still they will take over Twitter and nobody will know that they gave America the big FU and we've given it back! We're done!

Will NFL boycott over Colin Kaepernick harm Super Bowl TV ratings?
Perhaps you are one of the football fans who boycotted the NFL this season either because of player protests during the national anthem or because Colin Kaepernick, who started the movement, was never added to a roster.

This has got to be one of the most bizarre, twisted spinning whirlwind takes on the NFL issue that I've seen yet!

Imagine (suggests Yahoo) ... that Football fans are boycotting the NFL because Kaepernick wasn't signed to a roster this season!!! It just doesn't get any weirder than this.

And just who is this "Yahoo" (which used to be an internet search-engine) ... and when did Yahoo become a "news organization" ??? I must've missed the memo .....

Yes it will.

I have likened my breakup with the nfl as a breakup with a hot woman that cheated on you multiple times.

Over time, you miss her (sex) less and less. You start looking at other women and maybe even find a new one (new activities on Sunday and Monday).

By now the people who have discommodated the nfl are NOT looking for a one-night stand. We have moved on.

Ratings will be down, down, down. LOTS of ad revenue to be refunded.

I will watch the opening portion. If any team member is disrespectful of the Anthem or the Flag, I will tune out the game and start a boycott of sponsors for a year.

Please do not test me.

BTTTT!

[Billthedrill]

We have moved on.

Yeah, I'm not even sure I can call my own reaction a "boycott" anymore, since I won't be back and have completely lost interest anyway. After all, "hey, we stopped peeing on the flag now!" isn't much of a sales pitch.

Sunday is your greatest challenge.

No challenge at all. To Hell with the NFL!

Might watch the fourth Quarter..have not watched all year...

lost all interest when I moved to Florida..the weather is not like Green Bay in the winter time..

[calljack]

I don’t think so. I would recommend that they keep doing it. In fact, they should redouble their efforts. We should encourage them to stick to their guns. I have no doubt that the average American will eventually see the light and agree that this particular batch of millionaires actually knows better than the vast majority of ignorant rubes who live here.

I won't be watching....and I've lived my entire life within 20 miles of Foxborough.

Duh!
Boycott the advertisers too.
Watch the ads on youtube.

Attention all:
“discostu” is a ‘sleeper cell’ troll.
Observe the posting history: a 10 and 7 year gap.

[dfwgator]

If you want to watch the SB, but not have it count in the ratings find a live stream on YouTube and just watch that.

[discostu]

That’s a lie. You’re a liar.

[jyo19]

I won’t be watching. Hoping the product Vince McMahon puts out is able to compete with the NFL and bring it a peg lower while requiring all employees to stand for the national anthem.
