You have placed your country above a stupid game. Isn't it great a number of Freepers here put their money where their mouths are and when they say they boycott the NFL..they actually do. Unlike some..well, never mind ;)
First time I haven’t watched a minute of the SB in decades.
I annually spent THOUSANDs on the NFL.
Game tickets, travel, hotel, meals/bar, NFL Sunday Ticket, NFL Game Pass.
No more. Not a penny till they stop the SJW horseshit.
I did not watch a single game all season. Never again will I watch any NFL product.
Congrats. You are a true American.
The tv ratings were way down ,even below last year. We recorded it and then watched only the commercials ( which stunk) . after a commercial we sped quickly past the game to the next commercial. It was funny.
I watched ten minutes of pre-game because I wanted to see the P-51/A-10/F-16 fly-over, which on the broadcast was a great big nothing-burger. Other than that, I played a little Battlefield 1, read a book, and examined the insides of my eyelids for a bit.
I got invited 5 times. Turned them all down. Thought I was crazy. It’s nice having a girlfriend who understood. She didn’t give a crap about it either LOL
We did not watch and declined our neighbors party.
LOL
Haven’t watched for years.
And the next time the city goes around tin cupping for a new stadium and threatening to move if they don’t get their way, I will be on the committee to fight against them. And FIGHT, I WLL!!!!
I wish I could accept the thanks.
But it’s hard to boycott something you haven’t watched since 1987.
I turned down FIVE offers. Guess what? Life goes on..
It is time for us to fight back even more. Winning!

Just FYI, even if people boycotted the game by turning off their TVs, several acquaintances of mine reported turning their TVs on during gametime to watch something else, only to discover that the cable/dish company had changed the channel on their box to the game. They normally do not watch the channel the game was being broadcast on, so they know they would never have selected that channel themselves. It’s quite likely that even the lower numbers of this year’s game are inflated by the cable providers taking over subscribers’ cable boxes.
If the kneelers would continue this behavior after their pay was topped of at 100K, THEN I would truly believe their sincerity.
Was not hard for me.
Brady, Belichick and the Pats vs. anything from Philadelphia = an easy “none of the above” in Pittsburgh.
Anyone is free to boycott anything. But saying that boycotting the Super Bowl is “patriotic” and being a “good American”, when Armed Service members are there in attendance, and being honored for their service, along with many true patriotic Americans who support for teams,....is the height of Chutzpah!
Also very self-righteous and elitist!
I watched... it was a pretty good game... and tom baby got all wee weed up.

Never heard of that before.
