But players were told that they were to wear spikes commemorating 911 that they would be fined by the NFL. Boycott the Super Bowl 2017

It is foolish for the NFL to allow this.

If the NFL doesn’t quickly put a stop to this they are going to see a significant drop in attendance.

And that will lead to a corresponding drop in sales of NFL merchandise.

Geez, we have bred an group of THE most spoiled brat athletes.
WE can strike back, so to speak, by sending NASTY letters to their sponsors. E-mails are USELESS as they can be deleted and forgotten in a second.

LETTERS aren't so easily disposed of, especially with the ole "cc" [carbon copy] notation at the bottom which shows who ELSE is getting said copy of nasty letters.

I've used this method for DECADES and it never, I say, NEVER, fails.

1. LETTERS to sponsors
2. LETTERS to the team bigwigs
3. "cc" those letters to the local media, written and electronic

People HATE letters because they can't simply be "deleted." They can be forwarded, copied, added to and sent to ALL kinds of people.

AND, you know that our Post Office WILL send them on.

Marcus Peters has an Adidas endorsement. Boycott them and let them know why. Actually every time one of these spoiled Amish anti-American, most likely recently converted ISIS sympathizers takes a knee, raises a fist, or wont pledge allegiance let their sponsors know.

Who is still watching these losers who are laughing all the way to the bank just for throwing a ball around a field. Role models?

These idiots seem to be overlooking the pesky fact that they're but a mere 12% of the population, and generally held in ill-repute by the nation's other minorities.

Some would say that those kinds of numbers don't bode well for the prospects of an 'uprising', or whatever the hell they think they want.

Apparently not many math majors in their ranks . . .

I spoke to a Dem Trump-supporter today who said he will not watch the NFL for one second this year.

These idiots don’t understand they’re destroying the magic of the game and challenging the idea that athletes deserve sponsorship deals.People will start wondering, why should I listen to Nutcase Blowhard try to sell me tennis shoes?

Sounds as if the NFL is getting too political for everyone. Soon maybe we will have a modern equivalent of Nika Riots over what colors the teams wear and the meanings of those colors.

Did you watch any of the games?

The NFL will realize it’s foolish only if people like you and me stop supporting its products.

NFL players are a bunch of cowardly p*ssies. The ‘L’ stands for Losers.

And yet despite all the outrage, millions of Americans continue to watch the NFL, purchase NFL merchandise, host NFL football parties and purchase the products & services of the NFL sponsors.

We have become a nation of Bitches and whiners who lack the courage of their convictions.

If only 10% of Americans were willing to boycott the NFL and its financial interests this BS would stop before the end of the week.

But, no. We are nation of idiots, fools, drones and regards that are only willing to complain about our on blogs rather than take any meaningful action which will upset our comfortable lives. Welcome to the new USA.

We are our own worst enemy.

Lord have mercy upon us all.
