Maybe not football. But the NFL.

Are those who are protesting football here doing ANY shopping at Target Walmart or Amazon? Buying ANY Apple products? Using Microsoft when the Gates are so high on contraceptives?

So the only way to be "pure" is to live in a mud hut in Kenyan?

Yeah, so how about a boycott of the NAACP. Racist bigots put “Colored” in their name. So non-PC.

I used to enjoy football but a certain group of people ruin everything. I will be boycotting the NFL this year. And once I do, it will be a long time before I ever care to watch again.

We still watch college, high school.

Pro fans need a new league.

It’s a problem of his own making.

Hope he saved his millions, or whatever he made.

OTOH.... ;)

Anyway, I may be wrong, because I don’t watch sports that much, but it seems like it’s made up of a bunch of overpaid, ego-inflated jerks and it just costs too darn much to attend games anymore.

When my kids played baseball, we went to a minor league game with their teams and parents. It was fun, high-quality and cost a fraction of the price. We also went to a minor-league hockey game; same story.

Good idea, guys, since the 70% of the NFL players are black. If your stunt is successful, you just put your brothers on the unemployment line.

Maybe the NFL will die a quick dismal death over their idiocy (Goodell) for stepping into politics.

Now that 80% of their fans of morbidly obese drunks it may just happen.

Wow! How many patriots are boycotting because of the traitor?

Maybe the stands will be empty this year!

Thank you for supporting us, dear NAACP!
