Wasn’t sports where we went to get away from this crap? Now the NFL, the biggest, manliest and meanest sports spectacle on earth has players pouting and sucking their thumbs in protest.

I am losing interest fast.

I told you this was going to happen. He wasn't making a statement, he was making a challenge. Sit down and 'stick it to da man,' or yuse wit da man.

Told my wife today, I'm no longer going to spend $600 for the one Redskin's game I really wanted to see live this year - I'll watch it from home ...

Stuff like this will simply push more Americans to VOTE for Trump this November.

Never have bothered watching professional sports; NFL, MLB, NBA, all the same to me.
Bunch of assholes on steroids who cheat and glorify the thug life at the drop of a hat.
Only have one thing going for them; the ability to throw or catch a ball, a trained circus seal can do the same thing.
Most of them make more in a month than a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps will make in his lifetime, and LOSE it faster than a Private on liberty at Subic Bay.

Does anybody remember the Anita Bryant controversy from decades ago when the Orange Juice spokeswoman came out against gay rights. She lost her job because the Florida Orange Juice Association said that when people heard her name, they now thought of homosexuals and not of orange juice. In other words, she had tainted her own brand. People no longer had a warm fuzzy feeling when the beauty queen tried to pitch orange juice in her commercials. They thought of controversy instead. DITTO FOR THIS FOOTBALL CONTROVERSY.

Limbaugh can take his Apple, his NFL, his golf, and his tea and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Let the NFL thugs/owners/tvnets commit Macycide/Targetcide since being PC and anti America is more important to them, than, providing good entertainment without their PC BS.

We pulled the plug on ABCNNBCBS fake news when Reagan was president and cancelled subscriptions to Time/Newsweak and the Gay SF Chronicle.

I was a 49er fan up to two years ago. Now, I say adios mo fos!

Feel good and forget these losers.

Armored gorillas standing around having meetings and occasional fights isn’t interesting.

“NFL seems to be succumbing to PC.”

A few years ago, they were wrapping themselves with the flag.

Well, between this and the concussion problem, we’ll see how this goes.

See, their money comes from TV and endorsements or the rich team owners, not the fans. That’s how it works in their heads. See Target, JC Penney and Sears for examples of what happens when you piss off customers.

i have no idea why anyone still bothers to watch that crap.

I can't remember the last time i watched a football game (probably in the 90’s)

A bunch of over egotistical millionaire teenage mentality types.

I would love to see people shun the NFL. There are so many other things to do on your day off.

In football many of’em never even touch the ball, their only job is to HIT somebody.

If I want to watch people hit each other I can just go stand outside the local wetback night club on a friday night; hell they even use knives and guns, it’s real blood.
