I practice playing my guitar.
New England Patriots were a huge factor in my decision not to watch the NFL anymore.
I watch the Cowboys. They stand for the anthem, they tried to wear the decal honoring the cops-—the NFL wouldn’t let them.
That’s the best I can do.
Switch to UFC.
Thanks Crappernick.
That's good to hear but it's not enough.They should,in unison,be demanding that the overpaid punks who refuse to stand quit the bovine feces!
Gamblers and criminals will still watch...
I use my previous "watching" time doing something productive and just get the scores off the Internet later.
They were meant to be a distraction, something to take the mind off politics, wars, etc..
Now our modern day games have become totally PC and the networks that carry them like ESPN have now become another extension of the Left Wing Liberal Mantra we want to get away from. So the next natural question is this, if the the NFL, ESPN and the rest are going to take our last refuge of fantasy and escapism away them why bother to support and watch the product????
In addition to that I also believe that the NFL and NCAA has now reached a total saturation point with their product which also may lead to a downturn in ratings. I also find myself watching less and less, and frankly, can live without it.
Overall viewership appears to be down. Good.
Even if it goes up, I plan to do the right thing and stay away.
I soak and trim my toenails.
Time for the owners to dump Roger Goodell and his leftist politically correct crap or risk losing more than fans - the League's antitrust and tax exempt status.
I lost my passion for the Colts when Mr. Irsay let Peyton Manning go. I have further lost my passion for the colts by the way they’ve been running (ruining) Andrew Luck with their offensive scheme and defensive scheme. When Peyton finally got his 5th ring I was done... I don’t care about the egos, the drama and all that isn’t football.
I quit watching basketball because of the brawl by the Pacers in Detroit. I no longer respected the sport for keeping the instigators in the fold. In some way CK and his ilk have sealed it for me for Football.
But wait... there’s more. I’m also done with the liberal slant that the sports media has taken over the years. I watch football for the sport... or I did. I didn’t like it when Rush was a commentator and I don’t like it when they push liberal ideals at every turn.

I’m done with the NFL. My son is a harder sell though. He loves politics but he also loves football.
“Sports are supposed to be diversion. When they become part of what you are trying to divert yourself from, why bother watching?”

Post of the day. The same is true for entertainment. (TV/Movies)
Going on season 3 of NFL free.
To anyone still attached to the cable: Cut the cord, you won't regret it.
It’s because the crappy games they put on!
Fans don’t want to see CROSS CONFERENCE games first thing in the season!
We want to see DIVISIONAL RIVALRIES!
Look at the examples:
CAR/DEN NBC 14.6, -10%
NE/AZ NBC 13.1, -15%
PIT/WSH ESPN 7.7, -9%
BUT:
NYG/DAL (90%) FOX 15.5, +15%...................
NYJ/BUF CBS, NFLN 9.5 -26% ... Self Explanatory............
NFL has been hijacked by spoiled unpatriotic thuggery.
NFL won’t give a damn unless it costs them lots $$$$$$.
BOYCOTT them.
They are traitors to their countrymen.
