It was ever thus.

I view the football Giants and baseball Yankees as classier alternatives to the Jets and Mets; I believe their owners really want a distinction drawn. I didn’t see Beckham (I find it hard to watch games with all the commercials), but I’m not surprised.

South Park had an episode where everyone showed up at a volleyball game to see whether the cheerleaders would sit to protest trolling by boys; everyone left after seeing which ones sat (not out of protest, but because that was all they were interested in), and the volleyball game was played in front of a couple of spectators.

I love football. But I have not watched an NFL game at all this season, and I won’t watch one for the rest of the season. Pro football has become intolerable. College football, though; now, that is something special, and I watch that with great passion and enjoyment.

The target needs to be the sponsors as well as the NFL. Email, call whatever, express your anger at them subsidizing gangster thug millionaires who hate our nation. Let them know exactly why you will not buy their product and do everything you can to hurt them financially.

The NFL is a league whose "talent" is represented by dog killers, wife beaters and cop haters. If those in charge are unable to reform it the league should be driven out of business.

BOYCOTT.

Amen to that, his silence betrays him. This faux patriotism, displayed by the NFL, has been exposed and true patriots will turn off Their TV’s and turn Their backs on the NFL!

“The NFL is experiencing the Trump Effect.”

I’m especially looking forward to when the Trump Effect hits our public schools and colleges.

What happens when even the circus fails to distract? The natives are restless.

Spending a Sunday watching the NFL used to be a way of avoiding all the things that irritated us. We all have them, liberals & conservatives alike. But the NFL has now become socially conscious, and to make it worse for us conservatives, they have a distinct leftward tilt to everything they do. It’s bad business, but the billionaire owners don’t really care. The real value of their franchises is stored in the free-stadium deals, merchandising and the sale-price of their franchise. A downturn in viewer-ship would have to be sustained for a long period before the average franchise value is negatively impacted.

Not only did I suspect that they approved of their Cop and White American hating half time show, they offered no apologies. Not that I would have changed my mind. There are better things to do with a Sunday.

Keep up the good work.

And just a reminder, don’t buy ANY NFL paraphernalia of any kind. That will have a significant impact as well.

The NFL doesn’t realize what FOX didn’t, namely, that once many of us stop watching we find out that we don’t miss it as much as we thought we would.

I’m just fine after cutting off FOX after the first ‘debate’, and I’m realizing I’ve got better things to do with my time and money than support the grossly overpaid anti-American thugs on gridiron.

Lady Gag-Gag will ensure the halftime show will be a total FAGfest.

The way to stop these idiots from their disrespectful actions is to keep the camera OFF then while the anthem is played and instruct the announcers to make no mention of who kneels or if there is anyone kneeling at all.

Once stripped of their public stage they will quickly forget about this because all that will be left is the boos of the fans in attendance and their being trashed on public media.

“...the black players will just go on strike, en masse. Season over.”

LOL, and pay for their mansions, cars etc how? You don’t seriously believe these putz’s would give up multimillion dollar salaries for something like this, do you?

White men are responsible for the NFL becoming a billion dollar industry, so what’s the NFL’s response: Do everything in their power to anger and marginalize white men.....way to go, morons.

As I previously posted, all that needs to be done to stop this is take away the stage these clowns now have. When the Anthem is played the cameras should all be on the flag and not on the field or the players.

Trust me, this will all stop within a couple of weeks when it is obvious no one is seeing them except the fans in the park and we know that the YUUUGE majority are NOT with them as is evidenced by the boo’s.
