I’m in on the boycott! Other than the opening game for the Bucs, I’ve not watched a moment of the NFL. Even had the sports bar I was in yesterday, turn on a cooking show rather than the NFL on one of their TV’s.

I watched part of the Browns game because they're the best comedy on TV. It's tough to watch with the players wearing pink for breast cancer. Think about it.....they're politically correct about that, but there's no political correctness about patriotism/

Off the topic....what is the point of having play start at the 25yd line instead of 20?

Although I am a Cowboys fan for the last 39 years, and Jerry Jones did say all the right things about Colin, I still am glad to see the NFL getting it’s just desserts.

Who wants to watch 2.5 hours of talking heads and commercials? 2 hours of Redzone takes care of highlights and scores for me.

I think the lower numbers are because fans are not watching games their favorite team is not playing in. I have been watching the Steelers myself, but I did not even watch them this weekend. I used to watch the Sunday and Monday night games no matter who was playing, but no more.

Many reasons I can think of for the decline:

The match ups in prime time have, by and large, been awful. Who wants to watch two losing teams play each other.

The disrespect toward the National Anthem.

The constant interruptions in the game due to questionable penalties and call reviews.

The length of the games and the incessant bombarding of ads is over the top. Games run for about four hours. The clock runs for one hour. Yet the time where there is actual action is only about 11 minutes! If you have to watch, DVR it and spend 11 minutes watching it rather than wasting four hours.

The NFL has gotten so greedy. The axiom “pigs get fat, but hogs get slaughtered” is becoming applicable.

Some cite the brutality and injuries stemming from the game, but it’s always been like that, so I’m not sure. It is certain that due to the potential for serious injury, many parents are wary of having their kids involved, opting for soccer or other sports without the extreme contact.

I don't think many people are "boycotting" the NFL these days.

I'd venture to guess that 90% (or more) of the fans who have stopped watching NFL games to protest the whole Kaepernick/national anthem debacle are never coming back. Once they find something else to do with their time on Sunday afternoons and a couple of nights during the week, they realize what an enormous waste of time a televised NFL game is.

I quit watching the NFL and don’t even care about scores... I have been a die hard fan since 1969 and loved the Bengals thru thick n thin. Even my brother was buried with a Bengals cap at his side.... I will probably never get back to watching the games after canceling NFL DirecTV my wife is happier that I gave her my Sunday’s back!
