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.

According to news reports, the 49er’s are 1-7 this morning. More good news !!!

Apparently I'm in on the boycott too, if even unintentionally. I just had several other things I wanted/needed to get done yesterday and thus did not watch either my wife's favorite team nor mine. I checked in online a couple of times to get updates on the scores. But I did not watch and subject myself to vapid announcers or rampant beer/truck commercials for products I will not buy.

Perhaps my situation should be even more scary to the NFL. Viewers that get angry over a particular issue (eg. not standing for the National Anthem) and boycott can be relatively easily mollified with a policy change or a reprimand to the player(s). Viewers that have just generally lost interest represent a problem with no specific cause and thus no specific or easily identified & implemented cure.
