And a lot of fans won’t come back even if they stop disrespecting America.

I quit watching a long time back.... once in a while I would look at a game. When the NFL treated this hatred of America by the employees as something okay to do, I shut down.

Bye NFL. Wither on the vine.

Not just this, but I'm boycotting the NCAA and ACC for their actions withdrawing sporting events due to NC HB2 (transgender bathroom) bill.

This stuff cuts both ways baby, and I am voting with my eyes and wallet...

“So, many experts might dismiss the survey as politically biased.”

Never mind them then, just check your ratings.

What are your advertisers telling you?

NFL, you already know how badly this is affecting you and the price you are paying for these ungrateful, racist, anti-American, deplorable, babies’ actions.

FUNFL

My husband boycotted immediately and this is significant as he played football for a state college in the early 80’s and has been a life long dedicated fan.

There is nothing more repulsive than a man wearing the team jersey, complete with name, of a radical SJW.

Get a life, dude.

And Nevada politicians and RINO Gov. want taxpayer funding for a proposed NFL stadium.

Legislature to weigh funding for NFL stadium starting Monday

By Michelle Rindels, Associated Press

Updated Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2016 | 1:13 p.m.

Nevada lawmakers will meet next week to consider raising a hotel tax for an NFL stadium, convention center expansion and more police officers in the Las Vegas area.

Gov. Brian Sandoval announced Wednesday that a special legislative session is scheduled for 8 a.m. Monday. Lawmakers typically only meet once every two years and aren’t scheduled to reconvene until February. But stadium backers have urged quick action so the NFL owners can decide, perhaps in January, whether they’ll let the Raiders move from Oakland to Las Vegas.

“Now is the time to capitalize on the opportunity before us to invest in Nevada’s most foundational industry, tourism,” Sandoval said in a statement. “We can and must usher in a new era for tourism in the Las Vegas market.”

The proposed 65,000-seat domed stadium would be funded with $750 million in hotel room taxes, along with $650 million from the family of Las Vegas Sands casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and $500 million from the Raiders and the NFL. Critics, including faith-based groups and the powerful Culinary Union that’s made up of hospitality workers, question whether the stadium will bring the promised economic benefits and don’t like that public funds could support a project backed by one of the world’s richest men.

Haven’t watched a game all season. There is life after the NFL after all. The college game is much better and more competitive.

This is just another reason to stop watching football. In Chicago its easy. The Bears give you plenty of reasons alone. But the knee is another one. And players getting millions to suck and belittle the country is hard to support.

But for me. I can’t stand that they keep changing the game so that people don’t get hit. Football is about hard hits. When you penalize big hits, I get bored.

Does this even impact the NFL directly?

I guess it depends on the TV contract. Are they paid by ratings, or is the contract for a flat fee regardless of ratings?

I only watched the Cowboys vs 49’ers game last week because I’m a Cowboy fan and because I wanted to see them kick the crap out of the 49’ers because they deserve it letting that a$$hat get away with taking a knee to the national anthem. I hope he feels good knowing he’s cursed his whole team’s season fighting for a fake cause.

More corporations are going down the road of politically correct imagery at the expense of profitability. Reminds me of Twentieth Century Motors. But the CEO’s don’t care, they have their golden parachute, their bonuses, and they are generic interchangeable yuppies. This kind of crap should be starting wholesale shareholder revolts.

I think many Americans are saying enough is enough!

And this bodes well for Trump!

It’s a real sacrifice for many of the football devotees to boycott the NFL. For others, it’s not a sacrifice at all.

Last year was a great year for football. Excellent games with teams really getting out there and playing their hearts out.

This year, the snowflake generation took the field and turned the football field into a daycare center.

I think too many people on the Left don't realize that NFL fans--already bombarded with political news and increasing ads essentially 24/7 now--wanting to see football games where such partisan politics are put aside.

The very fact we're see it in during NFL games has turned off a LOT of fans on TV, and as such if the TV ratings slide continues the broadcast partners will be forced to invoke "make good" policies on advertising, which will really hammer the profits of the NFL's broadcast partners.
