It wasn’t last year and it won’t be this year.

My boycott started at the beginning of last season, however as I was flipping by channels today I caught a glimpse of the Pittsburgh Steelers home opener. OPENING DAY and the place is only 2/3 full. It's a movement now! In addition, can you image the merchandising hit they are taking?

Doubling down, the player's union voter Colin Krapernick, Week 1, MVP.

San Diego State beat Stanford with under a minute to go 20-17. Great day.
Stanford’s RB Love is top of the shelf great.

Tom is on the field; Tom is on my TV.

“Games are for children. Most grow out of it.”

I had a professor give his parting speech in the final class of the semester that said something similar.

But the way you put it is a little more hard-hitting! Some people are going to reevaluate their Sunday routine I bet.

How old are you? And do you bother your kids when the pic isn’t working?

There is nothing wrong with watching a game or being a fan.

There IS a problem thinking these teams are anything except money making machines.

There ARE things to worship on Sundays. The NFL doesn’t come close to being one of those thing.

I used to spend my week ends photographing sports. I remain respectful of their talents which are best seen up close.

I quit watching pro football last year after I observed black players beyond Kapernick started their political protests on the field. The Hands up don't shoot crowd was bad enough but the not standing for our flag and our National Anthem was enough for me. Eff them and the NFL for allowing that crap thus totally disrespecting us, our country and those in the US military. Arrogant narcissistic ass wipes the all.

Just like the NBA.

Large black men exerting themselves occasionally.

I am watching all day long. Tonight, and tomorrow night. Plenty of God fearing blue blooded Americans taking the field. I support those that stand.

Kinda like Hollywood.....I stopped watching those who suddenly thought I would give a rats butt what their political opinions are. It’s real easy to turn the channel or pick a movie I’d rather watch without them.....and since Netflex offers a lot of new talent, who keep their political views to themselves...we do have options!

Some would even say the same thing about the BLM protesters. I just don’t think I would apply your comments to NFL players.

I am tuning out.

Horatio Hornblower reruns

C. S. Forester, one of my favorite authors. Good books, I think I read all of them.
