I gave up last year. I still enjoy football that is played on Saturdays.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Enjoy it while you can. The NCAA is even more PC mush-minded than the NFL.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I quit last year after being a Packer fan for 50 years.

They do not like being the football league of this nation, let them find another.

[V_TWIN]

Yep, also, espn is doodoo.

I gave up on the NFL 20 years ago. I was way ahead of the curve.

Youtube:    Pittsburgh fan, viral  "Done with NFL,  3:18

"............... Pittsburgh Steelers fan—who said his name is Robert L. Williams, a master electrician from Texas, said he’s “done with the NFL.”

He took out “a $450 leather jacket” with the Steelers logo on the back. “Watch me burn it,” Williams stated. He also took out his hats and sweaters.

“My great uncle’s bones are lying in the bones of Pearl Harbor,” Williams added. “You do not disrespect the flag and the country, and the Constitution, and why we have our freedoms,” he said. “So watch this stuff burn.”?.............

This is the Left’s attempt to destroy everything that we enjoy in life.

Me too but I skip Saturday too. The NCAA is even worse than the NFL in my opinion. Doubt it? Just look at how they piled on NC last year over the bathroom bill.

[Snickering Hound]

NFL audience is 75% white and 70% over 35...

[EnglishOnly]

Yep, Saturday is the Football Day with College Teams and I will watch it unless they go the way of NFL?

I stopped watching NFL last year, (also MLB) and I don’t miss it one bit. I enjoy my Sundays doing other activities, I Boycott Pro Basketball, Pro Football, Pro Baseball, not the NHL though. The NHL is worth watching.

Check Bill O’s.....message on Hannity last night. It’s worth a look and it’s the Truth. Amnen.

[allendale]

Either Tomlin resigns as Steeler’s coach or the franchise will rot.

[NTHockey]

Unlike Liberals who threatened to leave the USA after the election - and didn’t - football fans who leave won’t be back for a long time, if at all. That was the painful lesson MLB learned.

I call my team the Voodoo Satans. Nothing saintly about the New Orleans team.

I sent an email to both my state Rep and state Senator to pull Louisiana taxpayer funds from the Voodoo Satans (you might call them the Saints).

I also sent an email to the TV station that handles both Sunday Night Football and Fox sports that I am boycotting the NFL programming. This is KADN 15.1 (Fox), 15.2 and 46.1 (NBC)

Why not support your local rec programs. Watch the kids and maybe do a big brother, big sis thing. Volunteer to help in some way. Many kids do not have any encouragement from home. Let’s face it. . .if you haven’t played catch or hoops in the driveway, you are probably not going to be involved in sports in school. I am seeing it with the students at the school where I sub.

I think a lot of the ‘problem’ lies in the fact that the players started something in regards to the cops being murderers etc and nothing was said.

Dallas wanted to honor 4 policeman who were assassinated and the league FINALLY stepped in and said they couldn’t.

Then K started his BS and no one - open & Officially - said a word against it which just emboldened the rest of the ‘copy cats’.

I think the owners & NFL (asshats they are for allowing it to get this far) figured they would step in with the ‘solidarity’ by linking arms etc.

I really don’t blame the QBs and RBs for ‘supporting’ their defenders BUT once out of hand they found it necessary to chastise the FANS — Yeah, the suckers that buy the overpriced stadium stuff, buy products with the players names on it etc....

These IDIOTS - collectively and especially the ones that stand out by name - Brady, Popovich, Rogers etal didn’t even try to differentiate between the ‘good fans’ and ‘bad fans’, they just attacked all of them.

Good luck.....

I still say that if people show up at the next game and buy nothing once inside - that will send a message to the owners..
OR better yet, the POLICE that the owners and teams supposedly ‘hate’ just didn’t show up for traffic control and security at the park

Would really be good for once the players ‘take a knee’ that the FANS all join in the National Anthem then turn around and file out of the stadium.

[forgotten man]

I am looking forward to NFL Football next weekend with eager anticipation.....to see how much the TV ratings drop when compared to same weekend last year. If they are down 7% or more I will cheer loudly and crack open an ice cold can of non-Budwieser.

Here is the cat in the bag. Please let it out.

‘This is what real locker room talk is’: The NFL’s Joe Lockhart levels a shot at Trump

Joe Lockhart, the NFL’s executive vice president of communications, wasn’t messing around Monday.

A former White House press secretary under President Clinton, Lockhart used surgical precision in leveling a shot at President Trump

Lockhart was a strategist in the Clinton White House during the Monica Lewinsky scandal

Lockhart’s comment shows that sports and politics in the Trump era aren’t going to be untangled anytime soon and, frankly, that’s probably partly why he was hired.

Lockhart, a former TV producer and the son of journalists, joined the NFL in the winter of 2016, replacing Paul Hicks as the league’s vice president of communications. (Hicks is the father of Hope Hicks, Trump’s communications director.)
Clearly, he knows just what message he wants to send.

He also happens to have rented his home in Washington DC to a certain former president named Barack Obama.

A few weeks ago, Michael Bennett of the Seahawks celebrated the his sack of a white QB with a Black power salute. He said it was for all the oppressed people of the world. In college ball at least this would be an unsportsmanlike penalty and would cost the Seahawks 15 yards. In pro sports, his conduct gets the backing of management.

The outrage?

I left pro sports (and show biz) long ago, and I am one happy man.

We're only three days past the breaking point and this stuff appears. The Sunday viewing statistics will have more attention paid to them than anything since last November 8th, with the uppermost question being: is this a temporary flare-up or a serious marketing problem? If you're hearing the blast that we have been, it's serious.

In one sense this is simply another manifestation of progressive social activists completely losing touch with the working class they preen themselves as representing, and football fans are overwhelmingly working and middle class. These are fans spread out over generations, who have found their patriotism dismissed with contempt in the media, their jobs marginalized, and their culture ridiculed, by an elite who is rich, arrogant, and racist. The guy with his knee on the ground for the Anthem earns a salary that in a single year is more than an order of magnitude greater than his fan stands to earn in an entire 50-year working lifetime. (Slavery, you betcha, where do I sign up?) And the game the game that fan is watching is predominantly on TV because physical attendance is no longer attainable on a working class salary.

So he is - we are - walking. It's something of a triumph of slick marketing that it hasn't happened sooner. Some will return, many will not. And that number represents a lot of money to people who should have been paying closer attention.

I foresee my Sundays being alot more productive now. Last Sunday installed a tile and gravel walkway in the yard.
