Well it is a big thing to change a lifestyle. I have chosen, after being a follower since about 1964, to no longer have anything to do with the No Flag Love League.
I have been a Miami Dolphin fan since they started in 1966. I have hosted super bowl parties in my home ... but no more.
Some things which have brought this to a head:
1. I totally disagree with cities and counties using tax money to pay for billionaire’s arenas.
2, I disagree with teams that paid for stadiums having their team yanked away from them on an owner’s whim. (Houston Oilers, Baltimore Colts, LA Rams, St Louis Rams, St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, LA Raiders, SD Chargers and so on.)
3. Replay has become ridiculous ... the umps and refs can no longer be relied on for a call ... we need to review and re-review, ad nauseum.
4. We go to commercial. Then there is a kick-off. THEN, ANOTHER COMMERCIAL! Enough said.
5. Pink shoes and armbands.
6. Players who are thugs to women and others ... and are treated like they’re victims.
7. And now ... the final straw. Not honoring the flag, pledge or anthem, for some reason that they can’t even articulate (at least, beyond “because of Trump”)
So, enough is enough! And to whatever degree possible, I will avoid doing business with the major sponsors.
I doubt that I will have any real effect on a multi-billion dollar business, but I feel better having taken this stand.
One thing about the endless commercials, every instance they call time for a commercial break is that not giving both teams extra time outs on top of the time outs they get per half???
I agree with all seven of your points there. Thanks!
