"It sounds like our boycott is working. I'm hoping our side can hold out longer than they can."

Don't hold your breath. Conservatives are almost always ineffective at boycotting. It's like herding cats.

Watch the NFL thread Sundays here on this forum....some fans can't even give up a lousy couple games this season to pitch into the effort to keep the polls and PR in our favor during this important month.

When liberals boycott, man...they mean business.

I wonder what folks think when they read the weekly seemingly-approving NFL thread here on the "Premier Conservative News Forum in the Country" ???

Well, to each his own, I guess.

I haven’t seen that thread for a while ... I was hoping it was banned

Conservatives lack hate and unity...things of which the left have no shortage.

I don’t have a lot of faith that it will last. Of course, I live in packer country where football is church and Rogers is a god. Blech! I see so many GB Slacker shirts, I just shake my head.

When living near Seattle, I never missed a Seahawk’s game. That includes their superbowl win and the stupidest 3rd down call ever on yard line in the following year, when they missed winning the superbowl by literally 1 yard.

Now living near Jacksonville, I am boycotting the Jaguars, which were so bad last year, but have won a lot of games this year. Kaeprenick did not bother me that much last year, since he was only one oddball. But the entire team of millionaires (on our dime) dis-respecting the flag and anthem is impossible to overlook.

My boycott against NFL stands solid.

I have fojund it to be the opposite. Conservatives rarely boycott so when we do it usually works. And it is working as viewership in the NFL is down quite a bit.

We got whoopie kicked out as Slim Fast (iirc) spokesperson and some other victories.

In the meantime I don’t think you can point to a single successful liberal boycott.

But yes it is hard to get people to stay on the line.
