But the Steelers and Patriots were so exciting! Why! Oh why, did it have to end that way? It was a touchdown! It really was!

I'm going to boycot all future NFL football games that do not involve the Steelers, the Cowboys, the Patriots, or the Broncos! Maybe I'll watch the Saints, maybe. Actually, I'll watch the fourth quarter on a lot of those other games. But don't get sanctimonious on me. I really do support the boycott.

If you avoid advertisers whenever possible, don't attend games, and don't buy NFL merchandise at all, the bottom line is destroyed for the NFL. FWIW, if I do watch a game, it's with a TV-antenna with a TV not even hooked up to any technology.

In my mind, the issue is that the kneelers epitomize what's wrong with so many NFL players. It's not about them, it's about the consumers (fans). For the game, they have an obligation to honor what the National Anthem means to fans. The owners and coaches are too unprincipled to explain that to them.

I didn’t watch any NFL games but the YT videos clearly show he did not have control of ball when he hit the ground and also used the ground to trap the ball.
