I defended the NFL until it became clear the NFL was fully into the woke BS, and fully supported the kneelers. I had watched NFL for nearly fifty years, and I simply don’t watch anymore.

They have made it clear to me they don’t want my patronage.

If others watch it, I don’t condemn them...that is their business and we all make choices. I watch occasionally with my best friend, but only as a way to keep in touch with him.

I simply don’t care who wins or loses and won’t patronize them with purchases of any goods or services.

That’s like worrying too much about people’s political stances when one sees a good, conservative movie...or doesn’t because of the actor or actors in it.

I watch the football game. As long as during the game, really good athletes are playing the game I love, i’m good.

I wont go to the stadiums and give them that kind of money.

But I will be watching the playoffs

Yeah pretty much me too except my best friend died some years ago now and that pretty much coincided with the woke so I don’t even have that. The NFL is also just part of almost all spectator sports for me. I care for none of them anymore.

Ditto here.

The concussion awareness started my change. I haven’t watched any games in over 8 years. I keep up by reading to have something to talk about in group settings, but the amount I read is declining.

The NFL doesn’t care about your (or my) demographic. They only court the 18 to 49 age group.
