To everyone: I'm not a genuine fan but do go and cheer on the KC Chiefs as our family has owned season tickets since they came to town.

Though I most often don't watch their away games on tv, I'm still rooting for them.

The conclusion I came to after lots of my badmouthing the pampered, ingrates who've pouted and preened in front of cameras is, I'm not giving the Marxist/left another victory!

I gave them the Boy Scouts; I gave them the entertainment industry and I even gave them my Presbyterian church but I'm drawing a line in the sand here.

I'll write, fax, hand deliver letters, petitions and carry signs out at the Chiefs executive offices, I'll stand with 78,000 others and loudly boo Marcus Peters, til he gets so mad, he quits rather than take the humiliation of his home football fans who want him gone.

Ill take my time to write letters to sports websites, call into the sports talk radio but I'll not let a mere one, useful idiot force me to no longer watch and cheer on my home team!

You all are free to do and say and certainly feel you've been stabbed in the back but you are playing into the very hands that hate football in the first place, the American hating Communist Left!

Take a good look around you, what is the same as it used to be, what did you used to enjoy or even love that has been destroyed beyond recognition?

I'm NOT giving up nor giving in - I was of the opinion that's what "we" fought so hard for when "we" elected Donald Trump!

NOPE, I'm not about to give in to someone that wants or even demands I give away much of what my life is and has been all about, so they can finish off America for good. What's left - apple pie?

Good for you. I just don’t want to glorify a bunch of classless and unpatriotic behavior. These aren’t the role models our young people need.

I want the players to be reminded that they have to answer to someone or they might take a pay cut.

My boycott continues.

As long as they get your cash, they could care less about your protest letters and phone calls.

Your ass on the seat and your eyeballs on the boob tube is what they care about.

You see, the left has already taken control of the NFL, so what you’re doing now is supporting a leftist organization, regardless of your rationalizations.

You make some excellent points, particularly not handing the leftists another victory. If I had season tickets to the Giants, I’d probably do the same as you intend to. The only flaw in pursuing that course of action is the structure of the NFL itself. The thirty-two owners are apparently deaf to what is happening around them and when they finally do wake up, it will be too late to re-establish control over their off course enterprise. It truly is a shame...

I hear you as a long time Chiefs fan. I absolutely hate the fact that the left has now taken over the NFL and using it to politicize and advance their agenda. I have spent some time to email the NFL, the Chiefs, and their sponsors to stop the politicization of the NFL. I also told them I will push my congress critters to take away their anti-trust status since they decided to politicize the NFL.

The buck stops with the NFL owners to enforce their own rules on this or I’m prepared to move on. When I watch pro football I want to see pro football, not some a-holes using that time to try to make a political statement and using a very inappropriate time to do so. What’s worse is these political statements these players think they are making are based on lies. It’s asinine what these owners are allowing and how it’s damaging their brand.

I have not tuned in to the NFL since the previous Sunday, including the Chiefs games. With these digital boxes these days, they know exactly who is watching what and I don’t even want to give them that satisfaction. Even though the Chiefs are 4-0, what’s so sad about this whole situation is the realization the left has taken over the NFL and they end up ruining everything they touch.

I do hope taking our fight to the sponsors and such, works, that is the thing to do if we don’t want to see the NFL destroyed. I don’t, but I realize how we have such a corrupt leftist culture and I’m prepared to move on if I have to. I did it with Major League Baseball and I can do it again if need be. Maybe another pro football league will rise in its place.
