Perhaps you are one of the football fans who boycotted the NFL this season either because of player protests during the national anthem or because Colin Kaepernick, who started the movement, was never added to a roster.
Perhaps you even stuck with your protest and didn’t just claim you were done with the NFL only to quickly return to watching a dozen hours every Sunday from the Barcalounger in the corner.
If you are one of those dedicated protestors who are still holding out, Sunday is your greatest challenge.

Time for USAA to dump the NFL.
Don’t watch it. They will get the message more from people dumping the SB than from just about anything.
It won’t t be on in my house for the first time since it began.
I think they miss the point. It’s not a boycott. They are boycotting any show of appreciation and it defines them.
I will be at a relative’s place and they will have the game on but I no longer care. They don’t interest me anymore than an episode of American Greed.
A boycott implies my distaste could end if they pretend to be nice. It won’t and they aren’t.
Bank on it.
If you’re not a Nielson family it doesn’t count.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are my favorite CFL Team.
No problem at all. I’ve made a habit of not watching. Why change that now?
We’re going to a movie.

It is easier to sing for people who are melodically challenged - like me.
"Official" NFL live streams (Yahoo/Verizon, Twitter, etc.) are counted in ratings...use one from some person taking a video of their TV screen and streaming it. (Any YouTube streams might get shut down mid-stream due to the NFL copyright police tho....use an "alternate" stream provider).
The real pain for the NFL will come when the major TV networks renew their contracts in the 2020-21 timeframe...hundreds of millions in "discounts" to be had due to lower ratings.
See you at the range. No watchee.
Haven’t watch all year why start now
I’m changing the air in my car tires Sunday and can’t watch.
Be sure the new air is fresh and yes, organic.
BC Lions. Because of Doug Flutie.
I skipped round 1 of this match up in 2005. Will skip this one as well.
Finished means not ever again.
They have lost me as a fan. Without the emotional connection to a team or sport, it will die, it is only a matter of time.
The players and the owners severed the curtain so we can see the “crazy corrupt wizard” and made it impossible to see it as transcendent any longer.
It is a business, the players are hired guns who lie to become wealthy, and move on without a tear shed. Why should we care? Answer is, we should not.
Not this year.
