Good comments.

Many former fans have discovered that wasting an entire Sunday watching football is not the best use of their precious time. Better to get out and experience something rewarding and healthful.

Since the kneeling began I have only watched NFL football under two circumstances:

1) I was a guest in somebody else’s home and that is what they had on.

2) I have a relative who plays in the league, and felt obligated to watch when he was in a playoff game.

I pretty much now just watch the highlights on YouTube, if I’m interested in a game. I still follow the NFL as a business, but I haven’t even watched the last few Super Bowls, which I had never missed up to that point. It’s not the same NFL I grew up with.

I used to keep RedZone on in the background to see what was going on, and then all the disrespectin’ the USA assholes started with all their bullcrap... I got tired of all the jive-assed, punky, in-their-faces attitudes, trash-talking asswipes... and even worse, the “normal” teammates standing behind them uttering gibberish about “their rights to protest whatever...” A liar by omission is still a liar. I decided the last thing I needed was to be lectured even one iota about social justice by these liberal blockheads.

To HELL with the NFL. At least NASCAR has the invocations, the FLAG ceremonies, the National Anthem, and military flyovers...and they demonstrate thier respect for the men and womem who serve our country! God Bless ‘em, everyone.

Anyway, I live for college football Saturdays... SEC football predominantly... I’m a Tide fan, and I usually get the grill going early, but I do make it a point to watch every SEC game if possible... and I do monitor other conference games throughout the afternoon and evenings. Usually, by the time we get to the Left Coast games, I’m just plumb tuckered out and too full of down-home barbecue to watch ‘em! That’s what the Sunday morning College Football Wrap-up is for.

Like many things at my age, I realized something important: I don’t need this aggravation from the NFL and their social justice ilk... PISS on the NFL! Persoanally, I’d rather go and inventory my sock and underwear drawers rather than watch them.
