The funny thing is that the Bills fans in WNY did not want Cuomo to attend the game.

Reclaim your time.

**************

Your leisure time and your health are too precious to waste spending hours on the couch watching pampered ingrates running around on a field. Spending 6 hours a week in front of the tube equates to 312 hours a year. Many sports fans waste a lot more time than that.

I spend more time on playing with my kids, hobbies, and maintenance things.

*************

Good use of leisure time. I was never a sports junkie; too many other things were far more important and enjoyable to me.

“But millions of people are boycotting the anti-American NFL.”

They did not list that as a reason. Your claim is unsubstantiated. /s

You’d be surprised how many NFL players are conservative.

The NFL has been a snooze for years. It is a boring product with interchangeable parts. Unless a fan is interested in Team X, how often did people talk about another game played based on the game itself? Viewers bet on the games, they gambled. Or, it involved Fantasy Sports. They spoke of over/under and point spreads more so than the aspects of the game. I would imagine with the C-virus, betting habits are down and with that is interest. Add to that, the kneeling, the self-righteous behavior, the TV product with the incessant politically correct garbage advertising and also a reality check in what is and isn’t important and this is the end result. Casual fans may never return.

How about that national championship game last night? All of the sudden, with three minutes to go in the game, the official scorer gave Ohio State 30 points while taking 10 points away from Alabama! This midnight vote theft thing is the genie they will never put back in the bottle -

Haven’t watched a game, NFL or college, since the whole kneeling thing started.
Don’t miss it one bit. Oh, NBA too.

Turning them into social-justice-warrior virtue-signaling extravaganzas defeats that purpose and they are no longer needed.

NBA is a BLM organzition that plays basketball ocassionally.

Same here. It has been very liberating, to say the least.

I wish I could get all of that time back.

I would have considered watching the Superbowl, just because it’s fun to have people over, and watch the game.
But, I’m working this year. So. Oh well.

If you want to watch big, fat guys slam in to each other, I suggest sumo wrestling.

>>You’d be surprised how many NFL players are conservative.<<

The answer is: “not enough.” The moment an nfl team member allows a fellow member to kneel (that is, flip off) our flag he ceases to be a conservative and is just a sell-out. No less a whore than the vice pResident.

No self-respecting conservative supports the anti-American, white-hating nfl.

None.

“The Bills game was fantastic. Bills Mafia!”

Don’t get your hopes up again. It’s futile. Get a beer ready to cry in.
