IF the NFL won’t stop players from kneeling then they ought to just punt on the issue by not playing the national anthem before games. I don’t need to hear the national anthem before every game to be patriotic anyway.

Don’t care if they kneel or not anymore.

Yep, I don't care if they kneel or not. I don't care if they stay in the locker room or not. I don't care if they put political slogans in the end zone or not.

I will not watch.

The NFL has become the Dick's Sporting Goods store to me. No way. No how. Done.

I am seriously PRAYING that Americans stick to not giving ANY sports the time of day AND that it really hurts them!! WE can only hit them in the pocketbook WE are the ones with the money, businesses, and jobs the others are the jobless criminal fraction of the nation!! WE have to be DONE with these spoiled rotten rich brats!! WE gave them everything they have today and WE can take it away!!!

The word will get out.

No longer enthusiastic about my team after more than 30 years. Am still interested enough to see how they or at least their key players behave. If they fail I'm done.

I live in football country. The bars will be full on Sunday and they will all be watching the packers. It is an addiction and they just won’t quit. I won’t be watching but never did much, anyway.

The big untold story the local media refuses to tell is the lack of interest in pro sports.

Local “journalists” have hyped the SJW bull crap and now the futility of their propaganda is being seen. The pathetic thing is the media won’t be honest.

I still see sports press trying to pretend the politicization never happened.

I used to love watching the Patriots at my neighbor’s home. A real get away from everything else. Then Kap came along. I kept watching, thinking he was an anomaly. He didn’t get signed again, but the kneeling spread out over numerous teams. I stopped watching. This was two seasons ago.

At this point, I would like an apology from the NFL, and a ban on kneeling during the anthem or I just will not watch. As unlikely as it is that the NFL would get back to being football vs. social engineering, that’s what it would take for me.

A united front, especially something like an 86% drop off would shake the league to the core. Serious discussions would start about having to drop player pay, and that would end this crap.

Unfortunately, even here on FR, we’re not a united front. How could we expect the millions of less informed folks in our country to stop watching when we can’t even agree. Not watching is a principled stand, in my opinion. I certainly hope, after all that has been burned and looted, our FR friends will think twice about feeding the beast.

The poll is BS but there are a lot of people who aren’t going to watch anymore. I stopped watching about 5 years ago as they had ruined the game by then, referees get more air time that the players now.

The NBA was such a bore 20 years ago I stopped watching. Throw to the big guy and let him get fouled. Snore....

Bum! Bum!

That is the sound of the number of times the ball touches the ground in the modern NBA.

Won’t be watching, period.

The NFL is already playing a so-called “black national anthem”, painting end zones to white-shame the US, and letting idiots where jerseys with jackass thug names on them.

That’s MORE than enough to offend me, never mind “kneeling” (which is lame, actually).

Wait for it, just 10 seconds in....LOL

Ah, one of those ever-scientific Twitter polls.

Besides, these racist cowards intend to just stay in the locker room for the anthem so we’ll never see those Kneegros genuflecting unless they allow cameras in there.

If the ratings for tonight’s BLM Bowl are anything greater than zero, it’s a bad sign.
