If that coach really cared about the players that are good people he wouldn’t want to subject them to the criminals and perverts.

For you, maybe. I happen to like football quite a bit. Of course that’s always the punchline 99% of the people declaring they’re boycotting X never watched X in the first place. A lot of pointless chest thumping and ego boosting, but in the end completely meaningless. Remember Rush ain’t boycotting.

I can say that my enthusiasm has been, indeed, dampened a bit.

I can also report that I view the Colts with less favor (because of owner Jim Irsay's lying misdirection play with the facts) even though I admire Manning and some others on the team.

Just guessing, but watch for the NFL to try to pet us conservatives pretty hard, with all kinds of faux patriotism etc. (And don't buy it, at least not while Marxist Obama chum DeMaurice Smith is connected w the players' union.)

I can’t boycott what I don’t watch but I can sure call a weasel a weasel and the NFL seems to be full of them.

Every place is full of them. Welcome to capitalism. And remember the NFL didn’t kick Rush out, his PARTNERS which he knew included Soros did. You ever wonder why he knowingly entered into a deal with Soro?

I’m not advocating anything, just pointing out one consequence of this little dust-up:

If say 20% of a given team’s audience is Conservative who will cease their support (not watching Sunday TV, I mean actual revenue, as in buying season tickets, going to games, etc;) then in my crude estimation every NFL team just lost about 10% of its value. They’re worth about a $billion. Times how many teams? That’s a lot of scratch.

Every place is not full of violent felons, perverts and liars. As well as commie sympathizers. Goodell wasn’t one of Rush’s partners was he? No, he wasn’t.

There are a lot of female football fans, too, who are mad as hell.

Could Arena Football/Arena 2 be the winner in all this?

I could not believe my ears when geraldo in so many words called Rush a race baiter with Sharpton sitting in front of him....you can be a racist if you are black.

Oh give me a break... it’s stupid to boycott over this...

Who's calling for a boycott? Rush Limbaugh and Neil Braithwaite certainly havn't.

Rush fans are free to do as they please.

I’m not “boycotting” anything.

I genuinely don’t care anymore. I’d rather play touch football with the neighborhood kids. It says a lot to me that most of them don’t care about the NFL.

The NFL is a sh*t. Mindless entertainment for morons. The Michael Vick, Ray Lewis league of criminals.

It won’t be hard not watching the Chiefs this season. Maybe they need to bring back the USFL ,XFL, or Arena Football.

I hope not. I hope most people just turn off the boob tube and skip pro sports. Plus, ski season is here...

Don’t know, but I’d guess it wouldn’t have much effect.

Notre Dame should preform half time abortions at midfield while handing out more awards to Obama. Notre Dame is a scum school.
