I didn’t boycott the NFL over Rush but I would. I boycotted the NFL a decade ago because of how poor the players acted outside of football. My 2 boys have never seen a game and probably won’t while they are in the house.

Recently, I sat next to a pro coach and told him my reasons for stopping football. He said he understood but so many of the players are good people. That said, you now see how corrupt and feeble the NFL is: it isn’t the players but the management.

I am happy I didn’t turn my kids into fans. 2 less automatons for the league of the future.

I agree. After the first baseball strike, I didn’t call for a boycott. I just stopped watching. I stopped going. I stopped taking it seriously.

To this day...

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.

“Voting” with your proverbial pocket book works for me.

This is a huge issue which has enormous implications for the destruction of civility, common sense and justice.freedoms.

The NFL and sports writers have an understanding that
the thuggish behavior of these athletes fall under the radar of publicity. Rush was wrongly accused but honesty no longer prevails. Just to be accused by the left merits punishment.

I’m with you. If Rush is still a fan, so am I.

Who's boycotting? I'm finished. Like I did baseball back in the seventies when they went on strike I will NEVER watch another NFL football game as long as I live. Boycotting implies one will return when blah blah blah happens. Over 30 years since I watched a baseball game and I another 30+ years will pass or I will die before I go back. Same thing with NFL football. You think it's stupid to stop supporting those that spit in your face and trample on your most basic human rights??? you go for it but I'm smart enough to come in out of the rain. I don't need to waste my money watching a bunch of punks pumped up on steroids pretending to be men but that's just me. Of course Direct TV didn't like me canceling my NFL package yesterday. When they asked me why I was dropping that "service" I told them.

I wonder how many others will do the same. Sooner or later these residual businesses have got to wake up and realize how these racists (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc.) and unions are killing their businesses.
