Already did.
Started as soon as I realized the league or team would do nothing. I am surprised at how many people think it’s ok to have their values or family members insulted.
Too late to worry about it fools. Already finished with the NFL. Never again.
If Kaepernick doesn’t like America, then why is he playing American football, instead of soccer?
My Sundays are now free! I’ll catch up watching the highlights on my local news network (ESPN also lost me).
The NFL was a great escape from political activism...that we have to live with every other day of the week.
I used to watch the NFL to escape the leftist crap...now they’ve effectively infected “the league”. Spoiled millionaires and leftist memes...too much for me.
Yup, my goal is to not watch a down this year. So far so good!
Every play is literally a series of car wrecks, resulting in penalty flags & injuries throughout every game. Overpaid, steroid-pumped knotheads. Not worth watching.
Done — well, I was done years ago. I swore off professional sports in the 90’s when the baseball players went on strike at the same time my buddies were getting laid off left and right from our company. Overpaid spoiled men playing children’s sports.
Already off
Jason Whitlock is one of the most interesting, engaging talking heads in sports media. I often disagree with him, but I consider him one of the most informative, and informed, people in media today.
Wish I hadn't quit thugball 32 years ago so I could join the current 44%
Must be interesting if it could be established how many NFL viewers quit watching in the last 30 years, allowing for net population increase.
"See, Kaepernick didn't accomplish a damn thing by sitting his ass down during the national anthem."
1. The NBA has a specific rule requiring players to stand during the National Anthem.
2. NBA players are very image-conscious. I think the likes of LeBron James--who has spent a large fraction of the money he's earned as a player and from very large endorsement contracts to help the downtrodden in the Akron and Cleveland areas--may not want to be associated with taking an excessively polarizing stand--he has too much to lose financially and PR-wise.
I would love to see the stadiums empty.
Many of these players are idiots, which is why I barely watch anymore, but seriously...who cares? This is a major distraction. There are plenty of people who stand for the national anthem who hate the Constitution, liberty, freedom, Christianity etc.
The factories which produce this kind of behavior, and other far more serious pathologies, aka the government school system aka socialist indoctrination centers continue doing what they do. How many parents will consider removing their child(ren) from that system in favor of homeschooling or private schooling, at the expense of the big house, 3rd car etc, in response to these events?
Watch?Listen/Read the news, it will happen.
I think you are underestimating the American People, many are disgusted with this Left wing garbage!
I don't see how, if the owners and management failed to stop him or cancelled the "one-drop" nutjob's contract.
Sign me up if “gutless goodell” can’t reinforce patriotism in the NFL!
