Sunday, November 12th, I joined fellow veterans in their national boycott of the NFL. However, I do not sense that thousands tuning out the games made much of a difference. NFL players and management still display a screw-you-America attitude. America hating Leftists never back off or surrender ground.
As a matter of fact, to continue poking a finger in the eye of normal Americans, Leftist rag GQ magazine outrageously named Colin Kaepernick its Citizen of the Year. Kaepernick is the player who started NFL players shamefully kneeling during our national anthem. Sports media instantly declared Kaepernick, a mediocre quarterback, a hero. And yet, sports media is obsessed with pressuring an NFL team to hire Kaepernick.
NFL players have been fooled into believing their protest is about fairness and justice. These young men are clueless that Leftists view them as useful idiots in their long-term plan to bring down America economically, culturally, and globally.
Leftists say, "We hate this country because America is unjust; founded on racism and bigotry. America is the greatest source of evil on the planet. So screw your traditional family values. Screw traditional marriage. Screw capitalism. Screw your sacred institutions of Christian faith. Screw free speech. Screw your constitutional right to protect yourself. Screw your philosophy of education, hard work and making right choices to achieve success." We've allowed Leftists to fill our kids' heads with this negative view of their homeland for decades.
Leftists have taught our kids that because we have stolen so much of the world's resources, it is only fair that we erase our borders to allow the world to feed on the breast of America; non-Americans coming and going as they please. Screw immigration laws. Screw vetting for diseases and criminal intentions.

Nice post. What we need to see is real viewership numbers. Like you , lifelong fan , but didn’t watch any games on that weekend. Used y
To watch 2 on Sunday, mon night, and Thursday. Now only watch Cowboys when they are on. Even then recorded the boycott day game.
The media will not really publish all the stats regarding all forms of viewership, sales, etc as its going down.
Couple that with no real reporting on the mistake of allowing social justice to override the on the books protocal Re the anthem. Instead we get them not even showing the anthem to avoid the issue.
Sports is being used by BLM etc to further defile the honor due to those who gave their lives or service to allow a bunch of not much older than kids to foolishly not realize they had 8 years of the messiah to rectify their perceptions but instead he stirred them to keep the divide growing
What’s going on is fan erosion. At some point the erosion turns into a mudslide and the thing collapses. It takes time. The author is short-sighted and without patience.
Well, that makes total sense. That’s where our rights come from in the first place, according to our Founding Fathers.
And, the fact that Leftists are SO MUCH SMARTER than the rest of us, including G-d. ;) /s
no they won’t change so quickly, pain has to get unbearable before a person will change, usually. Some times it takes repeated pain.
The NFL product became stale and not worth watching.
That is the way I was starting to understand the article. Since this Borat bathing suit wearing poopski has declared that the boycott has failed, well then, we must all dutifully go back to the TV and drool endlessly. Gee this guy is smart.
Regarding NFL boycott, stay the course and time will tell. Initial boycott means nothing due to high salaries and tv revenue. Once advertising revenue drops and tv contracts are renegotiated we will see player salaries drop. Today’s college players will have less of a financial future thanks to the selfish and disrespectful actions of today’s players.
If there ever was an X-Rated Mad Magazine skit it would look just like this world the liberals have created.
It matters. The NFL simply has a few bucks to wait this out but those bucks are very draining to them. Keep boycotting their anti-white, anti-American racism. They are near their breaking point.
I started watching NFL at my father’s feet, when it was in black and white, with no instant replay, and stars like Y. A. Tittle and Johnny Unitas. I was a faithful fan until September 2016; I have not watched a game since. I recently tried looking at scores and standings and found I no longer care. The monkey is off my back. Sunday afternoons are MINE again.
Whatever.
Very well said.
I hit that point as well. Wondered where the Seahawks are in the division --- then, relaized I didn't care where they were. I watched every Sunday --- now, don't pay any attention to it at all.
Still not watching!
It doesn't matter - as long as the intelligent among us see the scam for what it is and leave it behind, more will eventually follow.
I don’t care if the NFL boycott is working or not. All I know is the sight of an NFL team disgusts me. Now they’re wearing camo and sucking up to vets. They treat us like fools.
Yes, they do hate us and blame us.
The kneelers were completely wrong — why dump on someone or another group to make the point that you have been treated unfairly. Our servicemen and women have sacrificed and even suffered in many instances. To attack them in protest is wrong! It invalidates your protest.
Reading your comment, I just thought of this idea. Steve Bannon should marshal boycotters to use the time they used to spend watching the NFL earning money to donate to campaigns to help drain the swamp or volunteer their time to the same effort.
The good teams still draw crowds the bad teams not so much.
