The NFL really does want to go out of business.
This is the way.

I’ll not be watching the phony poseurs play a game that counts for so little compared to the sacrifices made by vets. I couldn’t care less which team wins the Sewer Bowl. I refuse to enable the puerile “oppressed” thugs. *spit*

And how many conservatives will still watch this atrocity called the “super bowl”?

Ridiculous & disgusting that we’re even discussing this.

I hate all things Massachusetts. I’m a NY Yankees fan, so it’s a genetic thing. But I applaud guys like Brady for being to patriotic American that he is, soft balls or not.

It might cost more money, but I bet the local affiliates would sell advertising time, especially during the pre-game show!

Players can make racist anti-white and anti-American political statements, but no one is allowed to question them.

NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals.

Well they killed it completely with us now. The Super Bowl was the last NFL that we would watch, mainly because of the ads, not now. I hope the NFL has to refund a shitload of cash back to advertisers due to lack of viewership.

I already wasn’t watching. I wish I could figure out a way to not watch even more.

Don’t buy the advertiser’s products. Write them a letter telling them why............................

...because veterans are so biddable, timid and easily cowed by overpaid, ball tossing primates and their bloated leftist owners.

I wonder how many billions of dollars these fools will have to lose before they back down?

In the meantime, the Republicans in congress should continue to push to end any and all federal subsidies to NFL teams.

“One report on Watchdog.org said that over the past two decades, the NFL has raked in about $7 billion of taxpayer money to spend on stadium renovation and building.

“Another study from the Brookings Institution showed that federal taxpayers have subsidized the construction of 36 stadiums at a cost of over $3.2 billion since 2000.”

Local baseball and racing seasons will start before long. In the meantime, it’s healthier to get some exercise instead of watching television.

I was a young kid. I lived a mile or 2 from Yankee stadium. ‘The Mick’ was my hero. As were Ford, Yogi, Scooter, Billy Martin, Elly Howard, Moose Skiwrun. Too many to mention actually. I loved the Bill Martin era in the 70s. And the whole 96-03 or so Jeter, Pasada, Mo Rivera, etc era under Torre. After Steinbrenner died it went downhill.
