A growing number of Americans have decided they have better things to do with their time on Super Bowl Sunday than support a professional football league that doesn't have the decency to honor the national anthem.
American Legion and VFW posts, restaurants and bars, and even a bowling alley have decided they will not broadcast the Super Bowl game in their establishments -- out of respect for veterans and law enforcement.
A giant electronic sign outside the Oneota Veterans Club in New York reads, “In honor of our country, our flag, our veterans."
The Knights of Columbus chapter in Longview, Texas decided to end a decades-old tradition of broadcasting the game -- over their "disgust" with the national anthem protests.
"The veterans are especially aggravated by the course of events. This especially hits us as an insult when people are disrespectful of our flag and national anthem," chapter member Vance Lowery told television station KLTV.
VFW posts across the country have also joined the national Super Bowl Sunday boycott.

I, no joke, just finished changing the litter boxes. Should have saved it for this evening. Oh, well. I have some recorded shows to watch.
Chalk up a win for the Left. Football was always associated with patriotism and love of country. The Left couldn’t stand that. So they infiltrated using ignorant players and incompetent owners/managers as pawns to destroy the NFL.
Because the story is fascinating and the woman playing Queen Victoria is gorgeous.
Jenna Coleman is stunning.

Pink will BUTCHER our National Anthem and add anti-Trump spew. Bank on it.
I just drove by the local ‘wings’ sports bar and their big sign was advertising a ultimate wrestling program to be televised. Today.
Absolutely! No Super Bowl this year. We’re going out shooting today instead.
I have 500 rounds of 45 Colt, ready to prime.
I was wondering about this.
I’m also wondering how the advertisers feel about this. They must be enraged.
here in L.A both are being shown at the same time..go team Fluff!!!
This Vet and cable cutter will watch the “Andromeda” marathon on COMET TV.
Remember when the Super Bowl was such a power that other networks were intimidated into airing basically nothing? How times have changed.
I am kinda surprised that some of my friends are boycotting the game this year - and they are non-political.
They ruined the Puppy Bowl for me when they started adding extraneous. Now the commercials for it are showing pigs, geese and other stuff. I'm now boycotting that too.
We are at my house. The BLM/NFL thugs can’t fail quick enough.
Many people have decided not to watch the #SuperBowl this yr because of some @NFL players taking a knee during the season. But whether you plan to watch or not, you might like to know that the @Eagles have a praying locker room—& it’s making a difference! https://t.co/eXGtC654Yj— Franklin Graham (@Franklin_Graham) February 3, 2018
I keep hearing about some Superb Owl. Honestly, I have little interest in watching anything to do with nocturnal birds of prey. Even if they are above average as the Superb Owl is acclaimed to be.
I will be binge watching early seasons of 24.
Super Bowl boycott being observed in this house.
We’re on the way to the desert now, just picking up lunch on the way. No Super Bowl in our family today.
Yup far better than giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Why?
Is UC Berkeley playing Stanford soon???
