Each to their own...enjoy. By the way, IMHO your entire post is virtue signaling.
Good for you. I think the beautiful thing about our country is the freedom of personal choice. Group think in anyway turns me off. I personally chose to not watch. But I applaud we as citizens are free each to do as we will. Let us not forget this no matter are politics and beliefs. Group think sucks!!
As mentioned I definitely won't be watching any NFL games. But I really appreciate the opportunity in this day and age to agree to disagree. What a concept so rarely practiced anymore. Like that we can uphold this beautiful and powerful American tradition. Enjoy the season!

Virtue signaling is often described as a conspicuous display of moral values, or some such. That's what the protesting players have done, and furthermore, the league has tacitly added its collective voice to that conspicuous display by choosing not to stifle it. Fine, their decision has been made - and all such decisions come with hazards and costs.
For the average person who finds this offensive, clicking over to some other TV channel is *not* a conspicuous act. Neither is choosing to use money for something other than season tickets. Both are simply examples of recognizing that one's interests are better served elsewhere, and moving on accordingly.
Enjoy the game... while it lasts.
