I found it surprisingly easy to quit watching. And the longer I went without watching, the less interest I had in ever watching again. Count me among the many lifelong NFL fans who will never watch it again.
Same here. Pro football started changing years before these protests. It became more like a circus rather than a sport. It started with the scantily clad cheerleaders, then women sideline announcers, all the various causes (like wearing pink in October - ugh!), the silly end zone dances, the players’ complete lack of sportsmanship (beating their chests, running to the nearest camera) standing over some guy they just tackled as if they had conquered him, etc.), and now this useless protest that is an insult to law enforcement people everywhere.
These jackasses are so dumb, they don’t even care to find out the truth about these issues. They also have no clue as to what exactly they expect to accomplish by all this, or is this now a perpetual protest show?
Trump called their bluff on prison reform by asking NFL players for a list of prisoners they thing should be pardoned. The players responded with mealy-mouthed generalizations about reform in general. They couldn’t present a single name of anyone they thought had been wrongfully convicted of a crime.
