That’s me. I’m done with professional sports.
Still hoping they won’t take college football from me, but if I see on more Notre Dame promo touting “social justice” that may go too.
It won’t be hard not to watch the Lions.
BUMP.
I can’t go cold turkey. But I never spend a dime on their merchandise anyway. This will probably be my last season giving a care.
I happen to be a hugh RUSH fan and I don’t need the NFL anymore then I need the State Controlled News Media...
I don’t know how Rush can remain a fan after this.
Dump em all, from the genetically freakish being calling basketball stars to the thugs,gangsters and Obmamabot Players Union organizers of the NFL, and the vicious, latent homosexuals who masquerade as Sports writers vomiting up slander and knee jerk hate.What a sad testament to America, that real men have obsessed and quibbled over the meaningless lives and acts of players, while their natural rights and honor have been usurped by the dilettantes and petty dictators of Washington.
Count me among them. I’ve loved pro football all my life, and I’ve got wonderful memories of watching men like Johnny Unitas, Bob Lily, Paul Horning and YA Tittle. I remember the games on the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, where all the commercials were for shaving products, beer and cigars, and the halftime shows were some local school marching band. Then came the money, and now comes the stench of leftist politics. To hell with it all. I’ll find something else to do and be glad I won’t be around for the NFL’s first ‘gay day.’ I’m incredibly bitter about this, but I’m definitely done with it.
...is an effing pussy just like everyone else who made crap up about Rush.
Oh give me a break... it’s stupid to boycott over this...
LOL!
Because he knows not to mix his politics and entertainment. That’s why I stopped boycotting stuff, I realized that in the end I was punishing myself for the actions of others. I like football, I’m watching football.
It’s beyond sane reason that a man who heads an organization such as the NFL could state publically without any proof a lie.
The NFL, as if they could go any lower, just did.
It’ll be intersting to see the Neilsen ratings for this weekend’s NFL games. I hope no self-respecting conservative turns on any games.
geraldo is doing a nice job on him tonight and giving sharpton nice face time.
I didn’t boycott the NFL over Rush but I would. I boycotted the NFL a decade ago because of how poor the players acted outside of football. My 2 boys have never seen a game and probably won’t while they are in the house.
Recently, I sat next to a pro coach and told him my reasons for stopping football. He said he understood but so many of the players are good people. That said, you now see how corrupt and feeble the NFL is: it isn’t the players but the management.
I am happy I didn’t turn my kids into fans. 2 less automatons for the league of the future.
>>Oh give me a break... it’s stupid to boycott over this...<<
I agree. After the first baseball strike, I didn’t call for a boycott. I just stopped watching. I stopped going. I stopped taking it seriously.
To this day...
Same here. Art Rooney campaigning for Obama got me going with it, now this with Rush.
I live 40 miles south of Pittsburgh so the Steelers were a team I could root for, but I don’t much care now.
College ball has always been my favorite anyway.
Goodell and the NFL can stuff it.
>>That’s why I stopped boycotting stuff, I realized that in the end I was punishing myself for the actions of others.<<
Trust me, it’s not punishment.
So much for the drive-by state-run NLFL (National Liberal Football League).
