But then they would just lay down or turn their back or do hundreds of other things to show disrespect. Good try though...

Is there still Nielson Families? I assume cable and satellite providers KNOW who’s watching what. Any network can get all the data they need from that resource.

I think today if you have cable, the cable company can determine what you are watching. So I think all cable viewers will be counted.

Politicizing football will end it for me. I tried to watch a 49ers game, but couldn’t stomach it. The game is turning into a symbol of what’s wrong with this country. College football stands to gain from the NFL’s loss, unless they go PC too.

And you wonder why NFL TV ratings during Week 1 was down 8 to 14 percent compared to Week 1 last year.

If the players keep it up, the drop could approaching 15 to 20 percent--at that point, the NFL's official corporate partners will start to grumble, and that might force Commissioner Roger Goodell to put a quick stop to these antics.

bob maeshall has lost 2 sponsors, crapper 1, you go after the individual sponsors, the big ones are to hard for a boycott to be effective against. Most HS and lower leagues have local sponsors to be boycotted.

Boycott the NFL. Don't watch the games, don't buy tickets to the games, don't buy any NFL merchandise or any of the products advertised during any game. When the money stops coming in the team owners will tell these idiots to shut their GD mouths or take a hike.

Question I’d ask them is would you tolerate being called a Spick or a WOP today. My dad was during WW2 where he fought under Gen. MacArthur, 5 major battles, including Corregidor, where he as a T/5 and a PFC volunteered under sniper fire to put OUR FLAG back up on a telegraph pole. 503RD Airborne, dad jumped with the Flag to do the job.

But blacks let other blacks call them the N word, and you can be called Cracker, but don’t dare use the N word as a white person.

Old crapper was FINED for calling team mates the N word.

The ambushed cop was a black female. She was hit eight times, but appears she will recover. Great timing by the Eagles. What a bunch of idiots.

I am saying one of the victims was a black police woman
which show it wasn’t a racial attack against white police but an attack against the police
