It’s Time for Conservatives to Boycott the NFL

The reason they feel free to do that is because of conservatives. Let me repeat that: CONSERVATIVES are why these overgrown jackasses can continue to be unpatriotic. That’s because you’re the people who are offended by their behavior, but you won’t do anything about it.

Bingo! I still see Freepers who are trying to promote their favorite NFL teams and making excuses for watching the games.

Brave men and women died while fighting under that flag. That was the ulitimate sacrifice. Yet there are those here who aren't willing to make the sacrifice of turning off the TV or canceling their NFL cable package.

We must boycott the NFL.

Professional sports is just boob bait for. Watching overpaid thugs and felons play kids’ games is disgusting. The NFL-NBA-MLB have been dead to me for years. I don't bother watching these morons or buy their endorsed merchandise.

Pick an SEC team as the rivalries are great and - except for Mizzou - are pretty conservative in nature. If new to NCAAF it's easy to gravitate to Alabama but have a look at the Univ of South Carolina Gamecocks - new coach with some promising recruits and oh yea - 80,000 people stop to say a prayer befor the game starts.

You catch them tonite on the SEC channel at 7:30 pm EST.

With your username you have to ask????
Navy at 3-0. They’re off this week,
then against Air Force.

All ball-sports suck anyway. Plus, it’s just another crooked form of gambling revenue for the mafia.

“Sports” is just the latest US cultural institution to be taken over by the communists (See: Hollywood, churches, “education”...”news”)

I absolutely love football...and yet I’ve been boycotting the NFL all season (and will continue to do so into the indefinite future).

If some of the idiot leadership isn’t careful, I’ll start boycotting college football too...which will really break my heart.

[sportutegrl]

I get as much football as I can stand as a band booster. My daughter is in the high school marching band and calls the football game before the halftime show, “the pre-show”.

[stockpirate]

Yes, come on ans follow me, I already started., no games, no news casts, no merchadise.

“The pre-show”

WHY is it okay for a black sports figure to protest the national anthem but a white sports figure on twitter gives his opinon and the white guy has to sit down, can NOT give his free expression, only the black person. Double standard.

[oldplayer]

If the MLB does something stupid . . ..

WELL, they have. The Mariners banned for a season without pay, reserve catcher Steve Clevenger for an accurate observation about the Obama, BLM and rioters.

That’s the same reason conservatives have lost the schools,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Conservatives have never had that schools.

Yet ......CONSERVATIVES DO NOTHING!!!!! ( Yes, I am shouting, jumping up and down, and pointing to the fire that will burn down our nation and the Constitution.)

—Compulsory government schooling was a progressive idea of the 1800s.

—Progressives have always controlled school curriculum and teacher training.

—Progressives controlling the government schools have always pushed the outer limits of society morals and ethics.

—Progressives have always pushed for greater and greater secularization until by the 1960s the schools were utterly godless in their worldview.

Today....Nearly every teacher in this nation from Pre-K through university graduate school was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. This is true for both private and government schools, colleges, and universities.

Yet ......CONSERVATIVES DO NOTHING!!!!!

Football players brazen enough to trash our flag and our nation's heritage? Why is anyone surprised? This is what years of government school indoctrination by Marxist trained teacher produces!

This effort by libs will come to a halt on 11/8/16.

[TWhiteBear]

Join the NFL Boycott.
The self serving, pious excuses from these WalMart looters is pathetic.
Not my money for the NFL anymore.
And the same for the bigots and thugs in Baseball.

"...ESPN is a joke..."

Yeah, but you gotta admit, Jaymee Sire is kinda nice.

[TomGuy]

That started several years ago when they (and other sports) started wearing pink for a cause.

While the initial sentiments were nice, once started then others want equal time/exposure for their causes.

On the field sports should never have started showing endorsements of any causes. Alas, PC and network narratives come into play. Now it is one ‘cause’ after another, even involving the sports commentators.

[Kaslin]

Slow down.

[Chipper]

The NFL is fully SJW converged now. The NBA is the same, along with thoroughly full of the "'Thug" culture (started back in the late 90's). The MLB, I fear, will be fully converged within the next 5 years, if not sooner.

I'd like to see this Cubs team win at least one WS before that happens. This business with Clevenger being essentially suspended for what he said, and Adam Jones having nothing happen to him tells me the MLB is definitely next.
