The NFL has stopped being for entertainment where viewers and advertisers pay so viewers can be entertained.

I stopped watching “pink games” a few years ago (baseball and football). I watch entertainment to forget about things like breast cancer, not to be reminded. I also stopped donating to the grocery store breast cancer campaigns because the charities interfered with my entertainment.

I got disgusted when I found out the NFL was charging the government for advertising while pretending to be patriotic in the pro-military games.

I now gave up on the NFL since they accepted anti-American actions during the game. I don’t miss it so far and am looking forward to another Sunday afternoon outside instead of glued to the TV. Drinking less beer and eating fewer chips too which is good for me :)

I wonder if beer/chip companies are noticing anything. A good pro-American marketing campaign could probably boost sales if they target those who still watch the NFL even though they are disgusted. I’d bet a lot of anti-American supports tune in for the pregame and turn it off after the game starts (or just watch the news to cheer). So pro-American ads won’t lose a lot of viewers.

The pink games thing is okay with me for one week, but an entire month of it definitely gets old.
