Did anyone else notice how few peeps were in the stands on Thursday's forty-whatevers game-like-activity?
This football-interested-person (definitely no longer a "fan") watched part of it, and it looked as well-attended as a preseason game.
Not only are we former fans offended by the NFL's lack of taking a pro-American stand, we don't like being lied to about why we are watching fewer (in many cases none) games, and why we are going out of our way to avoid NFL sponsors and merchandise.

One could also say that for us former NFL fans, anti-Americanism and ingratitude matter.
