This is the NFL's biggest event of the year. This is the one that makes Billion's for the league. If you really want to send a message to them that we do not want to have your politics mixed with our football,this is the game to do it. Boycotting games in October and November just won't get the point across. This is THE time to do it
I have read other suggestion to just boycott the half time show. That will never get the point across. They will still bet the multi billions in revenue because you would have tuned in the game and be counted as a viewer. The more viewers, the higher the revenue. Also, the more viewers the less likely they will curtail people like Colin Kaepernick from disrespecting the country. You know Lady Gaga or any other lefty from pop culture is going to lecture us on the evils of Donald Trump. The NFL will not disinvite her nor will they try to stop her. A message has to be sent to the NFL that we are consuming your product for entertainment and relaxation purposes. We are not going to sit through a lecture and have a guilt trip imposed on us. If they won't stop it, then we just won't buy your product anymore.
Has there ever been a boycott that actually worked?
the prime purpose for boycotts is for the signalling of one’s virtue; as many of the posts on this stupid thread indicate quite nicely...
Most Patriots fans are conservatives, the Liberals love the Sox and the Celtics and tend to ignore the Patriots.
I’d rather watch mold grow on cheese than to watch Brady prance around like the prima donna he is.. as for the NFL,, maybe they could add some new rules for the blind officials to master..
And on top of the fact that it would be a legal nightmare to keep track of what everyone is watching, it would be boring as hell.
