I thought Freepers in general were boycotting the NFL, for showing the world it is unpatriotic as well as greedy. Who forgave the league, when did it happen, and why?
A lot of Freepers resist engaging in emotional groupthink. There has never been a consensus to boycott the NFL.
Never.
There are a number of vocal Freepers who go into every thread about football, declare they don’t watch football, and encourage others to stop watching it as well. They seem to care about something they state they don’t care about.
Thing is, nearly all NFL players show respect for the flag, and a minuscule minority don’t. That’s it.
True conservatives would recognize that it is an individual choice to watch or not watch, and can act as their conscience directs.
Whiners in general might be boycotting the league. But probably most of them were never actually watching the NFL anyway so they really aren’t boycotting, they just want people to be impressed by them not watching.
