These people are dumber than I ever could’ve believed.

Who is going to pay their bloated salaries when millions more do what many of us here have done? Namely, stop watching.

The Kap is an active thug, but not an active NFL player.

I have loved watching the Seahawks and I think Russell Wilson is a really good guy. But I’m not watching this year.

What is wrong with these people? Too many tackles?

Haven’t watched an NFL game since the Redskins used up all of their collective Mojo and won The Super Bowl decades ago....

Why should I tempt fate, betray my ethics and watch now?

That’s right up there with Hillary doubling down and now demanding “a stronger form of liberal media” to combat Breitbart and FOX News.
