You can even boycott them indirectly to have an impact.

Just today, I was in a tire store getting my car repaired. And what did I see? I saw a big promotion advertising that Bridgestone is the official tire of the NFL.

Well, the next time I need to buy tires, Bridgestone is off the list. Easily done.

“BOYCOTT THE NFL; NBA; HOCKEY; AND ALL OTHER SPORTS...don’t buy their products, don’t watch on T.V. and don’t waste the gas and oil and money to attend their sports then lets see how long it is going to take to have them crawling on their hands and knees back to us...”

Sorry, but I love hockey and to me it’s the only sport where no one is talking about race, religion or ethnicity. Players are from all over the world and if you ever been to a game you would know it’s family friendly. And the fighting is still cleaner than the crap they show on television.

I think the answer is to revive The American Football League and let’s see what the team owners think about the alienation of the vast majority of patriotic football fans...

And Subjects and Serfs take a knee in submission to their masters, while free citizens whose government submits to them proudly stand with hand over heart.

Their side during the eight year nightmare was MUCH worse than that. Obama weaponized the IRS, let Clinton commit treason and massive crimes via her fraudulent foundation, unmasked one person every business day, turned the Intelligence Community loose on Trump, crammed blatantly unconstitutional Obamacare down our throats, and had virulent racists as AG at DOJ. He was hellbent on destroying the USA.

That created all this division which is now spilling over to everyday life, sports, TV, etc.

CW II is coming!

[Wildbill22]

They are all talk. Those spoiled brat millionaire players will not walk away from their paychecks if the rules allowing such protests were changed, or a new football league replaced a defunct NFL...

[chiller]

Despite being an NFL fan in a city where no players have protested, I hope the NFL pays dearly should their protests continue to grow. Owners should have stopped it on day 1, but didn't, so sleep in it I'd love to see a team protest tomorrow, followed by fans departing en mass and the resultant financial collapse.

This is the power we have.

Note U of Missouri which is crumbling because administration wouldn't stand up for what is right. They placated the protestors at the cost of admissions, donations, and attendance at their cash cow football program. Other colleges as well.

Protesting NFL players are free to think and do whatever they want, but we will not endorse their public protests on an NFL stage. How ironic that wildly successful stories touch all minorities, including politics, TV, movies, music etc....all hugely compensated positions. If it's not good enough then try another country, just don't expect a similar success anywhere else.

Bump!

[MtnClimber]

DemocRATs reaching out to USA haters.

[dila813]

There are few lib fans, they think the sport is too violent.

[ClearBlueSky]

Well,well...now we'll see what is more important to the millions addicted to football won't we? If they fill stadiums then they are supporting disrespect for this country. The line has been drawn BY their football gods. I somehow doubt the stadiums will be empty. I think the overreaching, pathological addiction to football will rule. Oh, they'll find ways to excuse and qualify their attendance but if they attend then the cost of their tickets is more important than standing against all this and they'll be taking the slap in the face willingly. One side or the other, no more one hand waving the flag while the other pays people who crap on all for which it stands .

Personally, I detest football BECAUSE it has become more important than anything to too many, and there is no escaping it. This will be fun to watch from a political standpoint. Love football enough to let those who play it trash your country and get paid to do it by you? Football is demanding you choose respect for your country or it.How sick is that?

[GOPJ]

Take every opportunity to put them in their place where they rarely are...

Democrats are headed for the dust bin of history. They're putting themselves in that spot - we don't need to assist with digging the hole they're digging for themselves.

We can watch.

We can speak truth to their lies - and liars. That's enough...

[Cheerio]

BRING IT ALL YOU MILLIONAIRE CRY BABIES. WATCH THE NFL CRASH AND BURN!!!!! TALK ABOUT SUICIDE.

“Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities,” Goodell said.

The players indeed represent a force for good. They jump to a beat down if them ho get moufy wit it. They show young male fans how to treat a woman who ain’t know wats good fo she ho ass! If yo ho get jiggy wit it and yo ain’t dig it, grab she hair and drag her ho ass into the nearest elevator and punch her bitch face til it bleed! She ain’t do nuffin about it no how she know wat good fo her.

[Finalapproach29er]

Roger Goodell is a fraud. Remember all the tributes to the military
*******
His dad was an anti-Vietnam war Senator who lost his seat in 1970...

[BobL]

Of course if the players do this crap, the BEST RESPONSE would be the fans getting out of their seats and simply leaving the stadiums.

It would be just great if the owners get to see a totally packed house, just to see it virtually cleared by kickoff time.

“We have great doctors and scientists, but not great athletes.”

Yea, they covered that in the movie “Airplane”.

Just go ahead you guys and "make the usual bet."

Didn't have to; people much smarter than I did the research:

“genetics aren’t a problem.”

Cultural values are. Lousy political policies and implementation are. Sin is.

Genetics are not.

You're wrong, and provably so, but we'll just agree to disagree. Do some reading on the subject, though.
