Thankfully I'm not one of those offended and throwing fit threatening to boycott watching Football. I still will watch forever unless the Giants move away.

Hey, we're boycotting hissy fits. We just got fed up with big rich boys crying the blues over their oppression by taking a knee.

BTW, (hey, can't help but learn final scores lol), are you sure you want to keep watching the Giants. Aren't you a New Yorker? Because the Giants moved away a while ago. As an ex-Jerseyian, I've been bugged they're still called the NY Giants, when they're the NJ Giants. (Panties aren't in a twist over that, but I have state pride in that one anyway. lol)

In the proper spirit of New Yorkers and Philadelphians needing to talk smack when it comes to our teams playing against each other -- Ha! Take that!

As an Eagles fan who hasn't ever seen my team win the Super Bowl... oooo! That had to hurt. Kinda, (just not enough to stop smirking) sorry about that. But I do know your pain! It's my pain half the time our two teams meet.

And in all fairness, it's really hard to not watch football. Harder still since I quit after "my guys" (the commentators on FOX's Pregame Show -- Howie, Michael, Terry, Jimmy, and Kurt) boohooed the leftist propaganda for two minutes before I turned it off. It's almost like not reading my devotional before reading the Bible each day.

Antifa's boycott? Yeah, really. I think they boycott football like they went scurrying off to help Houston and Florida after the hurricanes -- if even, just in their dreams. Not enough of them to mean anything to the wallets of the NFL.

I really do hope enough normal Americans boycott to give a wake up call to the NFL.

Target decided to go transgender on their bathrooms exactly in the amount of time to notice they lost 10% of their income. Then the bathrooms went back to his and hers.

Starbuck's CEO told the people who voted for Trump to stay away from their stores. We did, and he was fired within a month.

MSM told us Hillary won up until 11 PM on election night, and then they couldn't anymore.

There used to be enough normal Americans to trust that 80% of us were at least reasonable. (And liberalism is reasonable. Anarchy is not.) We're now quite a bit down from that number, but there are still enough of us to hold sway off the absolutely ridiculous. Big rich football players complaining about their oppression falls under "absolutely ridiculous." Telling people that the President of the United States should shut up so rich football players can whine about their oppression is even more ridiculous.

It's time to stop the toddlers from having temper tantrums while we watch. Since the toddlers aren't listening (the ones taking a knee), and the parents aren't listening (the coaches), how about the ones paying the revenue for that temper tantrum (fans) making it clear to the ones holding the money to pay them (advertisers and owners)?

Jerry Jones made it clear that his players will get fired for playing that game. How about it? The players heard him loud and clear! (Granted, your team and my team will still wipe his team, but... ya know? lol)

Not a football fan either and can't understand how grown ups can be so thrilled with playing games with leather balls., football., baseball or basketball...... but respect the fact that Americans enjoy such things. What I don't respect is an American player disrespecting our flag and the men and woman who gave their lives so we can have a country like this to live in. I'm a proud American and appreciate my country and all we have here and thank God for it.

Totally agree with President Trump and Judge Jeannie., fire them and let them find another country where they can support them selves in the style to which they are accustomed.

But seriously though. Amen to that! :)

I'm sure that statement went over well with the liberal media. :rolleyes:

Which is weird since there's lots of sports in the Bible.
Hunting, wrestling, track, just to name a few.
The Apostle Paul was into boxing and golf:
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course.......”

Huh Paul was into Golf I don't think golf was invented yet, the earliest known account of it was in 960AD China, and I don't think they were being payed to do it.

the name golf was actually a sign posted at a lot of golf courses in its early days.

It was a type of acronym that stood for this saying (Gentleman Only Ladies Forbidden)

I find it funny, Kap supporters are boycotting because they support him and his haters are boycotting because they are offended over people protesting the Anthem. NFL can't win.. Both sides say "there are more important things and you have to take a stand" and if you are neutral you side with whatever side they disagree with. Screw that I just want to watch some Football.

No I don't side with the oppressors or do I believing in disrespecting the anthem, but I love sports. Does that make me a bad person?

I would guess that would depend upon your perspectives. Evidently God and Country means less that a Ball Game.

I enjoy watching sports, but God and Country mean more to me than a ball game. ;)

I actually like sports, but I don't watch them because I don't like athletes (at least american ones). I know there are a few decent ones out there like Tim Tebow, but for the most part they are conceited immature egomaniacs. There was (maybe still is?) a radio segment called "The Athlete Arrest of the Day" and literally everyday they had a new story about a pro athlete getting arrested for something. That was several years ago, before there was fake news, and you could look up the story to see if it was real...

Anyway, I was on my high school football team and I used to be a big fan but I stopped watching in the 90's because that's when I realized the mentality of these athletes. Its a mystery how they even graduated college when they can't even put a correct sentence together, just like LeBron James did today when he said people must have voted for Trump because they "was" uneducated. -_-

This has been happening for years. Only reason it blew into something more was because of the media. The anthem was never played on tv except for the Super Bowl. Also, there was a time period in which teams weren't even on the field for it. But, just like anything else, the media is stringing along both the right and the left along their little strings. We're all just puppets to them. Both parties are falling into their trap.

So watching Football makes me anti American? You have no ground to judge me. You know nothing about me. Let me ask you, why should I move? Give me one reason other than "he chose to watch Football"
