Considering a reverse boycott of the NFL

The NFL owners don't like employees expressing themselves peacefully? Don't embrace the values  of the 1st Amendment? Free speech? Peaceful protest?

Meanwhile, they use their political clout to suck up local tax dollars to build billion dollar stadiums and sip champagne in the luxury box?

Boycotts can work both ways

    I would take it all in since this is the first and last time they will ever win a Super Bowl.

    I was puzzled by this as well. 

    People need to do what they feel is the right thing to do.

    on its face it suggests support.

    Yeah I am pretty sure he just means that he is boycotting the NFL in response to the NFL's (and the advertisers') stance on things but the way stated is kinda funny.
    I think I may steal this and try to use it in situations where it may be comical/confusing. 

    I am going to reverse drink this beer.

    I quit watching football before the protest stuff.  It is so boring and all the commercials make it like 4 hours.  I much prefer hockey and baseball.  Hockey has more action and I really enjoy attending Cubs games whenever I can when traveling.

    I buy a cheap ticket to a baseball game and just consider it a cover charge to a bar.  We have a blast.  Heck I’m MSP I have been given tickets outside the stadium by strangers.  Those were the sweetest beers.  But in Milwaukee they have Spotted Cow for sale and it is THE best ale in the US.

    Baseball is so much better attending games I will agree.  I live across from Detroit, have not been to a game in years.  Maybe I'll go to a game.  I've always wanted to see the Yanks and Red Sox and Dodgers...I'm not sure if the Dodgers ever appear on the schedule for the Tigers.  Sounds like you have a blast, thats great.  Enjoy.

    No it isn't

    Did you enjoy the 12 minutes of actual game action last night, or prefer the 90 minutes of advertisements?

    Owners want players to shut up and stay in the locker room, no problem, my money can stay in my pocket. 

    People like to talk shit and not back it up. Screw the old rich white owners. 

    Not to mention the CTE issue, and their prior disgusting approach to domestic violence.

    They dont deserve the viewership or the money, so I say fuck em. At least until the playoffs lol

    Well now  you're criticizing the rules, game flow, etc.  That's different.  The way your post read (to me), is that because of the protests, I'm going to counter-protest and stop watching.  Where ironically, that will just lower the NFL "approval rate" (which Breitbart touts) and makes it seem like more people are anti-Kap than they are.
