    It can not be a reverse boycott unless the NFL is boycotting fans.  Pretty sure they are not.  The commercials breaks are perfect, allows me to toke...yeah this is dumb.

    I’m down!!! Wait...what channel is football on, lol?  I have never been much of a football fanatic.  I played it when I was in school, but was always more of a baseball person.  I would watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, but they suck now too...I guess I’ll just watch the puppy bowl and go on with life from now on!

    I think the great majority of people that claim they will boycott a sport or business based on political mambo jumbo probably were never a huge fan of that sport or business. 

    I boycott Starbucks because I don’t like the way they don’t use the terms medium and large for ordering coffee or it could be because I don’t drink coffee.

    The owners blackballed a player because he peacefully protests?

    Thats not the kind of business I want to support

    don't give AF what Breitbart thinks

    It's not about what Breitbart thinks, it's about the real polling that takes place.  Do what you want, but my point is that if the left and the right hate the NFL for the opposite reason, well who knows how the NFL reads that poll.  Maybe they squash all protests.  They sure as hell won't reduce the commercial interruptions.

    You know what's funny, is I actually hate Starbucks for those precise reasons.. I hate the words and the coffee is over roasted.  I only go there in times of trouble.

    I need Agholor to have a game tonight. I'm thin at WR2.

    I had him in DFS and in one of my ppr line-ups.

    33 yards with 8 receptions (his completed pass wasn't for a TD or 20+ yards that was squatoosh).

    Okay game I guess? As for the game itself... I allowed my wife to talk me into watching Big Brother that was pvr'd. I came back to it in the fourth quarter where it did get better (it came down to the last play).

    Sloppy though. Foles' longest pass attempt was for 18 yards. Zzzzz.

    The game was bad...  I mean it got a little exciting in the 4th quarter.  Thank God for college.  I'm always entertained when the Buckeyes lay 77 on someone.

    I just think the league is dying in general.  The injuries and CTE will be the death of it.  Fewer and fewer parents are allowing their kids to play.  The best athletes are going in different directions.  I think baseball will have a resurgence, soccer will grow and basketball will be king.

    Whenever I go to Starbucks I order saying small, medium, large. Most times they correct me and will say venti or whatever. Always makes me laugh.

    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.
    on YOUR face
