A National total boycott of the NFL is planned for Sunday, November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend (Page 2): How sad that these demonstrations while facing our flag means so little to you...

How sad that these demonstrations while facing our flag means so little to you . How sad that after given every head of the line
privilege that could possibly be given while receiving public support that these low life's use this venue to protest . Evidently
neither they or you understand what our flag fully represents . I have spent my life honoring our flag . Not because I am some
goggled eyed far right nutter . Because I honor the sacrifices made to preserve the meanings of our constitution which that
flag they show contempt for represents . WARTS AND ALL .

When you are done studying our history revisit world history and do some comparisons . Maybe then you will understand .
We have a ways to go . As all of mankind has but not at the behest of these poorly educated , over half of which have police
records , louts . Screw them and the sport that supports them .

As a veteran I don't feel these football players are disrespecting me as a matter of fact I support them and their right to peacefully protest. At least they're not running over folks with their automobiles or shooting up churches.

It is November 12 and how is your boycott going? Are the NFL stands empty. Read our Constitution before you try to decide which of us are patriots and which are blo- hards.

What's up with the patriots/blo hards comment? How bout YOU read the Constitution?
They have the right to protest whatever they want just as we have the right not to support them. It's not complicated.

Its going well. Have you been to the Stadiums? Half empty instead of full. Of course, your fake news wont show the EMPTY stands.

We know all about the Constitution, and Freedom of Speech. Just like you demand the right to SPIT on our flag, country and soldiers, we have the right to bankrupt you for being anti American communistic trash. These things take time, but half the stadiums empty already is a good start.

I am confused. News isn't showing the empty stands, so I am guessing the way you know they are empty is because you are there. Meaning you are not boycotting the NFL.

Help me understand!

I Love my Steelers, have not watched them and refuse to until all this SH&T is over. I have waited all year for NFL and this is what I get. That's okay, still watching SEC and the Tide Roll'n. Linda Joy, does your bar have a pool table ? Better yet a Snooker Table ? If so, I would love to come and hang out with you'all. I would give everything I win to your cause, because the winning is just the fun.

Now Sarge I’m a an avid Billard shooter.. Which is exactly why I go.. I should have said Billiard Hall but it is also a bar...just getting back into tourney lay and loven..

Gets Cold here in Colorado and the fire place along with some excellent fun tourneys always make it nice..

Just happened to hit a perfectly aligned masse rolling right in place , then taking 4 down .. woohoo was loven it! Alas I lost the next shot tho banked off the second diamond with too much English.. a dang simple shot no less!!

All good it is!!!

You’re more than welcome to visit for some good play, everyone so nice..

The news you watch , like 95% of all news outlets , are financed by many of the same corporate
giants that fuel the NFL. Think about it . I'll guarantee you that those giants will soft peddle as much as they
can for now . That's why you will not see the stands as they are or were this past week end . As the cone heads
of yore once said , " Must consume mas quantities "!

ML - It's OK, perhaps even good, to be skeptical these days no matter the source of the reporting.
But what you are expressing is doubt, without sharing any data to support said doubt.
Let's be objective and look at real numbers. The overall numbers were actually up year-over-year at last week's games:

However, the numbers don’t indicate that any boycotts, if indeed they happened, had a meaningful numerical effect. In fact, total attendance at the eight early games on Sunday, as reported by the NFL, was up about 1 percent over season averages. Here’s the breakdown, with averages prior to Sunday’s games.

• Buffalo: Average 68,944; Sunday: 67,501
• Chicago: Average 61,779; Sunday: 61,285
• Jacksonville: Average 59,553; Sunday: 67,164
• Detroit: Average 63,367; Sunday: 64,646
• Indy: Average 63,801; Sunday: 66,146
• Tennessee: Average 67,356; Sunday: 67,432
• Tampa: Average 60,894; Sunday: 57,911
• Washington: Average: 77,451; Sunday: 74,476

How did your Sunday NFL boycott work out? How are we going to keep those players from exercising their First Amendment Rights if we cant punish them for using them? I honor our military and I am a combat vet and I don't see any disrespect, I only see some Americans expressing their concern abour what they perceive to be police mistreatment of Afro Americans. I enjoyed the Sunday games.

I don't think you have been appointed to decide how and where your fellow Americans exercise their constitutional rights. That is what we veterans have faught in so many wars to portect.

I know you are replying to Straight Shooter, Arch.
But just to cover my rear I want to point out that I myself did not say folks should or should not boycott the NFL games. It is of course your right to do so.
I just do not see it as any kind of moral high ground, and I do not think it will achieve anything good.

With all due respect here, I have to disagree. I know that my first amendment rights do not apply in my work place, and theirs shouldn't either. See, playing football, and providing entertainment for their fans is their JOB. If they want to protest, that's all well, and good, but they should do it off the field. My beef isn't so much with the players as it is with their EMPLOYERS who allow them to politicize what should be entertainment.
Myself, and most everyone I know is tired of EVERYTHING being politicized now days.
I mean, now even my damn coffee maker is a political tool for crying out loud! Does it ever end?

I think I answered this one in my reply to Straight Shooter, Paul.
And is me boycotting them going to accomplish anything? Pfffffft, no! I've never been a huge fan anyway. The only money I've ever spent on them was taking my wife to a Cowboys game years ago. And I did that for her. I hated it myself for my own quirky reasons.

Yes but you are boycotting the entire NFL when only a few people protested. What you're doing is just being vindictive and there is a difference between patriotism and vindictiveness in case you didn't know...
