View Poll Results: Pigskin and Politics. How much NFL are you watching?
More now. I love how the players kneel and sit down to protest injustices in the land 2 3.39%
About the same. The players have every right to protest. Lets just get on with the football 10 16.95%
Less. The game is starting to decline anyways. Nothing to do with the political posturing. 15 25.42%
Less. I do not like the league stance on player protests, the games no longer interest me as a result 32 54.24%
Voters: 59. You may not vote on this poll

I can not watch less, because there is nothing less than not ever!

We get it, you don't watch football. How many times are you going to chime in on a thread that doesn't pertain to you?

In fact, I think I will chime in two or three times a day, just to annoy you, now that you have shown it DOES annoy you.
Hey, folks, I do not watch football on tv!

It helps to record it and start watching 30 minutes in or so. Just zip through the commercials.

Less but NOT because of politics. I just work about half the weekends of the season and the weekends I am home, I am busy with something else unless the Broncos are on (I don't get Colts games and the Cardinals suck and their season is garbage time now.)

Not at all. I am simply an old (75) curmudgeon whose love of sports was removed by bullying PE teachers and jocks many years ago. I do, however, enjoy annoying people. It is even better when it is long distance, leaving them with little they can do about it except make childish insults.
I have lived with such insults from bullies for so many years that I am pretty much immune to them now.
Several aphorism relate:
"It takes one to know one!"
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!"
"Every time you point at me, there are three fingers pointing back at you!"
"The pot calling the kettle black!"
and many others. "Childish sayings"? Of course! There are times when only grade school things are appropos.

No, actually, I don't. I guess that shows how little I care about it.
If it is one of those "Real Men..." things, allow me to say this:
REAL men served their country for 30+ years, including active duty,Drilling Reserve, and Fleet Reserve.
REAL men went to Vietnam with the 25th Infantry Division.
REAL men retired from the Seabees as a PO1.
REAL men know that jocks put their pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else.
REAL men know that football is a game of offense, defense, and strategy. HMMMM... Sounds just like warfare, doesn't it....
I still don't watch football, whether collegiate or Pro.
