National boycott of the NFL for Sunday November 11th, Veterans Day Weekend. Boycott all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums. Pass this post along to all your friends and family. Honor our military, some of whom come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.

Really? Do you have a source for that? How about attendance?

Who's playing?

So, to be clear, people boycotting can watch college football, but not professionals?

Is it ok to watch soccer? They call it football in Europe, but the fans seem more interested in watching the games than the player's politics. This boycotting gets so complicated.

I don't even know what channel I am supposed to not watch.

Republican agenda 2016 - present: boycott black people protesting for civil rights, turnout to vote for white people trying to strip away civil rights.

Post up a lot of pictures of those empty stadiums for us, will you ? I would, but I will be too busy watching all the games.


Where do you guys come up with this stuff ?

If games/sporting events are held on major Christian holidays, then Veterans Day and Veterans are no more important than Jesus Christ (God).

This is very silly and I don’t support wars and no need for more veterans

You mean those who gave their lives fighting to protect the basic rights of Americans which like it or not include the right to protest should they choose, those veterans?
