NFL, now the NBA, I'll miss baseball. I played ball most of my life, until my shoulder just said no more. Loved watching games. I have great memories of my father, my grandfather and my brothers, all of us going to games or watching g on TV, listening on the radio. I still remember the game Hank Aaron tied Ruth's record and the game when he broke it. A nation was rooting for him. It will hurt to boycott baseball.

The NFL was easy. The game for me had become boring and predictable. The kneeling crap just iced the cake.

I was a huge Dallas Mavericks fan. Love going to an NBA game. The show never stops. But, no I will not support that sport either.

I find it amusing that the left is all about boycotting restaurants, or products. They are all about supporting the right to protest, but get their noses out of joint if anyone counter protests.

I boycott Rush, Hannity, CNN and other blatantly worthless news sources.

I will also continue to boycott voting for any nomination by a major party until they clean up their acts and start putting country before party.

Ok here you go. This poster thinks its wrong to boycott athletes or sports teams for expressing their political beliefs by disrespecting the flag, or anthem and our nation.

Is it their right to do it while on the clock? I don't think so, but that is a separate argument. I believe in their right to be disrespectful. I also believe in my right and anyone else's to counter-protest by boycotting them. Why is it right for them to protest, but wrong for others to counter protest?

I posted earlier that I boycotted Nabisco at Trump's suggestion.

The NFL for 3 years now. The NBA is added to the list, but I just started that recently.

That's interesting. I ignored Goya products on the shelf until the left went ape shiza because the owner of Goya said something positive about President Trump. Then I went out of my way to buy some of their products. There was little on the shelf because other Americans went out of their way to purchase Goya products.

You should reconsider Chic-Fil-A. I never bought their food until the homosexual lobby went after them. I became a regular. But then the owners of Chic-Fil-A gave in to pressure from the haters on the left, so I quit buying their product. They are now on the side of hate. Their product is good, but they lost their collective cajones.

I tried to boycott Starbucks and Proctor and Gamble. I eventually caved, damn P&G makes like half of the things at the grocery store and I enjoy the convenience of Starbucks.

I will boycott Goodyear. That will be much easier to stick with.

hollywood and big media has been pushing the interracial couple thing big time for awhile now. its not even subtle. especially white guy black woman. its very strange.
