I'll try not to watch my Vikings. Hopefully I can work on my house or go golfing on my Sundays now.

Sad to see my favorite undrafted.local boy Adam Theilen, a decent Christian and hard worker, get caught up in a league pushing communism (anti-Christiantiy), but this is what the NFL has decided to roll with, much like all of America at this point.

I guess that must make sense to you, what ever the heck you said...

If we stop watching in large numbers we can hurt the NFL. We can thin the wallets of the owners and the organization. Only then can the leadership of the NFL be changed and policy changes. Only through abandoning NFL football can we force them to drop the politics and social justice crap. Stop watching, cancel any cable channel that has been purchased to watch the NFL, don’t buy NFL merchandise and certainly don’t attend a game. Let the Woke support their organization. Let’s teach the NFL who has been buttering their bread.

It’s football......drop the communism.

In this thread is just a sampling of how upset fans are right now without a single game yet played. What this doesn't even take into account is that players have been pushing to boycott a game in protest of Jacob Blake. I can only imagine the damage that will cause if they actually go through with something like that

I'm with you. I absolutely do want to hurt them for forcing their trash upon me.

What would that look like? A fake storefront wheeled out so a bunch of guys can loot it and run away in unison?

Two thoughts to add here.

First, why do we keep seeing the word "communism" used to describe the sickness that has been allowed to ravage our world of sports? What we're seeing is racism - purely and simply. Anti-white racism. It has nothing to do with "communism" and to use that word is to confuse and divert focus.

Second, the silliness of key players like Drew Brees thinking that by apologizing for their initial gut feelings and acting to embrace BLM, they're going with the flow, is boundless. And I don't mean to single out Drew Brees....he's just the first example that comes to mind because his story got more publicity. And by key players, I don't mean just on-field players. I mean owners, head coaches, and all others with prominent roles in sports.

My strong suspicion is that 90% of these guys share our disgust with allowing this racist plague to spread unabated, but feel that they're trapped in roles where they must "support" what idiots like Goodell tell them to "support". They think they're being good team players....think they're gliding down the highway when, in fact, they're slip-sliding away. Because the fans are the flow....we are the flow.

Thoroughly misguided as he is, Kaepernick could teach them a thing or two about courage. And that right there is pathetic.

I wonder if team unity will be splintered. Will we see more personal fouls?

Did Drew apologize realizing he could be in a dangerous place with unspoken 'bounties' placed on his head?

I love it like the French passionately singing the Marseilles a song about defending your selves from invading murderers and rapists
They proudly stand defenseless and let it happen

It's a complicated onion to peel away my friend. The BLM initiative is part of an "intersectional" coalition from academia, which is fundamentally Marxist / Communist. Marxism is a worldview that human suffering is only a result of oppression and that oppressed victims must fight oppressors by any means necessary. So they go out looking for people to call themselves victims and use them to attack the power structures so they can take power for themselves.

That is the root of things, but at the BLM-NFL level of course you are right. This Critical Race Theory nonsense is racist by any normal person's definition and that is how most people see it. Two wrongs don't make a right, and any discrimination is immoral discrimination even if the target is Jewish or white
