Ill watch the Falcons here and there but kinda tired of the protest stuff. I have been surprised how many people I know that have said they will not watch it

No.

Why would I boycott? I don't care if these guys want to try to make some social statement. It doesn't influence my thoughts at all. I like to watch football so I stay locked in on Sundays.

I've been losing interest in the NFL for a few years now. Not "boycotting", though.

That's what I was doing. I had some games on while we cleaned the house and prepared for the week

I've never had the interest in the NFL like I do for college football. I'll put it on because it's good white noise and I'm not watching the goddamn Hallmark/NatGeo channel

Nope. Don't give a shite about these players and their hurt feelings. Don't give a shite about all these outraged white people and their hurt feelings.

Just quit losing to the fricking bills and phins.

No. I love NFL football. Other than the entitled sideshow stuff, it's amazing how good those guys are.

I watched a regular season game on TV for the first time in years because of the protests.

For whatever reason, the Falcons can't win those 1:00 CBS games against shitty AFC teams. San Diego and Kansas City were the same thing last year (although KC was good)

Nope.

And seeing how I’m still seeing packed stadiums (including MBS) and after hearing tons of people bitch about the loss I doubt many people are actually following through.

Exactly. Everyone is so damn sensitive nowadays. I think Trump is the biggest "liberal" around, in the sense that he's a giant baby about any comments against him. We literally had a debate about his hand size and he got bent out of shape.

I agree though, it's midseason and right now losses and wins are kinda meh. Everyone's hyped at the beginning of the season and the end of the season (if your team is good).

I turn on the games on EVERY treadmill at my gym. Wish someone would cry like a bitch.

Damn near 35+ tvs. It's quite entertaining.

Not boycotting, but I think interest overall has been waning for a couple years. The style of play and caliber of the average player isn't what it was just 8 or so years ago. Crappy OL and QB play, insane amount of flags, and offensive styles that aren't conducive to creating superstars (which hurts fantasy football as well) are all contributing to the NFL's problems. Protests are just the cherry on top of an already growing sundae.
