Can we boycott the NFL already?

What about the tax dollars that pay for the land and many times the buildings for the stadiums and then the attendees to the game still have to pay outrageous prices for tickets? All so that they can make money off it. I could care less about the jackwagons on the field, it's the owners, and the rest of the corrupt jackholes that make all the money and have their capital investments made by the tax payers, with little to no return for the actual investors.

If they footed the bill 100% for the facilities, and then reaped the rewards, fine, but they don't.

And to top it all off, the NFL is a tax exempt organization.

crony capitalism is a problem?

Not for professional sports fans who love the idea of public $ going to fund stadiums.

We are just like you! Now pay for my entertainment because FU thats why, i like football/baseball/whatever

Never watched them, not going to start either.

Wait a minute... are you saying that grown men get paid money to play games? When did that happen?

NFL - Three and a half hours to watch 11 minutes of action.

God Bless Bob Irsay!

It always bothers me when people on here cry about getting lumped in with guys like Holmes and the Newton punk who I forgot his name...and then they go and lump every single NFL player together with a couple of bad people who have made national news.

Problem is most of them are so called bad guys.You are not going to change my mind. The league itself has promoted the Obama agenda from day one. The league halted the purchase of the St.Louis Rams to Rush Limbaugh in 2009 because of his so called views. The NFL was all set to air Obama care commercials/propaganda all thorough its telecasts with the start of the season. Thankfully backlash stopped that. The anti gun commercials are just one of many reasons I wont drink the National Felon League koolaid. They can take thier.message and stick it up Peytons Arse.

It's real funny to see Bloomberg talking "common sense reform" , but he talks banning >16oz sodas.
To left wing nutjobs, anything they fart out of their mouth is common sense.

I'm in!

At worst, they're Communists.

At best, they're the circus that distracts the populace from what the Communists are doing.

Football and baseball are a part of American culture. People who don't enjoy them are either communists or gay. Not that I have a problem with either. To each their own.

I have a good comparison for the original post. I have these hippy neighbors who don't agree with the politics associated with the big oil industry so they occasionally boycott them by not driving their vehicles for weeks at a time. Does it mean there is something fundamentally wrong with the oil industry? Maybe. Maybe not. Who cares. Has their boycotting had any impact at all on the industry? No.

haha, so great.

I disagree with the NFL's policies for sure. And I do believe that our nation is becoming one that embraces the term panem et circenses. While this is true, there are those that remain vigilant to protect our freedoms and continue to do their best to give back to this country that they love. NFL should not have tax exempt status by any means. But hey, how much time am I actually wasting by watching 16 3- hour games for a total of 48 hours a year?
