crazy how people from opposite sides of the political spectrum are inadvertently supporting the same cause, though for different reasons

Said it before and I'll say it a million times I ain't for or against the protest but I still don't get why nikkas so concerned about who watch and who don't.
Why do grown men care? I know y'all nikkas really don't care about protest "integrity" lmao

No "obarth"Just say you ain't about that NFL-free life and keep it moving fam
Finn the gawd?
Nice avi
So I'm supposed to have you, decide if my black ass should be allowed to post here? When you're demonstrating you don't have the capacity to understand where I'm coming from. Like, the entire reason went in one ear and out the other. I expect that from a cac and a c00n or a coli lemming poster.
All of which would have say in getting me banned. Since I'm a real one, that would be the plan by those types. I've been here for 13+yrs So I know how this asylum runs. So kindly fukk up outta hurr with this alt right thread. You can't dictate from here what a nikka will do on Sundays. So the only thing you can do is witch hunt.
The focus is then no longer on the NFL, it's on each other. I see you

(This was inpsired by both posts on thecoli and real live conversations)
There is currently a group of posters (and people in general but I'm addressing the posters here) who are boycotting the NFL. Their reasoning ranges from social injustice, to health concerns, to plain and simple personal reasons.
Now while those are very valid concerns, the next logical step would be, "how do I help?" How do you help the NFL to see that openly blackballing Colin Kaepernick is unacceptable? That CTE is an enormous issue and must be addressed? That taking justice into your own hands (Peterson, Brady, Elliott) over a court of law is not okay?
Well...you hit then where they understand. In the motherfukking wallet. Right?
First off...I have to ask, WHY are you protesting? If you just hate the NFL, are concerned about CTE, are showing solidarity for Colin K, or have other personal reasons...then carry on.
If it's out of some weird sense of pro-blackness, then please, reconsider, because your efforts are misguided. You are not only potentially stifiling the income of 1000+ black families, but you're helping white supremacists achieve their goal of doing just that, as @OH SOHH TRILL pointed out beautifully the other day:
The white supremacists want to hit the black athlete's wallets and you want to hit the owner's wallet. Which do you think is more likely?
And even if you did manage to hit an owner hard he'd just sell his team for $3,000,000,000 (had to type it out so you understand) and keep it moving.
In the meantime his team cut 10 or 15 black players to save money. So who did you really hurt?
Anyway, back to attacking dem profits nahmean?
But how do we do that?
By withholding viewership?
- First off, If you don't have a Nielsen box (which I'm sure VERY VERY few black families do) not only is your view not even counted, but depending on which channel is airing the game the NFL just might get paid ANYWAY because of how the TV contracts are written. See here:
"ESPN provides the most interesting example. It generated only $285 million, including one game on ABC, for its rights to Monday Night Football and one Wild Card game. It is a far cry from the $1.9 billion yearly average ESPN pays NFL for TV rights..."
The NFL got their money and chucked the deuce to ESPN. ESPN will probably never NOT pay for the rights to Monday Night Football. (I say probably because ESPN is looking a little
lately so maybe they go under?)
These contracts are purposefully written this way to insulate the NFL's money from viewership protests. The NFL doesn't tell you that because the broadcasting companies don't want them to. They don't want you to know you can attack a channel like Fox or CBS financially by not watching football for fear of political bases doing just that.
So, still trying to hit the punk ass NFL in the wallet but we know we can't effectively do it by not watching games. What about not going to games/not buying merch?
- This IS a way to directly hit the bottom lines of NFL teams...except it only makes a difference if you were already going to games and copping merch on a regular basis.
Add to that the fact that ticket sales are a relatively low portion of the NFL's yearly revenue. The NFL sold 17.8 million tickets at an average cost of about $93, which gives us about 1.65 billion dollars. Which means if attendance got cut in HALF (which would be incredible) the league stands to lose about 830 million...which is a lot on paper, but is only 6% (!!!) of what the NFL brought in last year.
So how the hell are we supposed to hit these motherfukkers in the wallet breh???
-Short term? Sponsors, sponsors, SPONSORS. Sponsors are fickle. They care about $$ first, but their image is a close second. Disassociate yourself with anything sponsored by the NFL. Feel free to let those companies know exactly what your reasoning is. Don't buy a Ford or a Hyundai. Quit drinking gatorade and eating Lays. Kick Verizon to the curb, don't buy anything from Microsoft, and cancel your Sirius XM. When they ask why, tell them you don't support the NFL in any way. If you can get 8.9 million people (this is the same amount we hypothetically got to stop attending games earlier) to cancel their Sirius XM, trade their Fusion for an Accord, and tell the guy at Best Buy to get that Surface the hell out my face...
You cooking with grease now #boycott brehs.
Long term? Keep your kids out of football. Don't glorify it. Teach them that it turns your brain into swiss cheese.
That's all I got fellas. Enjoy your Sunday, whether it includes football or not.
FUN FACT: Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) takes in more money in 5 hours than your average NFL team does all year. In fact, Walmart operates a store in suburban Miami that generates as much revenue as the Miami Dolphins do (the Walmart location wasn’t built with taxpayer funds, either). Yet the NFL and its teams wield vastly disproportionate influence. Why?

That post got long and I wanted to seperate my reasoning and research from my anecdotes.
This is primarily aimed at the #boycottbrehs who are constantly poking at others for not doing it.
I had a co-worker yap in my ear all last night about the Cowboys shirt that I was wearing talmbout "Man you support them rich white men? They won't sign Colin so I'm not watching. Plus they all racist man!"
So I asked...okay, you're boycotting? He says "Hell yeah
"
I asked...well how are you boycotting? He says "they won't see a damn dollar or get a damn view from me!"
I asked...okay, you cancelled your sports package? Or cable? He says "Nah man I haven't even had cable for 2 years. I cut the cord"
At this point I'm like
so then they haven't gotten a dollar or a view from you for two years? What are you boycotting? He gets all
and says "Iono but still. fukk the NFL."
I pulled up the list of sponsors. Showed it to him. Asked him if he spent money with any of those companies. He hit the
"Come on man you know I gotta rep team Ford!" (he drives a newer like 2014ish F150).
And that was the end of that. If you're not willing to put real skin into this "boycott" please leave me the fukk alone and let me enjoy the sport, please?
