Breh I never seen anything like it in real life.dudes on this forum are fukking weirdos when it comes to football. IDK how or why but a lot of these nikkas treat nfl football as the frontlines of the civil rights movement instead of what it is....a game.
Clownery hit it's apex for me when nikkas framed the superbowl as "black america's team vs white america's team" for three straight yearsshyt was beyond corny. Thats when I knew this wasn't the board for good football talk
The boycott shyt at this point is just attn whoring.
Where I grew up people watched both Basketball AND Football and would emulate Barry Sanders, Deon Sanders, Mike Vick, Jerry Rice over the years.
This board trips me out with its anti football (NFL) talk.....even before the Kaep shyt.

Okay I will take you at your word on this...
I suspect that a player strike would turn this site into a mini-st0rmfr0nt.....
yea I think these kats are amusing no lie.....Again they value the sports over the social implications but get annoyed or defensive when people point it out
which is weird......these are mostly strangers on this website..If the NFL is that important to them just say fukk Kap and keep it moving...

"1 dimensional thinking"
I already know why you mad, you're the one who made the thread bragging about the boycott accomplishments of trump supporters
You can mince words with your reasoning all you want, in the end you're advancing a boycott they started with racist intentions a year ago. #MAGA #BOYCOTTNFL #SHUTITDOWN
BONUS:
^^^^^ CTFU
You do realize this does nothing but amplify the importance of black folk Boycotting as a counter measure right?
If we just sit back and let whitey only boycott, the kneeling stops, the status quo continues and they win...
If black folk are also boycotting the league can't just pass measures to stop the kneeling to appease whitey...
The league has to find a way to appease the majority, if the majority is split we'll get the dialogue and action we want...
You not black Stay in your lane we don't need cacs in here to discuss this.

This website was Anti football even BEFORE the Kaep shyt.
On some Marvel vs DC or X-Box VS Playstation shyt.
Using the whole Kaep situation on some pro Black shyt to further your agendas is some corny shyt

So the NFL is gonna interpret the difference between white and black protests?
Even though the black protests are a smaller less vocal group doing it over the same medium and under the same hashtag as the white protests from a year earlier. Um.....
Seems a lot more likely that they'll interpret further viewership declines on the original cause of the decline.
But hey, we can dream right? fukk talking about this shyt, footbawl is on

So if it's cte you say carry on. If it's because of inequality you have a book on why we shouldn't?(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 littlelately 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...
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?

Look Tobias Kyle Hasslehoff, the NFL is paid regardless. This protest isn't about money. Your quick judgement aftermath is the owners will still be paid while the players suffer.
But that is a white supremacist lie
How does us protesting affect their money, the owners not gonna pay the players if nobody watches? Again, they already got paid upfront (the NFL) So your logic is as false as acting like people would protest The NFL if Kappernick was on a team. Who boycotted last year because of it? Who's doing it this year because of Marshawn Lynch
The worst thing a black man in this position could do is take "suggestions" from WHITE America on this. Because the leaders of that conglomerates motives are sinister, they voted for trump after all

Football is what made me and my dad close so it's kind of weird not watching it with him
