#BOYCOTTNFL TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN!

[Easy-E]

Have fun doing exactly what they want you to.

I'm out for good. The sport is pointless for many reasons. It being created by racist is just one.

Have a good time though.

I'm surprised at your response.

My thing is; I'm not seeing much accomplished--will, what I personally expected to be accomplished.

It did get me to understand economics better and what black people really need.

I'd rather see this energy go towards reparations.

I'm reclaiming my time and joining like minds to fight to end slavery.

We have to be the change. I'm not waiting for anyone to tell me how or when to fight.

Not waiting for any savior. That person is me.

my thing is this

Shouldn’t Sunday be a much more productive day for black people? Why sit in front of the couch for 8 hours every Sunday making old white conservative men more rich when you could be spending that time reading books (something whites used to not want us to do, might I add) and enriching your mind. Or you could hit the gym and enrich your body or you could go outside and do something with your family. They want blacks to have broken minds, broken bodies and broken families. Sunday’s should be a day to strengthen our minds, bodies and families.

The Peter Pan syndrome in our community needs to go though.

My point is our problems are grand enough to demand our week.

I do not...I repeat...I do not miss watching football. I'm not exhausted. There were Sundays that I didn't even think about it.

Okay, that's out of the way--fukk the NFL, fukk football.

In those "free" Sundays, I've gotta more information. I've had to fight against my own people and people who think they my people.

I've gain new perspective on politics and economics.

I'm used my time wisely, for the most part. But, you're bringing up a bunch of individual activities and that's my issue. Peter Pan?!?!

I've just come learn this is endemic of a larger issue that dwarf this leagues issue.

Check my post history. I'm not confused.

For those of us that are still refraining

The NFL's season-long ratings crunch has carried into the playoffs, as the absence of a number of marquee franchises have made for some tough year-to-year comparisons in the Nielsen numbers.

According to the final live-plus-same-day data, the weekend's four divisional round broadcasts averaged 30.2 million viewers and a 16.9 household rating, and while those are elite results by general TV standards, they were far off the mark from last season's analogous games.

Overall viewership for the four games fell 16 percent versus the year-ago average of 36 million viewers, and household ratings slipped 13 percent from a 19.5.

Sunday's games were particularly enthralling: In a show of offensive firepower on both sides, spoiler Jacksonville hung on to beat Pittsburgh 45-42, while Minnesota stole a win from New Orleans on a 61-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left on the clock. But the popularity of postseason no-shows Dallas, Green Bay, Seattle and the New York Giants all but guaranteed that the ratings would take a hit.

For example, Fox on Sunday posted the playoff's biggest deliveries to date, averaging 35.6 million viewers and a 19.3 household rating with its coverage of the Saints-Vikings pulse-pounder. And while those out-sized stats make it near-certain that the game will stand as one of the top five most-watched broadcasts of 2018, they marked a precipitous drop compared to Fox's record-smashing Packers-Cowboys showdown of Jan. 15, 2017. Featuring the two top-rated NFC teams in a game Green Bay put away in the final minute of regulation, the Cowboys' 34-31 defeat averaged a staggering 48.5 million viewers and a 26.1 household rating. It became the year's No. 2 most-watched, highest-rated broadcast, behind only Fox's presentation of Super Bowl LI.

Through the opening two weekends of playoff action, the networks are averaging 27.8 million viewers, down 16 percent compared to the 33.2 million viewers who tuned in for the wild card and divisional rounds a year ago. Household ratings for the first eight postseason games were down 14 percent to a 15.8.

The drop in the playoff audience comes on the heels of a regular season that saw deliveries in all regional and national NFL TV windows fall 9 percent to 14.9 million viewers, while household ratings were down 8 percent to an 8.6.

Among the most visible advertisers who bought time in the first two rounds of the playoffs were Verizon, Bud Light, Geico, Amazon Echo, Nationwide, Ford, DirecTV, Progressive, Southwest and Honda. Studio buys included teasers for Twentieth Century Fox's "The Post," Lionsgate's "The Commuter," Marvel's "Black Panther" and Warner Bros.' "12 Strong," "The 5:17 to Paris" and "Paddington 2."

The NFL playoffs continue Sunday at 3:05 p.m. ET on CBS, when the Jaguars and Patriots play for the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Jacksonville is the only team to advance to the championship round that wasn't featured in a national TV window during the regular season.

The road to Minneapolis continues later the same evening on Fox, which hosts the NFC Championship Game featuring the Vikings and Eagles. Should Minnesota advance, they will become the first NFL team to play in a Super Bowl on their own home turf.

If Fox is to improve upon its year-ago NFC Championship draw, it will have to top the 46.3 million viewers and 25.0 houshold rating it notched in the early window with the Falcons' 44-21 blowout of the Packers. The numbers to beat for CBS: 48 million viewers and a 24.4 household rating.

[dora_da_destroyer]

what about next year

We'll see...my interest in football has been waning the past 3 years due to a variety of things I don't like about the NFL and I've been supremely more productive on sundays, I don't see myself going back to sitting in front of the tv for hours for football. I might keep up with football news next season but don't think I'll go back to consuming it the way I did pre-2016

This thread will be up all year I expect more to join.

Never watching again. People need to understand the NFL is racist and fake.

If you can't see it you simply don't want to. Easier to live in ignorance I suppose.
