Would a Boycott of the NFL Work?

Is it possible to boycott the NFL and still root for your team? I think so. Perhaps that would be an easier solution for some. Instead of watching every NFL game that you can, just watch “your” team’s games. I’m sure even a modest gesture such as this would be felt by Goodell, and his goons.

Something else that I’m currently doing is boycotting all advertisers that pulled their ads from Glenn Beck’s Show, et al. Companies that will cave in to the threats of Shakedown Artists (i don’t have to name names, do i?), won’t be seeing any of my hard earned cash.

I have applied this same theory to Nike for years. If they can afford to pay MJ and Tiger 100 million dollars a year, they obviously don’t need my business. (I have NEVER bought one Nike product, ever.) B4 anyone gets on a high horse and accuses me of racism because I mentioned two black male athletes in my criticism of Nike, those are the only two that I’m aware of making over 100 mil in endorsement fees, from Nike. If Steve Nash was making 100 mil from them, I’d gladly throw him in there with them, too.

Big corporations can’t force us to support them, only the government can do that…. and they don’t like competition.
