re: What Boycotting the NFL Actually Looks Like

So no tailgating, going to bars, watching highlights, going to sports websites, going to games, watching other teams, Monday night football, buying a hat or something, no fantasy related sports and no talking about it?
Y'all idiots boycotting football, baseball, aunt Jemima, the Quaker oats dude, Nike, rofl
But hey, I guess you got Goya and the MyPillow guy

All of the above. Had a nice Sunday with family and friends.

This will be my third season of not doing all 21.

And?
The part some of you guys aren't grasping is that, at least for me, I don't feel as though I'm giving up anything. Sports have fundamentally changed, so my being uninterested in what's going on now is not some loss for me. The only loss I feel is one that's better described as nostalgia for what they used to be.
The way some of you guys describe the possibility of giving up watching sports is the way I'd assume heroin addicts would describe giving up smack.

So what part triggered you so much that you felt compelled to make a useless comment?

Pretty much. Most people I know are spending far less money and time on the NFL than they used to -- even if they are still watching watching their team on TV.

There seems to be an effort to suggest that those people who have walked away from all this have given something valuable up, or will be missing out. That's what I assumed you meant by the list you presented.
Just wanted to state again that for many, myself included, it's not a loss. I'm not yearning to turn the TV on and watch any of it. They've fundamentally changed what drew me to them, so there's nothing left for me to want to watch.
That's all.

Seems like a lot of sensitive people read the OP and think that's what it's suggesting as well.
It's the opposite -- the premise is that the NFL relies on you to not only watch your TEAM, but every other prime-time game and participate in every way imaginable. This is how the industry margins were built.
I think the real effect of boycotting will be felt by FANS simply participating way less -- not necessarily giving up on their teams.

To really hurt the NFL the advertisers/sponsors during the game need to be boycotted also.
I have not done any of the items listed in the OP posts.
