Who is still on NFL football strike?

I would almost bet not anyone.....they�ve gave in to all bad officiating, national anthem differences, holdout controversy, etc, etc.....you know, this divisional round weekend is by far my favorite. Still 4 games with the best 8 out of 32 teams playing. I like it even better than the conf championships or Soooopa. I�m staying with my pick for the final matchup, Cowboys-Colts. Am I totally off base? Maybe with my final picks but you gotta believe. I�d like to know who is still holding out in watching the funnest pro football weekend of the year.....be honest!

never quit, my pick was Steelers and Sanits, so i'm not looking so good since the Pittsburg Drama Queens fell out. Yes I said Drama Queens!

YES..... TOTALLY OFF BASE.

Except for highlights pretty much stopped watching when Dandy Don quit playing.

Have not watched since the kneelers. Don't miss it.

Never stopped. Wild Card and Divisional rounds are the best two weekends in the NFL season. There's no way I'm not watching.

Count me in. I no longer watch about NFL games.

I will never watch another game of football.

I quit completely for a while. Now, I watch about 10% as much as I did before all the protest shenanigans started. I found so many other things I would rather do than watch pro football on Sunday, I just haven�t come back.

Been 3 seasons now that I haven't watched a game. Don't feel like I've missed a thing.

I haven�t watched since the Oilers left town, and I�m not gonna watch any until the Oilers come back.

I watch Cowboy games but really don�t care about other games on Sunday afternoons. Sunday night and Monday night games catch my attention some because it�s the only decent thing on TV.

It was incredible all the drama they had this season. It just never ended. That�s an organization that just seems like it�s always done a good job of handling stuff in house and then this year it was full of more drama than I can remember. Kind of shocking.

I had not watched any games since the Steelers stayed in the tunnel for the anthem (minus 1 guy) at Soldiers field a couple years ago. It rubbed me the wrong way as kneeling did. I tuned in a little to keep an eye on my Bears this year.

I am a grown up non snowflake. I watch.

I watch, occasionally.

Never quit but not that big of a fan during the regular season. That said I love the playoff football and other sports as well when they turn up the intensity with so much on the line. Same with hockey I don't watch any during the season but watch a lot of playoff hockey which is normally great. Baseball I will only watch Rangers but watch quite a bit of post season games. Basketball...well I am pretty much out full time on any basketball.

I�m weak, I gave up on my protestwhen the Cowboys started looking good again.

I don�t watch, it just doesn�t interest me anymore

I tend to strike more when the Cowboys suck. I will not listen to or support any activism in sports whatsoever.
I no longer admire professional athletes in any sport. I do NOT want my children to consider them role models. I want my children to find role models in their own lives, rather than how people portray themselves in media.

Never was a died hard NFLer, takes too long on the weekend to watch a game. Refs play too big a part of the outcome.

I never stopped watching. If I boycotted every little thing I disagreed with then I would never be able to buy anything, watch TV or enjoy many things.

Since the networks stopped showing the National Anthem...the kneelers can't disrespect the flag. I credit Donald Trump for that!

I�ll admit, the only team I care to watch is Kansas City. That is only because Patrick Mahomes is the most electrifying player I have seen. He is very talented. I hope he gets league MVP.

watched my first nfl game the other day and then only 1 game. Have been keeping track of college games OU, OSU, Texas and LSU.

There you go trying to insert common sense and logic.
How do you sleep at night?

I haven't watch a single NFL game in over 2 years and haven't missed the spoiled brats so I'm not going back. If I want to watch politics I'll turn on CNN. Just have to wait for NCAA football to start back up in August.

Haven�t watched in over 2 years. Have no plans to.

I listen to Sirius game broadcasts and sync the tv with my iPhone.
Mostly because I prefer Brad and Babe for the Cowboys games.
But I agree tv broadcasting has wrongly infused broadcasts with things that aren't a necessary or even interesting addition, to their detriment I might add.

I turn my attention to bull riding when baseball season is over.

This could also be counted as an �olds� thread

The old saying " throwing the baby out with the bath water comes to mind "

How sensitive does a person have to be to let a couple of bad actors ruin
a whole industry.

Pick any activity or industry , I will show you idiots ,

If you stop watching , the kneelers have won.

Note , Kaepernick is not playing in the NFL.

have a good day folks

MO

Too much logic in this thread.
I must've ventured into a parallel universe.

This is where I'm at. Seen a couple cowboys games later on this year. Used to watch every game on Thursday/Sunday/Monday. Dak kinda sucks. Cooper is awesome. Zeke is Zeke. Garrett still isn't ever going to win a super bowl.

As for the rest of the NFL, whatever. I only watched a few cowboys games because my wife really wanted to see them. I have no use for people who disrespect the national anthem for a fake issue.

I only watch Cowboys because Jerry said kneel and you lose your job.

Honest question - where do you draw the line? If openly and repeatedly disrespecting our national anthem for an issue (that stats says doesn't exist) isn't over the line, then what is? Is there a cause they could support or an activity they could undertake that would make you stop watching?

I suppose at some level it depends on how important what you're giving up is. To me, the NFL product has gone so far downhill that it wasn't a huge sacrifice to find other things to do. But if you really love it, then I can see how some political issues would seem trivial.

Was that before or after he and every member of the Cowboys knelt?

When they kneel I squat

I guess from my own point of view I do not expect everyone and everything to have to agree with my opinions. I have never really been bothered or felt threatened by differing views. I am focused enough and committed to my own views that others do not have the ability to affect or change my views unless I allow that. I like hearing the other side and I like learning. Does not mean I will agree with them just means I have no issues with others expressing their opinions even if it goes against what I believe.

I put it in perspective and keep it realistic, the NFL is a reflection of society. It is not out there trying to tear down the US. They are not anti American and they are gonna kill the country in any way. Again I keep it in perspective. Its a game, its entertainment, I enjoy watching it since it was a sport I enjoyed playing and I have no issues saying I watch and support it.

As far as my own protesting there are companies I simply choose to not do business with or support. Usually customer service related more than anything else.

I'd mess up your bet... Except, I have been on strike since the players went on strike back in the 80's. I don't miss anything about the sport in any fashion. For me it is just a waste of time.

They were probably kneeling and praying for a win.

Same.

I haven't watched any NFL football for the past two seasons.

The main reason is because of the kneeling thing, but I had only seen a small number of games for the 2-3 years previous to the start of that issue. I just got tired of the "look at me" attitude of so many of the players. It's stupid to make a tackle, jump up and beat your chest, when your team is getting their azz kicked. If it's your job to tackle, then tackle. If it's your job to block, then block. If it's your job to catch the ball, then catch it. Etc, etc, etc.

As for the kneeling thing - I agree it's your right to kneel in protest, just do it in a different time and place. Don't disrespect the flag and/or the National Anthem.

Hey look.... it�s Capt. Sellout

I think this guy is... whoever he is.

That weekend of kneeling was more about Trump telling 32 billionaires and over a thousand millionaires what they were going to do. Players that hadn't kneeled before that day, knelt because of Trump's comments.

Don't get me going on anthem kneelers and IHOP!

...!

I didn't boycott, but their product has really stunk the last couple years. I've not watched a complete NFL game in the past two seasons. I get bored with it pretty fast.

Pretty much me. Came back three weeks ago to watch the boys make a run for the playoffs. Stayed with them and only them for the past three weeks, haven't missed all the other games.

Never quit watching college.

Ain't that the truth? Or something some talking head told me to boycott.

I turn the games on 10 minutes after kick off time. If I don't see it happen then it didn't.

same here, but it's been about 4 years for me

You'll be back once/if ever the Redskins are good again.

Jeruh just bought a new boat.. cost more than what he paid for the Pokes. Seems he is doing well.

That�s a long nap

I never left. Still prefer ncaa but love the nfl too

I got the NFL Sunday ticket for free from directv and did watch some of a few of their games, but didn't watch one from start to finish.

Interesting take - thanks for the reply.

Only response I have is to say that I don't believe in any way that I'm going to change the NFL's mind (except that they have paid attention to the protests and the number of protestors have dwindled), and I certainly don't believe everyone has to agree with me, but I have a moral issue with supporting companies that I do believe are sponsoring anti-American viewpoints or actively disrespecting our country or its anthem. That being said, I don't think the vast majority of protestors necessarily agree with Kaep on his extreme pro-Castro, anti-American stuff - they just want police to stop killing black people. While I understand the sentiment, numbers show that a white person stopped by a police officer is more likely to be shot than a minority. So the issue is just another example of people literally believing something that isn't true and disrespecting our anthem because of it...which just kinda sucks.

never quit watching
or wagering

it is the best production in The World
&
the main economic force in America

The first Amendment is the first Amendment. Play ball.

Too addicted to the curse of oak island to watch anything else.

I didn�t even realize the Clemson and Bama game was the other night I just that tuned out since opening the store.

Having said that Mike Tomlin�s treatment of the lineman that chose to stand ended my interest in most Pro sports.

Butch, you up or down?

Me - no mo watchie

I like football too much. I prefer college over NFL any day though

right now
$65 up

I never stopped watching, and I liked the NFL this year mainly because of all the drama which I thought made it interesting.
Just when everyone was giving up on the Cowboys they got on that roll right on into the playoffs, and even won their first playoff game.
Just think of all the teams that are sitting at home watching right now, wishing it was them in the playoffs.
Win or lose, I think it's been a worthwhile season, but that's just me!

Have been since Tom Landry was fired!

Agree with JustWingem. I stopped pulling for the Cowboys since the a-hole crapped on one of my heroes, Tom Landry.

Still watch the NFL, but much, much more of a college football fan.

Landry was done
He should have retired

That was 30 years and 3 Super Bowl wins ago. Some people will take it to their graves I guess.

Or 23 years and 0 Super Bowls ago!!

It could be 30 years and 30 Super Bowl wins ago and some folks still wouldn't let it go. Somebody tell these people we're friends with Japan now too.
