We haven't watched an NFL game for the past two seasons. We don't miss it at all. Fact is, it freed up a huge amount of time that we now use for family activity. Eye-opening change in how we live.

Just got tired of all the drama, bad officiating, injection of politics into what was supposed to be "entertainment", etc. Worst part of it was getting out of FF. But we don't miss it a bit, and it's doubtful we'll ever go back to watching again.

We still watch UT and UGA games. For now. But if they end up going down the same road the NFL did, I can see us freeing up our Saturdays as well. We watch football for entertainment, not to be told what to think, or do.

That's the only thing the keeps me connected. You think I care who wins or loses a game?

Last year, I was begging that Kap would get an opportunity to play so I could possibly scoop him up in free agency. Last year's crop of quarterbacks were the worst collection of talent I've seen in my life... and the league allowed that disaster to happen to its product over nonsense.

"As much as I hate to admit this, perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized," he added.

Not so much that. Its just that some people just don''t care enough about what goes on before a game to be protesting or boycotting one way or the other. He cares way to much over a trivial issue and ended up loosing his career, which is not so different than Kap, unfortunately.

Why do Democrats praise personal conviction for only certain things? I mean this owner followed his conviction the same as Kap, and yet you mock. Why?

Who among Dems has praised acting on personal conviction when the end is not just or good? We don't admire brave and committed Nazis or brave or committed Confederates (or at least I don't).

Kaepernick was protesting police brutality; this guy in CO was protesting a company that agreed with/supported someone who was protesting police brutality. There's a wee difference there, no?

Because it was dumb as f***.

May be, but doesn't this owner have the same right to "stand for something even if it costs everything"? Many think what Kap did was dumb. Not because of police brutality, but because of his timing. I've never bashed his right to do what he did. I have criticized his questionable timing. Seems he only cared about police brutality when he was losing his job anyway. To me, that's dumb.
