As one of the obvious few football fans in
this thread who's been a fan & watched my favorite sport for decades... I respectfully disagree. It absolutely is also about us. We're the ones funding them after all so I think our opinions count just as much as yours. I for one have tuned out all NFL games except the Pats in my home & I'll tune in after kickoff. I used to watch all day Sunday pretty much, Monday night, Thurs night. I've gone to countless games, spent a small fortune on merchandise but not anymore. Hopefully once their ratings go down they'll adjust. Boston sports teams just got together to fight racism which I applaud. Again, insulting 1/2 your fan base (justified or not) is not smart business. I'll spend my time & $ how I see fit. My friends who served & are all upset - that's what upsets me whether anyone else thinks they're justified or not - they are entitled to their feelings & opinions too. And don't confuse boycotting the NFL with being racist, they are far from it.
And don't confuse legal, peaceful protest with being unpatriotic, they are far from it.
