BOYCOTT THE NFL

I know this much.... Goodell might want to sit out going to the superbowl this year.... Talk about boo's...... The roof of the dome might get blown off with the levels of hatred he's going to recieve...

Well we can throw the whole season away now.

GO BRONCO'S!

As fans, we could boycott games like the Hall of Fame Game, that would take a whole state and it's fans around the world out of the Neilson Ratings. Then we could not watch any playoff games or the Super Bowl if the Saints aren't in it.

As for Saints players, I would not talk to any national sports writers, only local news reporters. If the national press wants anything, see the local sports writers. If asked a question on television, the player should say "No Comment" and walk off. At any sports event when a national sports writer asks a question, the player should say, "No Comment". The team and players could have a private press conference with their local only sports writers and tabloids, but not say anything to the national media period. Snub them as they have snubbed us.

Personally I'm not going to boycott anything. I love the NFL and will be watching my Sunday Ticket just like every other year. Hell, that's like asking me to boycott crawfish ... or beer. No way!!

Business as usual eh?

Not me. I'll watch games (and that's IF I decide to watch) for free on TV or hacked on the web. I am increasingly disgusted with what the NFL is becoming under Goodell's watch, and I am FURIOUS at the motivation for all this, which is pre-trial posturing. It's sickening. I don't understand why other people don't feel the same way. Seriously. I just don't understand. We don't have a team without the league. The game is changing right before our eyes and people are willing to say "it's all going to be okay". It's NOT okay. Not if you are a football fan.

The only way to be heard is protests outside games and don't buy tickets to the games.

Easier said than done.

We'd have to be organized...

Well lets get organized....Preserve the game of Football!

Already done. I'm taking my oldest boy golfing on Sundays. Screw the NFL. I'll watch LSU and that's about it. Still a Saints fan, just not of the NFL anymore.

It's the emotions talking. Once training camp starts back up, everyone will be alright.

No sir. It isn't. The game has changed. Drastically. We already see it on the field and it just got magnitudes worse. If not now, then very soon you will see players afraid to play the game the way it has historically been played.

The dynamics of 'getting after the QB' are already a thing of the past. Every hit is scrutinized by the league. This will not get better. The NFL is over. It is already and will become an even bigger shell of what I knew and loved.

The game is different now. What you are about to see is Arena football played on a 100 yard field. Defense is done.
