How virtuous of you! And how lucky are we that you “checked back in” to give us your version of the Saints in 2017. Have a great off season. We’ll be here when you come back next year.

You clearly missed the point of "checking out". That loss didn't hurt, because I don't have any personal stake. I will not watch, or buy anything NFL related that would give them ratings or money. That's what a boycott is. If some want to go all the way and not even view box scores, highlights, or articles about anything to do with the NFL, that's fine. I choose to check in on scores and stories because I still read this board. I still like people here and I know it means something to them. My curiosity makes me check the box scores and highlights.

If I want to offer an opinion, that's my business. My problem with you, is the same problem I have with a couple of others who are often going around telling people to go away, or that they aren't fans, because they aren't pumping sunshine. You made a comment to me earlier about some fans being passionate. You're right, they are. So why do you jump on them? And if you are wondering why it "matters" to me, it's because while I was still supporting the team I got the same treatment.

It's an elitist "I'm better than you" attitude that gets under my skin. Perhaps I shouldn't let it. But I do. Because you can disagree with someone without telling them off. That sort of thing is not how adults speak to each other. You've taken my opinions which were directed at no one but the league, and treated them as an attack on the entire board. I've made a point of not bringing up who is or is not boycotting.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
