For me, though, like you, I see the true colors of the members of this league and the level of disgust I feel makes it impossible for me to feel a sense of connection with the team. To me, that's the whole point of being a fine, is you develop an emotional connection where you identify with that team. I'm not entertained by watching sport for the sake of sport. So I am no longer a fan, and will not watch.

Why should I, or you, or anyone need to justify that to any particular person? And why do we need to be part of a majority in order for our personal convictions to be validated? It's not an election. That some people are offended that others won't watch (but claim they don't care if we watch) shows some kind of wild insecurity in them.

I repeat ... I don't care if you watch or not. Honestly. Nor do I care for the reasons WHY you no longer care to watch. Unless you were one of the the few who claimed that the NFL would lose substantial revenue due to people refusing to watch, for whatever reason, then the point of this thread does not apply to you at all. It has NOTHING to do with your personal convictions. If one's personal convictions led them to toss a thimble of red chalk powder into the air every evening, it does not mean that they will change the color of the blue sky, whether they believe so or not.
