Meh, its a habit that's a little hard to kick entirely. Though I can say that I didn't watch the game today and I never felt like I was missing out on anything. Honestly I keep coming back here mostly because I feel a certain kinship with most of the folks here, even though I don't know any of you personally. I've been a registered member for 9 years and a lurker since many years before that. The league could fold in on itself tomorrow and I'd probably still keep coming here.

Because you are coming off the off-season and hadn't seen a game in 9 months. Visiting here is in your regular pattern and those behaviors are hard to break, its the same as not walking outside to smoke a cigarette after having done it for 10 years.

Honestly I noticed absolutely nothing about yesterdays game being different until they panned across empty sets or commercial time.

I am a purist in that I just love watching football. I didn't notice anything on anyone's helmets or in any end-zones. All I noticed was Kamaras gold shoes and his sparkley mouthpiece lol.

You guys are kind of protesting nothing.

Actually I come here even during the offseason. Call it a pattern if you like, but it has nothing to do with whether or not a game is being played.

I used to love watching football too, but the last several months of being force fed propaganda by the league, the players and the media has soured me on it. I dont consider my not watching to be a protest, I've simply lost interest.

The likely reason you didn't notice anything different during yesterday's game is because the league is beginning to realize that they're pandering to a small percentage of screeching voices on Twitter while alienating their actual fan base. CBS specifically instructed their commentators not to speak on any social justice issues during the game. Fox probably did the same thing. Im sure they'd like nothing more than for everyone to forget that they've spent months telling their fans that they're bad people unless they agree with the league's adopted stance.

Unlike the league, I've never demanded that anyone agree with me. If you still enjoy it then by all means enjoy it. I don't get anything from it anymore.

Doesn’t seem that you understood my first paragraph.

As far as why I didn’t notice anything, the why is irrelevant isn’t it? You complained about being force fed, I have not been force fed anything. Honestly, it would take a couple of very physical and violent people to force feed me anything, I don’t do the victim well.
