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.
