I guess some people have the ability to enjoy simple pleasures without letting other things get in the way. I believe it is known as compartmentalism.

And some of us have a sincerely held belief that "the movement" the NFL is supporting is divisive, destructive, and harms most the very people the proponents of the movement claim to be helping.

I think there is more than enough evidence to support that belief.

If we don't want to support those who support that movement, then we have every right to withhold our support.

Yes you do. I doesn't affect anyone but yourself so go ahead. The only thing that is irritating is the constant blowing of "your" own horn glorifying your personal sacrifice.



The "your" refers to all "you" that think the rest of us give a flying rat's ass whether you watch or not.

By the way ...



Best ratings for FOX's week 1 "Game of the Week" since 2016.

Most-watched telecast since Super Bowl LIV.

FOX's most-streamed NFL regular-season Sunday ever.

New Orleans delivered a 45.6 rating and a 63 share.

Wow!

It definitely was the highlight game of the week. I fully expect the Monday night game upcoming to be the same.

By the way, again ...

I don't see it as anyone blowing their own horn. For some, it is a sacrifice - although perhaps not as much as it would have been prior to that horrific missed call in the NFCCG a couple of years ago.

I thought that part of the goal was to "start a conversation." Now it appears that "shut up" is the response to those with a view that is different than the views of those in support of "the movement."

Ironic that he's irritated by people who come here to "blow 'their' own horn" when thats 99% of what he does here. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. The only thing a bag of hot air can do is blow.

He clearly cares a LOT about whether or not people watch, otherwise he wouldn't feel the need to constantly nag people who don't. I'm soooo shocked that he contradicted himself.

How would you know? You claim to have blocked me ages ago so you have no clue of what I post ... unless you are full of crap and haven't blocked me. Well, which is it?

I fail to see "shut up" in my response. I simply said that most people are tired of the same people repeatedly letting us know that they are not watching games. Do I like seeing politic involved with the game? No, not really. And that goes both ways. The politics of boycotting is just as irritating as the politics of protesting. Does it keep me from this forum to read and talk about my Saints and the NFL? No. Just as the other doesn't stop me from watching either, as well.
