Anyone still going to watch NFL football this year?

I've never really watched it much in the past, now and then and play off games sometimes. Don't intend to make any effort to watch it this year.

[berettabone]

Never watched it that much to begin with. Probably even less now......................................

[King Rat]

NO F'ING WAY! Actually stopped watching as soon as I saw the NFL condoning the Terrorist on their Knees. Look at the Nancy and Chuck on their knees worshiping the terrorist! Disgusting!

I don’t watch much at all except for a few college bowl games. Some of the wiser college coaches have told the players “You will stand for the National Anthem before the game or you will not be on the team.” Good for them.

I cut back drastically a few years ago. Not watching this year.

[O'Dell]

I only watch Navy games which are fortunately carried by CBS Sports. No "knee" problem there. I haven't watched the NFL in years.

[dustnchips]

I use to watch all of the GB Packer games and the super bowl. This year I will watch none of it.

[JohnR]

No.

[Slugnutty]

Hard no from me.

[Armybrat]

No.

Same here. But I quit watching when that turd Jerry Jones treated Tom Landry like crap when he fired him.

[skiflydive]

NFL whaaaat?

[DavidR]

No.

I stopped watching everything except the Super Bowl about 10 years ago. Stopped watching the Super Bowl two years ago. This year I will burn my two Miami Dolphin t-shirts.

The only good thing about COVID-19 is that it has put an end, albeit temporary, to pro sports.

That's exactly what did it for me ... 1988 or 1989 - can't remember. I just know I spent a lot more time bass fishing after that fiasco. I've since exchanged my bass fishing time to shooting and re-loading time, but still don't watch the over sized little boys in their short pants and hard hats fighting over a ball on the striped playground. I'd lots rather spend my time doing something myself.

I'm leaving Saturday for a couple weeks of Bass and Trout fishing and laying around and maybe a little bit of day drinking.

First time no rush to get off work to leave and really no rush to come back neither. Retirement ain't so bad.

Amen! Enjoy that relaxing time. And stay armed.

Nice. I want to see some fish pictures if you catch some.

[Bawanna]

There will be much shooting, there's a beautiful range that I usually have all to myself, last year I went 4 days and never saw another shooter and didn't have even any of my own people, it was awesome.

This year at least once I'll probably have friends and family there. Can be stressful watching all my stuff and making sure everyone is safe and the right bullets get in the right guns but I'll survive.

[AJBert]

I really want to see some Cincy games, due to their new QB (LSU fan here), but I won't. Haven't watched a game since they started taking a knee and won't start now.

Let me add another way to think about this question. If I find myself at home when one of their games is on TV, I might very well tune into it for a brief time. Understand...I couldn't possibly care less about the NFL. Don't watch their games, don't care about ANY of the teams and haven't for a VERY long time. What I do care about is the influence this gang of thugs seems to be having in my country. If you WISH the NFL would get up off their knees...the ONLY way that will happen is if enough people make direct contact with the SPONSORS and advise them that you will make every effort to avoid their product until they stop supporting the NFL. The folks who provide the BILLIONS of dollars that is spread around to the teams from the TV contract will pay attention IF...if the networks can't sell commercial time on NFL games. You can bet there will be a serious meeting to figure out how to get America to tune in again.

Somewhat amusing story... 40 years ago one of my most brilliant students (A+ in all subjects through high school) shocked his family after graduating high school by rejecting full ride college scholarships to any university in the USA.
Instead, he became a professional bass fisherman in Texas. I heard years later he was doing very well at it, winning a lot of tournaments... even at national competitions.

Exactly guido4198 ..... The NFL runs off of TV advertising money and I seriously doubt there will be many fans paying big bucks to watch in person this year if they even play at all.....Today the league announced that 72 players have tested positive for Covid-19 and training camp hasn't even started yet so I don't see any way there can be a football season this year which is fine with me.....The average NFL player is a street thug that has never had to do anything but play a kids game and are given a free college education and once drafted to pro ball thinks they are God's gift to the world....The NFL announced last week that they will play the song "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" also known as the Black National Anthem BEFORE the Star Spangled Banner and let the players have helmet decals or jersey patches with BLM or the names of victims of Police brutality.....Captain Wus Roger Goodell is going to allow players to take a knee without any fear of league consequences and is doing everything in his power to get any team to hire Commie Kaeperdick back to be league BLM cheerleader....

The current situation with pro football is beyond stupid and I'm now done with all the PC foolishness and will enjoy doing something else on Sunday afternoons like take a nap......

[joeb]

I didn't watch last year and definitely won't this year. Screw the NFL.
I enjoy college football more, anyway. Though, the college season may be in jeopardy.

[Barth]

Used to be a big deal years ago.
Tailgated and watched many Tampa Bay games with friends.
Once the kneeling political crap started I lost interest.
Haven't watched a game in years...

What's football???

Naw, no NFL for me last year nor this year...

I don't miss it.

According to WIKI
"During an interview with talk show host Andy Cohen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Cohen),
Fox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_NFL) lead commentator Joe Buck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Buck) stated that the network had not ruled out the possibility of using artificial crowd noise
on its telecasts to make up for the possibility of limited or no attendance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behind_closed_doors_(sport)) at games,
and that Fox was also exploring the possibility of masking empty stands with CGI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery) crowds"

Holly Molly!
Why not CGI the players too and just broadcast a Madden video game?
