Watched about 20 minutes worth at the barber shop. Still here about everything from sports talk.
It can be tough to escape in that regard.
Thanksgiving was the first time i was in the room with it since the Superbowl. I ignored it for the most part. Wont lie and say I didnt watch any plays at all. But being this far removed, without desire to reengage in it. Shit was kind of boring. Ive always thought college was more exciting, but what little I watched seemed too sanitized, safe, and predictable. Havent relapsed.
It has NOT been easy. The Jags have been garbage for 10 years, but of course when I stop watching they start winning.
I have not really missed.it at all. It has freed up my time to focus.more on productive business matters and spend more time with my family.
Fuck the Massa Plantation NFL!
Ive noticed this too. Even as it's around me, I haven't had that itch to watch.

Smh luck of the draw. Could be a Giants fan I suppose..
I don't care for her music but she's earned a fan here if this is true.
Cardi B Won’t Perform at Super Bowl Halftime Show Unless Colin Kaepernick Returns to NFL

Add Cardi B to the list of rappers who are riding for Colin Kaepernick.
The former NFL quarterback’s controversy is still alive and well, and the Bronx rapper has her own boycott in mind, as a way of showing support. TMZ ran into Bardi Saturday night (Feb. 3), at the Maxim Party in Minneapolis, Minn., and asked the “Bodak Yellow” MC when she was going to perform during a Super Bowl halftime show. Cardi was quick with her response, stating plainly, “When they hire Colin Kaepernick back.”
Her enunciation is a little off, but you get the point. Many rappers have been showing support for Kaepernick, who has been unable to get even a back-up QB job since protesting police brutality by kneeling during the National Anthem during games, including J. Cole, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. Most recently, Meek Mill, Joey Bada$$ and Nick Cannon made $10,000 donations to the Kaepernick-affiliated charity, Communities United for Police Reform, in New York City. T.I., Chris Brown, Jhene Aiko and more have also donated $10,000 to Kaepernick’s million-dollar pledge campaign.
“Despite my brother @meekmill’s current circumstances, he continues to stay connected in the community of Philly,” Kaepernick recently tweeted. “He pledged to go 10for10 on my MillionDollarPledge. We’re both donating $10k for a combined $20k to Youth Service Inc. Keep staying strong Meek, we love you brother!”

Been a good boycott.
Nothing missed.
No regular season.
No playoffs.
No Super Bowl.
I feel relieved.
Congrats to those that made it through to the end.

Boy. Pretty empty in here.
Like I was saying earlier, it's been fairly easy letting the NFL go. Far easier than I thought it would be.
Personally my Netflix game been on fire lol
Surprisingly they understood. I didn't really catch any backlash when it was understood that it was for Kap.
You'd have to be one lost ass negro to not get that.
I'm alone in not watching it. My girl supports me, but she's over her brother's house visiting and I know he's watching the game, he told me he ain't boycotting.
What can I say to folks that agree with me that the NFL don't give a damn about black folks but still want to watch it?
I've boycotted the nfl all season and I'm not watching the super bowl. First time I can remember not knowing anything about the season. Been a dolphins fan since I was knee high. I'm 38 and this is the first time I can't tell you the fins record. When ever anyone brings up football I tell them straight up I don't support the nfl anymore after the blackballing of Kaep. They have acted like they understood. They might have talked shit about me behind my back but nobody has said anything to my face about it. Not sure I can ever return to football. My team especially had the opportunity and need to sign him and they chose to sign cutler. That tells me all I need to know about the team. It would be like going back to a bitch after she shitted on you because she has good pussy.
I leave em alone. I'm not preaching to nobody. If the NFL means more to them than what's really happening in the world, that's their choice. It is what it is.I'm alone in not watching it. My girl supports me, but she's over her brother's house visiting and I know he's watching the game, he told me he ain't boycotting.

Just gotta focus on what we're doing.

I didn't watch one second of the Super Bowl.
Out of habit, I watched a few minutes of the first Falcons game and the tail end of the last Falcons game where they got eliminated, and I watched those with a digital TV antenna.
Other than that, I avoided watching the NFL the whole season.
Didn't buy any of their shit. Games, clothes, game packages, etc.
I avoided most of the NFL threads on here. I went in the SB thread tonight just for the memes.
I still somewhat played fantasy on ESPN and Yahoo, but I obviously didn't do well because I didn't watch highlights, I didn't research news or anything I usually do. Clearly, my heart wasn't in it anymore. I'm definitely leaving those leagues next season.
I only somewhat hinted my manager at work, a white dude, who's a sports fanatic and a Pats fan, that I was boycotting. He would just ask me every week "did you watch the ___ game?" and I would just look at him every week like "nah" and pretended like I cared what happened in the games. He didn't even put it together.
I didn't tell him (or anybody else) I was boycotting because I didn't think he would understand why, because he's a Pats fan and we live in Georgia. I also didn't feel like telling him why he wasn't shit for that. He didn't even consider that I was probably boycotting the NFL. He just assumed that I just stopped watching TV or some shit and looked at me like I was crazy.
I am glad the Pats lost, so I don't have to hear his gloating tomorrow.
But yeah, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

I did not watch fhe whole season or 1 second of the SuperBowl. As DJ Candle stated, if the NFL means more to individuals than what is happening, than, you do you. I know I am preaching to the choir with most on the board, but...............
Fuck the Massa Cracka Ass Cracka owned NFL! Massa was like, look what we did to Kaep and how we feel about police brutality, and ninjas will still follow "their" teams like a bunch of bitch ass sheep!
That is all......
Be blessed and have a nice day
