fuck a football talk forum
This is no different than banning the Confederate flag after the church massacre by Dylann Roof. The image of CK is like a Confederate Flag. The Madden shooting was a terrorist attack related to CK. Nike in coordination with the NFL is showing defiance in the face of terrorism.
Shooting kids playing a video game was a major mistake. Nobody is backing down or living in fear of you.
It's over. Everyone on here watching the Rams-Raiders game. It's a good one too. They just too afraid to admit it. Don't wanna be yelled at on the board. I don't give a shit. I'll tell you I'm watching.
I have anime and video games to hold my interest until basketball season starts in a few weeks....
Even then,I'll be doing something besides watching football, I don't even watch college football no more.
TRUTH ALERT
havent watched that bullshit in years. I hate to say it, but the majority of black folks are still traumatized bish made niggas used to being afraid of master. my haitian side of me doesn't get it. It seems a lot like to be in the position of inferiority and getting pissed on, then turning around and giving hard earned dollars after they get spit on and treated like a boy. a lot of them were raised by only a mom and have a bigger pussy than her.
now watch them make a ton of excuses or get mad at me instead of the oppressor responsible for shitting on their basic rights.

I didn’t watch the Texans
Which is why Nike started this whole campaign....Because the boycott initiated when Kaepernick couldn't get hired onto a damn practice squad has no impact right? That's why Ford Motor has also spoken up
MAJOR NFL sponsors. Two of the biggest in fact
Honestly, they’re responding to Trump, not a boycott. NFL ratings were up from last year in week one.
Trump has hijacked the entire thing.
But not watching because it’s not something you want to support is a personal decision and shouldn’t be affected by ratings or ads anyway.
Beautifully. Fuck the nfl. Never going back.
To those that caved...such is life. Enjoy what you enjoy.
Even though I dont have a Neilson box, I will not watch NFL games. I am not playing fantasy on Fanduel or Draft Kings either. It's what I chose to do. It does hurt a little seeing the threads here, like nothing happened but hey... People are going to do what they want.
Ava DuVernay Boycotting Super Bowl Over NFL’s “Racist Treatment Of Colin Kaepernick” – Deadline
(UPDATED with Colin Kaepernick response)The biggest TV event of the year is losing one of Hollywood’s most high-profile directors as a viewer.
Ava DuVernay tweeted that she will not be “a spectator, viewer or supporter” of Super BowlLIII due to what she called the NFL’s “racist treatment” of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. She concluded her message by writing, “To watch the game is to compromise my beliefs. It’s not worth it,” closing with a reprise of hashtag #ImWithKap.
Nick Cannon tweeted his support soon after DuVernay took her stand. Common tweeted Saturday in support of #ImWithKap and The Chi creator Lena Waithe re-tweeted Kaepernick from Saturday showing famed activist Angela Davis wearing a jersey with his number seven and an #ImWithKap message. NBA stars LeBron James and Kevin Durant also wore Kaepernick jerseys this weekend.
And later today, the former San Francisco 49er himself responded to DuVernay’s declaration:
Love you Sister @ava

Whether or not a boycott gains steam or can manage to make a dent in the 100 million-plus viewership that the NFL’s big game has seen in recent years is far from a given. CBS, which has sold out all ad inventory on the game, is banking on today being a $500 million revenue day company-wide. However, with Super Bowl ratings among the 18-49 demo falling to new lows of late and advertisers watching with careful eyes, the possibility of any eyeballs drifting away from the screen is not one any stakeholder enjoys contemplating.
For the NFL, whose TV ratings rebounded 5% this season, the tweets extend the long-running controversy over Kaepernick, who found himself shunned by the league in 2016 after kneeling during the national anthem as a protest against police violence. The discord bookends season that began with the quarterback breaking out in a Nike “Just Do It” ad in September that sparked divergent and passionate reaction.
DuVernay has long been allied with Kaepernick and the causes he has championed. She spearheaded a high-profile event last month called #HowWeHeal: Celebrating the National Day of Racial Healing. Speakers that day included Judd Apatow, Melissa Etheridge and DuVernay’s collaborator on Selma, actor David Oyelowo.
Kaepernick, 31, has a pending grievance against the NFL, alleging a conspiracy by owners over his social justice activism, which networks and league officials said played a role in two years of ratings declines in 2016 and 2017. Last year, an arbitrator rejected the NFL’s request to dismiss the grievance.
