        With you on a lot, but the politics reason is stupid, period. Not watching football because some guys make a political statement is weak.

        I stopped watching after the Ray Lewis incident. It was hard at first. Don't miss it AT ALL now.

        You all can go knit some scarfs while the rest of us watch football. Don't act like players dont know what they are getting themselves into.

        Nobody is tuning out because of the excessive refereeing and commentary? How did that not make the list?

        Just to be clear, players aren't kneeling for themselves, but for those who can't defend themselves against institutional racism.

        SUGGESTION: For those who have "white-collar work" t/d, tune in to game, but turn the vol off. I think u will be satisfied with the result.
