It’s funny they’re still boycotting the NFL. They all supposedly finished boycotting it during the kneeling and BLM controversies that occurred years ago.
They’re essentially opting out of all of the cultural ties they had to America at large. They only want to associate with their own cultists. Aside from the irony of them creating a safe space, they’re also creating a breeding ground for militants and extremists. It’s no surprise we had a guy chop his dad’s head off for being a government employee.
That’s quite a bomb to drop in your last sentence. Gonna need a source on that one.
I thought we were all looking at the same 10 posts here!

This is exactly how it feels 😂 compared to Reddit, I actually really enjoy that. This still has a cozy community vibe, kinda like Reddit did back in 2012 or 2013. Then it all just kinda fractured. Not really a bad thing, as Reddit hosts so many close community, but I do miss how it felt in its earlier years where the entire site had this kinda kindred feeling about it.
I hope we all get to experience this more one day when we completely bungle an attempt to correctly identify a domestic terrorist
Happened yesterday, indoctrined right wing self proclaimed conspiracy theorist son killed his “traitor” father and showed the severed head on YouTube for a few hours.
Yet they’re the ones who think everyone else is destroying America. Not sure how many leftists have severed the heads of their fathers to date…
33 year old in Buck’s County, PA. He filmed a 15 minute YouTube video holding his father’s severed head. The Advocate is the only source I’ve seen so far, sorry. But I have seen the YT video and it’s beyond fucked.
I wonder if by boycotting they’ll find interest in other sports where the league doesn’t own all of the teams.
- sent by person who previously swore off the NFL after Kaepernick and some commercial they considered “too woke” but has been watching after missing a game or two.
I’ve got a buddy I’ve known for over 20 years who has been boycotting the NFL. He used to be the commissioner of our fantasy football league, which is made up of 12 of us guys going back to college. The fantasy league is kind of a glue that holds us all together, giving us an excuse to meet up for beers once a year and then talk shit all throughout the football season.
But this guy swore off football, which effectively cut him off from our social group. He doesn’t understand how we’re all continuing with the league, meeting for beers, and in general just living like we were before. To him, the NFL has committed the ultimate crime of going “woke” and we should stop supporting it, even if it means giving up relationships that we’ve been maintaining for decades.
I just don’t get how people get so brainwashed. But honestly, it’s both scary and sad.
to be fair boycotting is difficult to be made effective at all.
It feels like people learned nothing from 2016 and 2020. Conservatives always say and do stupid-ass shit in election years to get people riled up and distracted, with the eventual goal being to overwhelm you. This is just the first and most mellow of the crazy things we will see in an election cycle. It would really be best for the entire world if everyone just ignored the dumb things that these people say, instead of spreading it across the internet, and across the globe. Remember the wisdom of ages, do not feed the trolls.
