I have received this email from many readers and am posting it here.

Veterans Day Nov 12

There are a few issues that demand motivation to act.

THIS WILL MAKE A STATEMENT…

For those of you who were insulted by the NFL players’ actions in regards to the National Anthem; here is something you can do to voice your opinion. It is totally contradictory to complain about the players kneeling, sitting or not being present for the National Anthem and continue to support the NFL. After all, the fans do support the players salaries!

Veterans are asking for a National boycott of the NFL on Sunday November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend. Boycott all NFL football telecasts., ticket holders should not attend any games; let the teams play in empty stadiums. Pass this post along to all your friends and family. Honor our military, some of whom come home with the American Flag draped over their coffins. Continue with the weekly boycott of televised games. Pass it on Shipmates.

NO FOOTBALL on NOVEMBER 12 VETERANS DAY WEEKEND.
Do something rewarding with your family like helping vets.

I boycotted the NFL last season and only watched the playoffs because the Falcons were in them. I had hoped the Africans would come to their senses this year but that didn’t happen and then I saw Jerry Jones kneel with his players and Arthur Blank stand arm in arm with his players after Trump called the owners out. This was essentially giving the finger to their best fans. I’m now done with the NFL. The Falcons could go to the Super Bowl again (not likely) and I would not watch it. I don’t even read about the NFL in the sports pages or look at the standings. They have lost me just like they have lost many other fans. The owners think they can weather this storm and the fans will come back. As long as the Kneegroes keep protesting that ain’t happening. Goodell and the owners have no balls.

So no worry. I will not watch the NFL on Sunday. I hope many veterans will do the same and continue to boycott the NFL for the rest of the season. Fuck the NFL!
