The longer it is gone the more I feel like an ahole for ever watching and caring about other grown men play a game.

My dad used to say this exact line (usually while telling me to turn off the t.v. or the radio and do the yard work). I thought it made him such a loser - - other kids dads at least cared a little about sports.

At the age of 60, I have finally become my dad.

True. I remember having a "this is it???" moment after the Steelers won their most recent Super Bowl. Then you think back over all the time wasted when I used to be into both CFB and the NFL. My CFB interest has waned over the years but the NFL was still my goto. Last couple of years, it's been waning too.

They'll just call us what we call the panty waisted Liberals that we're yelling into the wind. We need the whole US of A to join in boycotting ALL SPORTS as much as it's gonna hurt some...including me who loves his Cowboys but I can't let this continue. THE WORD OF A SPORTS BOYCOTT NEEDS TO BE SPREAD THROUGHOUT. The team owners will cry out in pain because it will hurt their bottom dollar. I know that there was a minor boycott where fans were burning their jersey but this time it has to be widespread and REAL. It's an ultimatum for them and if enough money is lost through people not buying paraphanelia from teams, it. will. hurt. them.

If it's even 10%, that's enough to freak them out. Don't organize it, don't try to tout it as a great walkoff, because if it doesn't produce the intended results, the wokelets will just use it to mock and denigrate the people that were mad as weak and addicted, and the people that were kind of on the fence would be discouraged and just go crawling back. Just don't watch, encourage people that are upset to not watch, try to get them to encourage others to not watch, etc. That's how it worked the first time they tried this and it worked like a charm. You had the NFL flailing for a few months wondering what happened and where all of their fans went and advertisers angry that they weren't getting their money's worth on their ad buys. Organization would just put the bullseye on the back of the boycotters rather than the league.

I guess the point is I'm passing through aggravation into apathy. The longer it's gone the more I consider it lunacy.

That's what scares them the most. It's easier to get someone back that still cares.

That's why the true opposite of love is not hate - it's indifference.

I know I'm asking too much.. but I'm hoping FoxMW's ratings are in the crapper for today's Cardinals game.

(they painted "BLM" On the pitcher's mound)

Unfortunately, too many St. Louis residents will be among the "we don't care, we just want our baseball".
