I'm not the only one who won't be attending games or buying jerseys and video games. There are several folks in my sphere of influence that are in the same boat. My wife (and really me too) was pissed that one year after she buys me a Jersey for Christmas, I'm done with the NFL. She understands though.
You do you, but let's not piss on those that have a damn good reason for boycotting the NFL and/or the Seahawks.

To support 594: $500,000 To support 1639: $1,000,000 To support these Republicans: $100,000
That's right . . . he has given fifteen times as much to Washington state gun control measures.
I'm sticking with, "Fuck Paul Allen" and "Fuck the Seahawks."

Agreed 100%....but the pissing has been from the boycotters on those who still root for the team, and the most sanctimonious ones self-admittedly never liked the NFL to begin with. A prime example is this thread, which was about Allen donating to the GOP, and has once-again bashing not just Allen, or the Seahawks, but those that watch football. How's this any different than the Progressives telling us what we can and can't support ?

My closet is full of supporting the "enemy" then. Same could be said with everything the members on here use daily from companies that do the same thing. There's some truth to that, but I also believe there is a difference between supporting anti-2A companies begrudgingly vs. supporting them enthusiastically. I know there is without a doubt, yet a few people on this very thread will stand on their soap boxes while being connected to wifi, on a device, that were all created, sold or serviced by anti gun companies. Yet they see no irony with telling everyone how bad Hawks fans are for supporting Paul Allen. I have been going to games since '85 looooooooong before Paul Allen was the owner. Just because I don't agree with his personal beliefs, who, or what he supports doesn't mean I am going to turn my back on something I have been following my entire life. No, there is a world of difference. I need a working computer, phone, internet, and servers, etc. to survive and run my life/business. Without massive personal costs and reinventing the wheel, there are essentially few choices - and probably ALL tech companies are leftist/anti-gun so there's no getting around it. Pro sports that line the enemies pockets are optional. Easy to cut out of my life on principle. Where I can, I stand on principle and cut out paying for the enemy. I used to be a $$$ contributor to the NFL in some capacity, but no longer am. I don't based ANY buying decisions on their ads or athlete sponsors, I don't pay for their service, and I don't go to games. The game is hemorrhaging fans. Allen is the enemy of gun rights.

You NFL supporters get upset when we talk shit in the "trash talk" thread, so we've tried to respect that and let the fans have their place to talk football.
Now don't get pissy when we do some NFL bashing in a completely separate thread here.

Well to be fair, the "greatest franchise ever" was playing in the game. So its cool, but only once. Twice means Im a fan.  Unsure but if that was a jab at me, I went to a SB party with a GF for a host of reasons including food and drink and socializing. It was a gathering with a game on. My contribution to any pro-sports in the last 5+ years has been $0.00. Not one paid cable ad, not one paid game, not one concessions purchase, etc. Zilch. Probably less than zero, b/c I essentially avoid the city or anything Seahawks or Seattle related at all costs. Meanwhile, those paying for Seahawks are watering the tree that is attached to the noose around the neck of the 2nd Amendment....

Oh LC, how quickly you forget about the old NFL trash talk thread how you were basicially riding the Patriots jock over several pages. All the stats, and players names you were dropping was quite comical for an anti fan.
Carry on now.
