Are you planning to boycott or reduce viewing/attending Pro-football games?

This is probably one of those polls that might not interest our international participants, but all are welcome to vote and comment. Comments from folks who are not in or from the USA can be especially enlightening.

Do you have an opinion about this?

I am not a football fan, so a boycott or non-boycott look the same.
