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.

A lot of people — from a variety of belief systems — are unhappy about professional football players who refuse to respect the flag. The president and others have suggested a boycott of the sport.

Do you have an opinion about this?

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

Your comments are appreciated.
