Seriously they could. And if brought back there are likely NFL players who hate what has happened and would rather play in XFL at much lower pay based on beliefs. Players can’t lash out right now its been taken over.

I bam looking at this board alone,80% is political based,,.. is it even considered a football forum today. During a normal season it would be more football discussion. It’s August and we just signed our draft picks, how much discussions The lack of football talk has to be tied to the fact that people can't attend training camp this year and preseason games won't be played. I mean at this time last year we were like 2 weeks from the first preseason game? The players have reported but what is really happening? Is anything happening certainly nothing worthwhile to talk about. Also people are just fed up with the fact that the league has gotten into bed with a radical left wing terrorist group that is telling the league basically what to do and go against that and there will be hell to pay. Even that spineless quarterback in New Orleans is still begging for forgiveness for going against the masses. The league has and will have alot of goodwill to gain back from hardcore fans that at this point seem to just not really care anymore.

I have removed Vikings bookmarks for web pages. I don't listen to KFAN with Paul Allen and his views and interviews he may do. I am just done with them. Period. Don't care about training camp and who may shine or who may get cut. Just DONE!

Uncle I am also,thinking. How did these new off season leagues did with crowds, were they large at the start because of the newness, but slow down after a game or two, NFL may be a little different. But I am speaking for myself. Finding it a little hard at this point. With the uncertainties...I bam looking at this board alone,80% is political based,,.. is it even considered a football forum today. During a normal season it would be more football discussion. It’s August and we just signed our draft picks, how much discussions My point isn’t on this forum. It’s the interest in football this year especially because of the pandemic FYI, in the past I asked/told the site owner: 1. I could stop posting or greatly reduce pol. He said no, keep on doing it 2. If we created a separate pol board. He said no A few weeks ago I made 5 football posts and only 1 of them got even 1 reply. I think people have finally had enough of sports wokeness. If you look at it another way football talk was going to tank regardless, due to wokeness. But at least this board stays active and has all other topics. So it stays viable. There will be football posts I’ll still post football tweets and info even tho I’m boycotting all the sports. And in a year or so when the $ports have their come to Je$u$ moment and $ee way lower money revenue then they have to get rid of wokene$$. Caps will decrease tons. Good players will get cut to save costs. Its gonna be a huge reset button. These rich fucks who play a sport will change their tune when the money train stops coming. It will happen. So until then its all other topics. I’m greatful to have a place to talk pol and other stuff with friends. We’ve all known each other so long. Other football boards will decline too, and can’t talk other topics. They will have some but it will be a greatly reduced volume.

Hopefully one day we can actually enjoy the NFL again and have both sports and politics to talk about.

Unfortunately I have a feeling it will never be like before. NEVER. This world is led by insane hypocrits (I exclude Donald Trump), power-obsessed criminals and mass stupidity. I see no hope. There is hope and you have to look at the long game just like sports. BLM/Antifa/Wokeness is out to an early 1st qtr lead and all seems lost. But over the next 2 years the fans will score more points forcing owners to clamp down on this crap. Players will make less money and finally realize who really pays them - the fans. Right now players are doing their TD dances all while fans are booing. As fans stop watching and attending the TV networks will get much less money for advertisements. ThenTV has to cut NFL contracts which is how they pay for players and set CAPs. I love sports and am sacrificing now so we can have a politic free sports future. It will happen its just a matter of how long it takes. Money talks and your viewership is part of that. Same as going to Sports sites like Espin and CBS and Bleacher Report - if you stop clicking on them they make less money. When money goes down they have to look into the why and fix it to survive or even shareholders. So I do see it getting better. We are still in the first quarter of the game. Play the long game and we’ll get our sports back

Find people who do follow and post tweets. Just don’t click on links in tweets that take you to main sports sites. And really, do what you must I am only stating what I’m doing and why. If you cheat you cheat. Its not cheating of you never decided to boycott lol. I did like the drunk classes and admitted openly I have a sports problem lol. Goves me better chance to succeed.

Just saying it seems like 75% of the board, making it more of a political board, than football. Some probably like that, others probably never look at joining as they are looking for football related. i personally check non football occasionally, not as much my liking. today a lot deals with as one saying, no one can attend training camp. the pandemic the BLM and taking a knee,
