If a famous/powerful figure announced a movement to boycott the NFL until they work out a deal with the refs, would you be down? This would be on some official ? . Millions of fans behind them.

Me, hell yeah. I got college football so I'm good. The NFL isn't the only show in town.

I would also like to say my team hasn't been affected yet but its hard to ignore blatant ignorance of the refs and the NFL's out of ? attitude.

    Not saying it would happen just a hypothetical situation.

    That wasn't the point. The point is that you know you have a large group of people backing you and someone with a voice saying enough is enough. I never said anything about them telling you what to think.

    To all those that say nothing will change. That's the reason nothing would change.

    In a hypothetical situation creating the perfect storm to make the NFL stop shuffling their feet, you say ? it.

    If it was just me saying boycott I could understand people saying no, but I'm talking millions fans plus powerful voices.

    Bruh...hypothetical situation. Celebrities, professional athletes, millions of fans. It world be a realistic chance to make an impact.

    Why y'all bringing common sense and realism in here to destroy my thread? Lol

    once again who cares what a large group of ppl are doing or what a famous voice says. I'm a niners fans and a huge Steve Young fan. If he says don't watch the games anymore, I'm not listening to him. If i felt that deeply about the call last night to the point where I would stop watching, then I would have already said that today and not watched this weekend. I don't need a movement to jump off 1st then say oh yea let me boycott that. for example i haven't ate at popeye's since they put that cooning ass sister in the tv commercials. My cousins and my girl say I'm crazy for this one man boycott but i don't care i', gonna do me.

    You should've asked people that actually pay for the product. I think some of these refs are playing favorites or just fixing the games all together. Theres no way the NFL can tell its customers that what they see with their own eyes didnt happen. If a team videotapes a signal, that may not be the call or put up cash to knock someones head off ? , are up in arms though? But refs directly influencing games is no big deal...WTF is that?
