Default Any other NFL boycotters? Do you miss it?

So it's 4 weeks into my NFL boycott and I must say I don't miss it all. Just much better things to do with my time on a Sunday afternoon. I've tuned in for a few minutes to catch some scores, but find the games quite boring. And the obnoxious halftime and postgame shows give me a headache after about 30 seconds. So, I don't miss the NFL at all. I'm curious who else is boycotting and if they miss it?

I no longer have Pinnacle, so I don't bet halftimes, and i did not buy Sunday Ticket. But I am not boycotting watching.
No merchandise, no tickets(with the exception of scalping playoff tix), and no big ticket pruchases from advertisers.

I still watch the Patriots faithfully, but no more "random games" that don't mean anything, I have a sour taste in my mouth about the NFL.

I cut my NFL viewing down about 50% I think. I also have been "boycotting" any NFL merchandise. Do I miss the extra games, "no".

I haven't watched the NFL, or many pro sports for years. Wasting my time watching arrogant millionaire thugs chase a ball around is not very interesting to me. The only reason I can see an intelligent person watching pro sports is the aspect of betting on them. - But to just sit there and get excited cause your 'team' is playing, I mean that is quite a pathetic way to spend ones time.

I do as well, but thanks to DVRs, it does not dominate my day. I record the game and usually watch it later in the day.

Thanks to technology, you can watch your favorite team *and* have a life.

arrogant millionaire thugs

Either you're a sports fan or your not. But not watching because somehow the amount the athletes get paid offends you is idiotic. How much people get paid for whatever it is they do is just a market, not a referendum on their human worth. Get over it.
