Should we boycott the NFL until the real referees come back? - Peter - 11-09-2012 10:22 AM
I think yes.
If you agree, you can join the Boycott the NFL till the Real Refs Come Back group on Facebook.
I have no affiliation with the group or with facebook. I am just disgruntled.

While I appreciate your noble gesture, unfortunately people are so addicted to football they would never put a boycott into practice...even if it means attending a game that gives them ammunition to complain complain complain about how their team was ripped off.
Personally, I think we should have all boycotted long ago over astronomical ticket prices. But if that doesn't drive fanatical fans away, I doubt something like this could either.
I wish people were smarter, but...
Anyway, I wish you success with your group!

We don't have to totally boycott. If a few million people drop nfl network, Redzone, and Sunday Ticket, I think that would get their attention

I'm done watching. College football is where it at baby.

I agree with whabtbob. Fans may get all upset, and may make all kinds of noise about boycotting, just like they did when we had the lockout. But when Sunday afternoon rolls around and they're sitting around the house with nothing to do, they'll be grabbing that remote, cussing under their breath, saying "I'm just going to check the score", and next thing you know it's 8 hours later and they're still watching.

The best way to get the real Ref's back is to boycott the advertisers that place ads on CBS, FOX, and NBC. An organized boycott of advertisers that run ads during NFL games would force the NFL to listen to the fans.
