So the NFL is anti-gun...

In addition to becoming increasingly leftist in general. They refused an ad from a firearm manufacturer to air during the Superbowl. Apparently the NFL has a policy of not running ads for legal firearms.

Would be enough to make me stop watching NFL games... if I was watching them in the first place... which I am not. I don't need to watch millionaire players running around a field for millionaire owners making millions of dollars from working people while they push an anti-gun agenda. If that wasn't enough then the spectacle of Bob "I know more than you" Costas lecturing TV viewers on a range of liberal issues would do it.
 
I have already written off NFL football due to the issues you mentioned. I don't miss it a bit, and in fact it seems so "fake" to me these days. I still enjoy watching college ball, but if they go all political and start preaching gun control, I have no problem giving that up as well.
 
I also am done watching the NFL games because of this reason. Next thing you know the NFL will be advertizing for Obamacare.
 
I'm pretty sure Bill Hicks had some things to say about football and other televised "entertainment" but I can't share it here because of the swears.
 
I doubt they care

I tried making myself heard to the NFL and the commisioner during the Bob Costas tirade against guns and I didn't receive a response at all.
**** on 'em.
 
the NFL is 90% money and 10% game.

you have to watch college foosball to get in the 50/50 range of money and game.
 
While I have no idea how the management of the NFL or NFLPA feel about guns I suspect stuff like this has less to do with an anti-gun agenda and more about simply avoiding controversy. Whether we like it or not firearms are often seen as a controversial issue and many companies just prefer to avoid it entirely.
 
I'm done with the NFL. (I'm not exactly sure how this is gun related - its thread related)

I'm done.

They keep changing the rules, and changing the rules, and every season its more and more, "instant replay," and less and less, "referee decision." I'm so beyond board with Pro Football. Actually, I really stopped watching about five years ago but, "a few games here and there, I would watch." However, I really have not even watched a few games for like at least 2 years, and I doubt I'm going to start watching Pro Football again.

The NFL has absolutely ruined the sport.

I also have problems with MLB but for the sake of trying to stay, "at least somewhat on topic," I wont be getting into those.

And BTW, if the NFL is not allowing gun advertisements during games, than they are bloody hypocrites. Exactly how many American Flags do you think have been flown by the NFL? Guns are certainly a right under the American Flag - the NFL are hypocrites.

Enough said. That is all.
 
Maybe I'm weird, but I actually watch the Super Bowl for the game and not the commercials. I don't follow all 32 teams from draft day to the Super Bowl to watch a bunch of beer and viagra commercials.

Unfortunatly, the NFL has a problem being viewed as a bunch of gun-toting thugs, so not airing a firearms commercial makes sense. Imagine the public backlash if they run the ad, and some player shoots himself or someone else. It would be a PR nightmare.

Puls we wouldn't want Bob Costas to get his panties in a buch over a commercial.
