National Football League [NFL] – Page 23

My family and I are done with the NFL after reading that the "black national anthem" will be played at the beginning of week 1 NFL games and BEFORE the national anthem. What a disgrace to our country and a slap in the face of the majority of us who have enough balls to NOT join the bandwagon and instead live daily lives of unity with ALL people in our communities. Shame on you, NFL!

If you play any anthem other than our national anthem I will boycott watching any of NFL games! I will no longer buy any NFL products or tickets again! If you play a black anthem then I want you to play every races anthem even if we have to make 1 up! It's TIME THE NFL TO STAND UP! WE ARE AMERICANS! IF YOU DON'T I HOPE THE NFL GOES BANKRUPT! America has had ENOUGH! LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

So you are going to do a rendition of the "black anthem"?. Shame on you. Just another way to devise people. These guys would be just another [censored] head in prison or on welfare if it wasn't for us white patriotic fans. [censored] you!
I will cancel my nfl ticket and never give another [censored] about your league. You wonder why people think your over paid idiots. This is an example.

I remember back when Jim McMahon had problems with the NFL with headbands. Though I think police reform is a good solution to the current problem. I quit watching the NFL (accept for a couple of Saints and the Superbowl last year), I played fantasy football for years, loved the NFL.

I Will Not Watch Any Sport Which turns political.

If you want to give them (meaning player, including the ones who play candy crush) a platform, let them put it on headbands, socks, shirts, pants, etc.

This is our country, I am proud of where it has came from and hopefully where it goes, but this is nuts.

ALL lives matter, period. We are AMERICANS... the rest should not matter and WE should all think of this country is OURS, figure out how to fix it not destroy it. STAND FOR THE FLAG.

Quit rushing to judgement and yes, prosecute anyone who breaks the law, retraining Police is a great Idea, pulling back some of their power given by the Patriot Act.

Please return the NFL to OUR FOOTBALL, get out of politics please. Let all who have problems with the Gov, let them complain, politic, lead, help on their own time... Football is Our release from the problems each of us face.

All Lives Matter (even those who hate the USA). I wonder why anyone would want to come here... the world has many problems out there, but there are ways and means to make changes in the country. Ruining OUR sport is such a lame way to function, a sport which majority are brown (many not privileged, which should think about getting together and helping their communities). I hope all this fixes the police, but I think its going to force a police state... please no!

Thanks
and old friend, been missing you, but this is the last for the NFL,

The online company FOCO is using the NFL brand/logos/team names to scam people who are NFL fans and season ticket holders.

I am an original season ticket holder Tennessee Titans and until 2015 The Houston Texans. This is the first time that a company has used the NFL to steal from me. I order NFL products online on a seasonal basis. The season 2020 I ordered from the company face masks with team logos on each mask for the NY Giants, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys. The company FOCO is using the NFL's brand to scam and cheat.

To Whom it may concern:

I am a 42 year old Canadian father of 6 under the age of 16, 4 of which are boys and all of which love and play football. We love watching nlf games and, like most others, love to make a party out of Superbowl. The NFL does a tremendous job at so many things and I want to commend them in many ways, even the sound of a game going on in another room tends to warm my heart.
Having said this the NLF is very, very close to losing us as a family and our extended family of football lovers. The NFL's choice to make the halftime show completely uncomfortable and inappropriate for our family to watch together was ill-advised. Whoever thought it was a good idea to host such an erotically charged performance for the halftime show is showing an extreme lack of creativity and ingenuity.

Right after the halftime show, the camera went to the panel of commentators and at least two of them were completely speechless and appeared as upset as we were.

That's my complaint and according to how the NLF handles the issue I and my sphere of influence with be moving away from or towards the NFL.

I was embarassed by it too. I am a woman who was watching the 2020 Superbowl half time show. It was extremely explicit for a general viewing audience. The close ups of the performers private areas at a certain angle made it seem degrading to others watching it. I think that it was to the advantage of the performers, but not to the women watching it.

A family affair, I don't appreciate enjoying the yearly Super Bowl with small children and grandparents just to be shocked by blatant sexual behavior in dance numbers! There is sexy, and then there is porn. Thrusting a scantily clad crotch into the camera multiple times while touching yourself there is not family entertainment! I know a lot of people say it wasn't that bad, but they don't have children and elderly watching it with them! Just as a woman I was appalled. Shake your hips, give suggestive "come hither" looks - fine. But Save this crap for cable and allow parental control! Shame on the NFL!

We would like to ask the NFL to please select a family friendly alternative to the type of repulsive show that was aired on this year's Super Bowl half time show. Most of America was ready to walk away, and had given up on the NFL, due to their lack of ethics concerning their stance in allowing players to disrespect America's flag. Those of us who chose to watch the Super Bowl were only watching for Patrick Mahomes; his wholesome public persona is what attracts families. He saved the NFL from disaster. But it is a shame that we have to turn the channel during the halftime show, or else be subjected to pornography. If the NFL wishes to redeem itself, riding on the tails of someone who is as worthy of respect as Mahomes, then please follow his lead and show yourselves to be more wholesome and family-friendly.
I have included a screenshot from my FB with ideas of shows Americans would actually like to see. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Kim Kohler

The Super Bowl Half-Time show was totally inappropriate and trashy. It was degrading to ALL women and a disgrace to Americans. What happened to real talent performing at these kind of shows? JLO and Shakira are not talented and are not family friendly performers. Why does a show that is supposedly "family friendly" promote the objectification of women? NFL and Fox should be ashamed of themselves.

We were appalled at the oversexed halftime show especially by Jennifer Lopez. To see those little girls on the stage with her was extremely in poor taste. In an age when women are finally coming out about how they have been preyed upon by sexually perverts and then we see this performance that simply exploited the female body. It is no wonder the boys and men are getting mixed signals. What kind of mixed messages are we sending out there. Just because the Hollywood scene doesn't care about protecting the innocence of their children does not mean that main-stream America feels the same. We would think that the NFL would want to respect the men and women of this great country with a decent family oriented half-time entertainment.

The halftime show, featuring simulated sex acts, a stripper pole, and women dressed in little more than lingerie was obscene. It was unsuitable for families with children, degrading to women as anything other than sex objects, and offensive to my husband and me. The NFL has a rocky history regarding how men treat women. The fact that every man involved in both the game and show was fully clothed speaks further to this issue. Please, stop!

I am a Latina woman. I am shocked and appalled by the scape goating that is happening about the raunchy and over sexualized performance of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Bending over, half naked, and see thru outfits are not a sign of empowering woman. Not Latina women, at least. Please consider your audience in the future prior to selecting porn for show. This is the most degrading form of presenting or representing ANY woman. I hope you are fined for the disgusting show that was produced and shown to minors without a parents consent. Last time I watch anything NFL

The Super Bowl is supposed to be considered family entertainment. The entertainment shown at halftime certainly was not! It reminded me a lot of something you would come across in a stip tease club! Women thrusting their hips in a suggestive, sexual way and pole dancing is not acceptable. Shame on the NFL for promoting this! It's soft porn and it promotes sexual bondage!
Shame, shame, shame!

I wish the Super Bowl was still a family-friendly, "have a party" type event. Now we have to worry about what young children will be exposed to while watching—not to mention that I don't want see that kind of act either. The halftime show was less than classy—you have to be 18-21 to get into most strip clubs but you just brought one to our living room. Clean up the act or we'll just check the score afterwards.

My family, friends, coworkers, clients, and myself are extremely shocked and saddened by the halftime show put on by the nfl for the 2020 super bowl. It seems like the nfl pandering to a part of the world's population that has no morals.in this moment in time where the world is fighting against the human trafficking and abuse of women and children the nfl chooses to promote the women and children and sex objects. The nfl chose to show the world that they value profit over human rights. The nfl's viewership is not only the adult population of the world. I have personally seen how the nfl's marketing team is involving themselves in youth sports to indoctrinate future viewership. The usa was founded on morals. The nfl used to stand for morality, but now the nfl stands for profit over morality.in my circle of family, friends, and clients the nfl has lost our viewership. No porn in the nfl

The half time show for the super bowl was a soft porn promoting women and children as sex objects. Scantily clad women doing sexually explicit dancing is inappropriate and unacceptable! This kind of performance does not belong on prime time television! It promotes exploitation of women and children to sex trafficking. The NFL should apologize and donate to organizations that fight against sex exploitation.

I find it hard to believe that you considered the action on the stage at half-time Sunday to be entertainment. The Super Bowl (as is any NFL game) should be a source of family fun. This year's act joins those of the last few years that demeans women as an object for men's pleasure. What a terrible thing to show our young people!
You can be sure that my family will not be watching it in the future. I also intend to get a list of the advertisers and let them know why I won't be patronizing them.

The halftime show and drag queen ads were horrific and anything but family friendly. I will no longer watch superbowl unless there is a good faith effort to show less sexualized halftime shows and clean up the crotch grabbing bits by these supposedly harrassed "Me too" singers and actresses. It is especially maddening that you could not at least add some balance to the sleaze and show the "Faces of abortion" ad. CLEAN IT UP!

My family enjoys watching the Super Bowl, but we were very disappointed by the over-sexualized Halftime Show this year (and the past few years). It was degrading and objectifying of women and inappropriate for children. I hope you reconsider future shows so that they will be appropriate for viewers of all ages. I look forward to once again being able to enjoy the Super Bowl Halftime Show with my family.
