National Football League [NFL]
reviews and complaints

A long time fan of the NFL I will not be going to or watching games anymore! These spoiled athletes making millions of dollars disrespecting our flag and anthem is hard to fathom. Where else besides this great country could they make that kind of money for what they do? All our dead soldiers are turning in their graves.

As if there weren't already enough reasons to not watch the nfl, the covid-19 prohibition (fines) for players who attend religious services is the final nail in the coffin. It's perfectly fine for a player to "protest" with 1000 strangers all chanting and yelling, mostly not wearing masks and certainly not social distancing, but players can be fine for attending church? I started watching the nfl before the super bowl was even a thing. Now, the sickening display of virtue signaling by the nfl is more than I can accept. Please accept my family's resignation from the nfl viewership.

As a 40 year fan of the dallas cowboys and a military veteran, I am disappointed and heartbroken that the league chose to spit in my face by playing a "black anthem" over the national anthem. I have canceled my nfl season pass on direct tv, I have canceled the fantasy football league I have ran for 18 years, I will not be purchasing madden and I will choose not to watch any football this season. This is tough as football has been a very important part of my life for a long time.

I have been a true blue Patriots fan. I am disgusted with the decision to play a "black" national anthem nevermind before the "United States" anthem. Who are the racists here? We live in the "United States". There is only 1 anthem for this country. If people don't like this country, they are free to go to another county where you won't be so free to speak out. Nevermind the point that we don't get to see the anthem on the mainstream media stations. You be they'll play it now to pacify the BLACK LIVES MATTER organization. I thought all lives matter! People need to research this organization to see who's running it and what they stand for. I do not plan to watch the NFL. I will save a ton of money by not buying any NFL merchandise. As a matter of fact, I may sell everything I bought! Maybe a loss of money will be a another wakeup call for the NFL. Or better yet, try bring Kaepernick back again!

I have been a nfl supporter my entire life, I live and breath dallas cowboys, the fact that you are going to play a black national anthem is the most raciest thing i've ever herd. The national anthem is not a white anthem it's not a black anthem, it's for everyone! Justice for all. I'm so ashamed of you! And to play it before the national anthem gfys im done with your [censored] I hope your season and trust me it will goes to [censored] and your ratings fall threw the floor

See ya never.

I don't know who's idea it was to play a National Black Anthem before NFL games, or how much money they received for doing this, but it is purely racist and only serves to divide this country. We need to come together as county and the decision to play this song is not helping. We have one National Anthem and it's for everyone, no matter who we are, no matter what our race or religion is, it's for everyone. If the NFL played a 'White National Anthem' people would be screaming that it's racist and they would be right. Playing a Black National Anthem is just as racist. Thank you NFL, you've proved how racist you are. Shame on you.
I respectfully ask that you do not play this song before NFL games. If you do, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

Respectfully,
Debbie Mason

Once again you have shown the americans that have supported you over the years that you have no balls and continue to bow down to special interests and the like!
I will no longer watch any nfl games and my children have said the same thing. I am a veteran, my son is a veteran and my father is a veteran and we will not stand for you playing any 'black lives matters" song, especially before the american national anthem!
That statement, black lives matter, alone is racist!

You have lost hundreds of thousands more viewers, so keep it up comrades!
I will not be watching any nfl games until this kind of crap stops.

The decision to play the so called Black National anthem is a misguided kneejerk reaction by the league. Every nationality, race, religion and creed should be recognized for their contribution to this nation. Yet will we play an anthem to all who have contributed or been grieved in some way?
I am not a racist now nor have I ever been. However I vehemently do not agree with a decision that dilutes this country's national anthem.
I will not be watching any NFL games until this ceases.

There is only one National Anthem and only that one should be played at all games. My family has had season tickets we've shared since the mid 1960's and we are ready to turn them back in due to your continual pandering to anyone who complains about anything. Thewe overpaid professional entertainers you've allowed to them to morph into need to man up and act like the AMERICANS that they are and respect our flag and National Anthem by standing with their hand over their hearts and being thankful for where they are!

I don't watch NFL to see political gestures, grandstanding, or anything other than players engaged in playing the game of Foootball.

If the NFL allows political gestures such as kneeling, disrepecting the flag, or any other political gesture, I will not watch the NFL.

Moreover I will boycott the NFL and I will not purchase, endorse, support, or in any way use the services of NFL sponsors or advertisers.

I will actively engage in asking others to join my boycott of the NFL and any NFL sponsor. In my opinion NFL is ruining the spirit and intent of football by allowing this political BS.

Lifelong NFL watcher.

America is a Nation of people regardless of color or ethnicity, Black/White or Brown. That is the premise of America. Developing any "Nation" based on skin COLOR is Racist, plain and simple. Why don't you play the Indian Nation, National Anthem or LBGT National Anthem or the Latino National Anthem? There is also a Anglo-Saxon Nation Anthem too? Playing anything other than and only "American" National Anthem for ANY specific organization that supports racism based on "skin color" makes your organization racist by definition.

If you play any anthem other than our national anthem at a US stadium then, I will boycott watching ALL of the NFL games for the rest of my life plus I'll never pay a dime for a ticket or merchandise from an organization that supports your reverse racist views.

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!
