With all the negativity right now in the NFL, is there ever a point where you would quit watching?

If you answered yes, then I would ask you what that point actually was.

If you answered no, then, in my eyes, you're telling the NFL not to worry about cleaning up their act.

I know there are rotten tomatoes in any organization, but when players can be convicted of domestic abuse and still playing this weekend (Greg Hardy), without his team or the commissioner doing anything about it because he isn't a name everyone knows, it makes me sick.

No...it's entertainment and MOST of the players are not bad people (or hide it well).

CPT (Join to see), in your analysis, people shouldn't join/support the military because they're all a bunch of drunken rapists. (ASAP and SHARP are highlighted programs)

The whole organization cannot completely control its members...there has to be some personal responsibility. Make a stupid decision and you're no longer welcomed on the Team (or in the organization).

The team and league has until 11:30 to sit Greg Hardy...unfortunately, there is no consistency with actions.

Also, the ONLY reason Greg Hardy is allowed to play and Ray Rice cannot is video evidence. In my opinion, Greg Hardy was much more malicious in his actions than Ray Rice was (and Ray Rice was NOT on my fantasy team).

SGM Matthew Quick made my point exactly. Resign your commission now if you feel this way. There are some egregious examples in the Army Officer Corps. It doesn't mean no one cares about the problem. It doesn't mean that the Army as an organization condones this stuff. Like the NFL, they are struggling to find a way to deal with the problems in a consistent fashion. Just like how individual units in the Army need to do a better job, team owners and GMs should be taking action and not standing by waiting for the league to force rulings on them.

I haven't watched in well over 15 years. It was a ritual for my Son and I to spend every Sunday and Monday night in front of the TV. One Friday and Saturday night, we watched Bull Riding. Guys climbing on 1 ton+ bulls and riding with broken bones, torn ligaments and busted faces. That Sunday we settled in to watch Minn. Vikings play and there on the sideline was the over rated POS Randy Moss, jaw jacking and joking in street clothes! Millions of dollars a year! Poor little guy had Turf Toe! I gathered my beer, chips and dip and never watched another primadona game again! I stick with PBR and WVU football only. So, all this crap going on in the NFL is useless fluff to me.

Ok, I buried 3 of my best Friends in Two Weeks. I am Done Forever with the NFL! I don't give a Damn What their Commissioner "tells them" THEY DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO BE RESPECTED BY ANY VETERAN! I will continue to BOYCOTT the NFL until they put ME in the Ground and if it were possible even AFTER THAT!
