I am a die hard fan of only one team, but a rabid fan of the sport of football, in general. I used to be the kind of guy that would watch every game I possibly could.
1. Thursday Night Football
2. Sunday 1pm
3. Sunday 4pm
4. Sunday Night Football
5. Monday Night Football
6. Maybe one or two more on the DVR, depending on match ups
The moment I first witnessed one of these entitled, whiny, brats engage in their current level of douchebaggery, only to have the league let it slide, I decided that the NFL was not worth 15-20 hours of my time every week.
I can't bring myself to stop watching my team's games, but that one game per week is now the only game I watch. An 80%+ reduction in my viewership, along with the same reduction from people like me who I speak with regularly, is significant enough to have a real impact.
