If you could get enough people to participate, this would actually send a message. These corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars around this one event. If you could convince enough people not to watch and they lose money because of Republicans, powers that be will do the rest.
Hard pass - I always watch the Super Bowl.
I don’t care what your cause is, support it some other way.
Stick Dry January in someone’s ass as well, please.
Not as many people can afford to do a general strike. Start with organizing something like this first. Then use that momentum into a general strike. There's too much apathy abound.
I hear you. Frankly, IDGAF about sportsball, but this is going to require real, tangible direct action. Protesting a sporting event is as effective as tossing a paper plane at a tank.
Okay... realistically, how many people do you believe WILL boycott it?
You would be lucky if 2% does.
Look, everyone has to do something. I would love to see it all crash and burn myself. But we have to be smarter than this. Civil disobedience is more effective. Look at Serbia now.
You think that it is easier to organize more people to get up and out on the streets protesting and doing sit ins than it would be to turn off the TV?? I genuinely don't understand how.
Stop trying to find that feel moment, it time to start scaring the media and the rich with our numbers, Super Bowl viewership needs to low for democracy.
I have no problem muting ads. IF they allowed Philly broadcasters to be a SAP so we don't have to hear the Fox doofuses, even better. But Philly- whom FOTUS hates bc they stood up to him when they won their 1st SB- has another chance to beat the MAGAt-loving KC, so 🎶 Fly, 🦅🦅, Fly!! 🎶
What? My Eagles 🦅 are in it and Trump hates them because they chose not to visit him in the White House last time they won because they don’t agree with his policies and behavior. The Chiefs have Taylor Swift and they don’t like Trump either. I will stick with other boycotts. I need entertainment.
Maybe just skip Superbowl commercials. Turn off your TV during the commercials so the advertisers do not get the views. Too many 🍊 supporting corporations pay for those ads. They actively lobby against the people.
There are alternative ways to watch the SB that don't require you to be counted in the ratings at all. They also don't require you to give your money to the oligarchs. 🏴☠️
Absolutely. Learn to stream. Watch NFL for free. I'm never again paying for Sunday Ticket, RedZone, or subscribing to a streaming cable platform like YouTube TV to watch network games.
All shall be streamed for free. The NFL can eat shit.
Most football fans won't have a problem with that because we have to have practice for when Saudi Arabia hosts the World Cup. You know, football that's played with the feet.
I understand. if the white nationalists can use it for recruitment or propaganda they will. There is a big hooligan and neofascist problem at football matches in Russia. They have fight clubs.
I would normally agree of being tired, but they have the opportunity to do something that has never been done before. I want to see them accomplish it so I don’t have to worry about it ever again.
I mean, I'd boycott the SB if it was KC against anyone else, but Fly, Eagles Fly! FOTUS hates the Iggles from the first time they won. Even more reason to watch.
ugh. I wanna do this.. but the trend of women not going to work and not going shopping didn't work. I want to be part of a movement but idk if the SB is it..

Football sucks imo. Just a bunch of dudes grabbing each other.
What goal are you trying to achieve & will ultimately fail at achieving
That’s it.
Only Trump supporters want to boycott the Super Bowl because an African-American man can make history !!!
Go birds!

What do you think the corporations would do if you Republicans made them waste $20B??
How easy it is to organize that protest? The infrastructure from that alone would be worth it.
You would be lucky if 2% does.

is there a reason to abandon athletic entertainment?
To see multi millionaires play against other millionaires. While you drink a $35 beer.
This just isn't right
(ex. Set VPN to London and watch on ITV)

i might check out the halftime show, though

And then I’ll root against them next year.
I mean, the Olympics. But I don’t HATE the Swedish pole vaulting team or whatever
