If NFL Players can boycott the American Flag by sitting out the National Anthem, maybe we can boycott the NFL?
First the Seattle Seahawks consider sitting out the playing of the Star Spangled Banner (the entire team, mind you).

Then the Broncos’ Brandon Marshall became the latest player to “take a knee” during the national anthem at the first regular season game:

We will have to see what kind of traction such a “boycott” will have, but rest assured, any boycott – and subsequent drop in television ratings, is in direct proportion to the increasing visibility any “protest” of the National Anthem gets.
