Movement to Boycott Super Bowl 2018 Grows on Social Media

If you Google the words “boycott Super Bowl 2018” or “boycott Superbowl 52” you will get over 7 million hits. As our readers already know the Google algorithm favors liberal positions over those of ordinary Americans. However, on the first page of the Google search we found two Facebook pages.

The first is Boycott Superbowl 2018 – Home | Facebook. Those with a Facebook account may invite their friends to join in the Boycott of Superbowl 2018. The second link is NFL Boycott – 2018 Super Bowl – Facebook. On this page one pledges to not watch Superbowl 2018 on February 4th, 2018. This Facebook page states:

We will be not be watching or listening to NFL games during the Super Bowl in solidarity with veterans around the country, as football players have continued to disrespect the national anthem, the American flag, and everything our nation stands for.

Our guess is President Trump, Vice President Pence and their families will not be attending the Superbowl 2018 or watching it on television.

There’s even a short YouTube video posted by RandomTopicsWithHumor asking everyone to the boycott of Superbowl 2018:

What can this mean if the NFL loses a large portion of its Superbowl LII audience? Well according to a Sports Illustrated article titled “Super Bowl commercials: How much does a spot cost in 2017?” it could cost the NFL millions in advertising revenue because of a boycott. The Sports Illustrated article notes:

The Super Bowl’s commercials have become nearly as big a draw as the game itself. According to Prosper Insights and Analytics, 17.7% of adults say that advertisements are the most important part of the event. The TV broadcast presents a golden opportunity for marketers to reach more than a hundred million Americans (114 million tuned in last year), and such an opportunity does not come cheap.

According to Variety, Fox is charging marketers anywhere between $5 million and $5.5 million for a 30-second ad this year. This cost does not depend on the two teams that actually take the field on Feb. 5 at NRG Stadium in Houston—Fox sold 90% of its commercial slots by December, before the Patriots or Falcons had reached the Super Bowl.

What would happen if that 17.7% of adults who only watch the game for the ads decided not to watch the ads because of the “taking a knee” controversy in 2018? What would happen if 10% to 20% of those who watch the game did the same thing – Boycott Superbowl 2018?

It would be a disaster for the NFL and their advertisers.

THINGS TO DO INSTEAD OF WATCHING SUPERBOWL LII:

  • Have a date night with your wife and family.
  • Visit with friends and play board games.
  • Spend the time with family.
  • Pray for our President and the nation.
  • Go to bed early.

    I have watched the super bowl for the last 40 years but Will Not watch it this year. I am a Army combat veteran and have lost friends like other veterans. Every time these little babies in the nfl don’t stand for the national anthem they disrespect all the military who have given their lives serving this country.

    I agree 100%. The NFL are a bunch of thugs and niggers. Paid way to much for what they do and complain about. I’m hoping there is a hacker out there that can hack the broadcast and shut it down. My father serviced 2 tours in Vietnam and I attempted to join the military but couldn’t pass the physical. Veterans are the reason we have our freedoms and I’ll back all vets and honor the flag at all times. Sorry for the N word but they are not African Americans they are acting as they are. I’ve shut off my TV to NFL and rich liberals in Southern CA. I’m in CA and I’m waiting for the San Andres Fault to level these assholes. Go Trump he rocks.

    We have watched the NFL and superbowl for 40 years plus. Our family has not watched ONE game and we will completely boycott the NFL forever. The players are OVERPAID anti American thugs.

    My husband died for this nation while fighting overseas in the middle east. He gave his last breath to people like these players. This are pissing on his memory and should be FIRED.

    What a disgrace these privileged and racist players have become with a life others can only DREAM of.

    I do not watch football and have not for years. Most professional sports are being classified in the same manor.

    The Grammys as well as all the other entertainment stage monkeys who read a script as a way of life are being placed in the same perspective.
