When you have to resort to scantily clad women doing a sexual bump with each other to attract an audience, you know you are in trouble anyway. There is no music out there today, so what the heck is there to celebrate? I’m stuck in the 60s-70s music. You know, the music in most of the commercials today, and the decades when all the good songs were written.

Ahhh yes... boycotting professional sports because precious feelings were hurt. Then celebrating lower ratings (less profit, less jobs) The original snowflake cancel culture way of life. 

All jokes aside, it's not a boycott.  A boycott is a publicized effort to withhold business to make the company change its behaviors.  Nobody is asking the NFL (or any other league) to do anything.  They've just decided to stop watching/attending... I don't think a subtle move to stop broadcasting the anthem is going to fix anything.   Nobody cares if the NBA makes changes....nobody is asking them to.   People are just finished with them.  Sports were a way to escape the negativity that exists in our world... up until the decision was made to politicize sports.  With that and the changes in our viewing habits/attention spans, I think those numbers won't be coming back.  You see the same thing with awards shows like the Oscars.  When it became less about the performances and more about actors preaching their views during acceptance speeches and awards given based on skin color, people just tuned out.  Good luck getting them back.

No, it's not... when the Rainbow Push Coalition calls on everybody to boycott Texaco until they get more people of color into upper management, you have a boycott.  

When an unorganized group of people say, "screw those guys, I'm just going to go work in the yard instead" and ask for nothing in return, it's just a massive migration away from that type of entertainment.

A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary and intentional abstention from using, buying, or dealing with a person, organization, or country as an expression of protest, usually for moral, social, political, or environmental reasons.

Right... a boycott is a form of a protest.  It's done to draw attention, and to force a change.

Have you noticed that nobody is like "Hey!  Let's all quit watching football and write the team owners and let them know that we won't come back until they force everybody to stand for the anthem!"  Because that would be a boycott.

Instead you just have a bunch of people saying... "you know, I watch sports to get away from it all... I guess I'm done watching those clowns."  That's not a boycott.

Where is it said that you have to write team owners and make demands? Did you make that up yourself or do I need to read up on my boycott manual? Geez, some people.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
