although they might lie about it. They're watching every week, flipping among sports channels, trying to get rich quick in fantasy football, betting on individual games, and generally doing what they've always done during the fall and winter.
People like me who just don't get the attraction aren't boycotting because we've never been interested.

I'm amazed by how much brouhaha is caused by the actions of a few players though.
