What punishment would make you boycott the NFL for good?

At what point would you be so disgusted with the NFL that you refuse to watch anymore?

Brady or BB suspended for game

Wrong question
The issue is did BB or TFB do or order be done something with the balls after they were inspected.
If they did, I'm OK with punishment although those cited seem excessive.
Good thing for Aaron Rogers he isn't our opponent.

Unless the NFL digs up some salacious video you can put me down for any punishment including a stern talking to will end my association.

You needed check boxes not radio buttons so I could select them all.

I'm tired of the NFL. Before this incident, I felt their handling of the domestic violence & player safety stuff was such I thought they had 10 years of relevancy left before going the way of the NBA. I'll probably bow out once Brady/Belichick retire. It's a beautiful sport, but the league is ****, and there are things I am more interested in in my life. I spend too much time on this ******** as it is.

If they raped everyone on the team with a properly inflated football or something.

Otherwise, I'm a realist- I've watched this game for 29 ****ing years I might be salty for a decade but I'll watch it.

In fact, if they did really stick it to us I'd probably be more hyped to watch to see the Pats stick it to the rest of the NFL.

I would prefer to see the facts of the investigation before forming an opinion. If it's proven that they actually were actively involved in this, I don't see anything wrong with the three scenarios posed above. I would not like to be lied to by the QB/coach that I have followed obsessively and rooted for for all these years. I'd probably just be done with football at that point... it would be so disappointing.

If nothing is proven, the damage is already done by the media after the sting operation by the NFL that could have been easily avoided by a phone call well before the game and right after the allegations. I am probably done with the NFL after BB/Brady retire anyway. The NFL has clearly shown that they don't care about Patriots fans in trampling the organization. To them, we are just collateral damage.

Any. If no evidence.

That and the rule changes have made games almost unwatchable.

The 2007 loss was painful enough that I quit watching for a year. I stopped watching again when NE was jobbed of a victory over the Colts in 2009 due to a BS DPI call and marking Faulk over a yard short. Same for when the replacements massaged a 40-17 win into a 31-30 loss to Baltimore and once again when the league manufactured a rule and then doctored the rule book to pretend NE's 2013 loss to NY was legit.

I'd like to say if they punish them at all I'd consider walking away, but apparently I'm incorrigible when it comes to football.

If Seattle mysteriously gets every penalty call...if on a bunch of 3d and longs there's illegal contact, dpi, etc., that will be enough for me. It certainly looks like the league has nothing on the Pats. but 90% of the country thinks the Patas cheated to get to the SB...think the NFL wants perceived "cheaters" to win the SB?

Poll need an entry for "Any".

Anything substantially more than a 25k fine and I'm done with with the NFL. As of this week I'm done with espn, and the other hater sites and networks.

I'll agree with this, with the caveat that they haven't found any actual evidence of wrong doing. If they want to throw a bogus fine out there under some vague rule saying they're responsible for the conditions of the ball, that's fine, whatever. I don't agree, but it's the NFL, they're stupid when it comes to discipline. But if anything competitively is altered (loss of draft capital or players) without solid evidence? Good bye until that stooge is out of office.

You need to add more options. Anything beyond the previously establish memo that the panthers and vikings recieved would make me quit the nfl

every single thing you listed.

This league has been rotting for years. Right now, it's downright putrid.

I will boycott the NFL is there's ANY punishment meted to the TFB or BB (in the absence of hard evidence of any culpability on their behalves).

Even if there's no punishment, I will boycott the NFL on the day TFB quits. And until then, I will not spend a dime on NFL merchandise, won't even go to Gillette.

F*** the NFL.

As much of a bummer this all is, I have to say this Super Bowl is going to be so entertaining. Can't imagine there has been a better matchup, better storylines than this game.

And if the Pats win? Break out your popcorn and be ready for a melt down. That would be fun.
