Yup. Under my beard and both sides of my face.

Beard = good
Neckbeard = bad

I just left a response to Gillette as well. Go to their website, scroll to the bottom under contact us, and use the email function. You can leave a message to them in the body of the response.

Well worth your time.

Hmmm, good catch. I suppose the only way around that is if it's someone you REALLY know well and know their intentions.

Another gray area: they have raffles for Pats tickets at my work. Would winning tickets (either from workplace or elsewhere) count as a way to attend a game without giving any money to Kraft?

You know, I think you'd be hard pressed to get a company to stop buying blocks of tickets to use for stuff. Because most of the tops of those companies are in the same boys' club with 'ol Krafty. So at that point if you feel like you can stomach the game, may as well use them? Or sell them or what have you. In the future those luxury boxes will still be full when the stands have long been empty.

I think we're all going to have to make up our own rules about how to proceed because our tolerance levels will be different. I just thought it was worth pointing out because if you really don't want to feed the machine, then you need to somehow verify the source of 3rd party tickets. (Others might find this extreme, which is fine too. I just know from my own business experience that most 3rd party sellers of anything are not truly one-off sales. Thought it was worth throwing out there.)

Filled out a form on Gillette's site letting them know that after 30 years I'm no longer a customer. Do the same if you have 5 minutes.

whats the link. would love to fill it out

I cancelled my subscription to NFL Ticket. The NFL can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. If I want to see a game there are plenty of ways to watch that the NFL does not get money from.

Great minds think alike. I called DirecTV this morning to cancel mine. I was polite, but let them know exactly why I was cancelling it. The fellow I spoke with said he's fielded multiple calls like that the past 2 days. He asked what had happened, since he wasn't a NFL fan, and I took 30 seconds to fill him in.

i filled out the form and i called gillete. they hung up on me after about 30 seconds or so. we should flood that place with non stop calls. heres the number

We should wear plain T-shirts to the game with hand drawn numbers on the front or back. Plain hats with hand drawn Patriots logos. That would be classic and would be a clear signal to Kraft we ain't buying his merchandise.

Just don't show up to the first game. I bet that will be noticed. then Krafty Bob will use that excuse that the local crowd is hostile to the team and move it to LA

It is also important to keep in mind that buying tickets from a 3rd party does not directly impact revenue for that game, many, many people that sell tickets are doing so on a somewhat regular basis. Meaning if we weren't buying them from the 3rd party, that party would not be buying them directly. So there is, unfortunately, no way around supporting the NFL/Kraft,etc. if you are attending a game. (It is possible if you're buying just from some guy, but you can't even know if some guy is really being honest about his ticket sale or not.)

Going to the game is a great place to protest. Wear white T-shirts or something. Boos. Chants. The games will be sold no matter what so might as well use it as venue for protesting. That will get national attention.

I know. My mom called me all excited that she bought my son a Patriots championship T-shirt. I did a face palm and had to tell her to please stop doing that.

I like the sentiment here. I can't get on board with the "sold no matter what" line of thinking because that's giving in a little too much for my liking. (It might be practically correct, but I tend to be an idealist about these things and hold out hope that enough people are really willing to make the stronger statement and not buy.)

If you're going to buy, though, you could do a lot worse than this suggestion.

I can't click like on your post because it's super sad that had to even go down. But good for you for standing by your decision with your family.

Completely understand that. My theory is that if protesting Pat fans don't show up other fans will and that hurts the guys on the team. Yes it will hurt Kraft but showing up with white T-shirts that have things like "traitor" "sell out" or hand drawn numbers representing a boycott on Patriot merchandise would still support the guys on the field and at the same time make a loud statement to Kraft.

That sucks pretty bad, but on the bright side you're giving your son a working example of how it's worth standing up for your values, even when it sucks and is inconvenient.

Hey, instead of Schick, try these guys. I've been using their products for over a year now and I'm sold on them. Great products, great price, great shave.

I've been using Gillette to shave for years. After listening to Kraft the other day, I went online and ordered some Harrys blades. Received them yesterday...and shaved this morning. They give a pretty good shave.

I'd rather walk around everyday with bits of toilet paper on my face than to support Kraft. What a piece of garbage!

I'm beyond pissed off.......and don't see it going away either. Would love to see Brady demand a trade.....and for BB to retire.
