9. I am sympathetic, but...

Monday

I will likely watch the Bears the few times this year they appear on CBS. I do not purchase anything in ads which accompany football games, nor am I connected to Neilsen or any ratings service, so whether I watch or not doesn't affect anyone.

But I don't watch anything else on CBS, and I don't subscribe to Paramount. So there's that.

Look, I am all in with opposing the corporate overlords who seek to dominate us. But this is football we're talking about! Football is my soma. I pass on most of the circuses but I do love football.

I understand this may make me (even more) unpopular. I'm just being truthful. I am not giving up football because there are evil people taking over my country (okay, there have always been such, but now it looks like they're winning). I don't see how giving up football will help.
