The point is not watching changes nothing, except maybe it reduces future rights fees the NFL receives. But I'm guessing the current agreement doesn't end anytime soon, so unless you're advocating for a permanent boycott of watching the NFL, stopping to watch for a few weeks or even one season is highly unlikely to make a real difference. It's purely symbolic. There are more direct ways to hurt American companies (I just cancelled two trips planned there which actually directly affects American businesses). Not watching NFL now only hurts the Canadian rights holders who won't be able to charge as much on commercials. The NFL has the cash from the agreements contractually locked in.

And considering the CFL a competitor is like saying the AHL is a competitor to the NHL. It's a secondary league that every single CFL player would abandon to go play in the NFL tomorrow. Including every Canadian player. Imagine thinking some Canadian player, who would earn more at the NFL league minimum than the CFL max salary, is gonna turn that down to say "#### Trump". Dare to dream, I guess.
