No, of course. It's all personal opinion, and I'm not trying to say that individual boycot
are wrong, just that it's not the decision I'd make. It's a more principled position than I hold, and could only be to your credit.
As to lower ratings leading to lower as revenues leading to hopefully better behaviour in the future - maybe, but I wouldn't particularly bet on it.
Mind you, I wouldn't particularly bet on anything else actually making a difference. The FA are so utterly craven that it'd take a monumental effort for them to even consider for a moment boycotting the competition. Even so.
