I'd say yes. A boycott is simply a refusal to do something that is handed out to you. You can quite easily boycott a punishment. I had an animated discussion about this with my teacher!

What is it called when people refuse to buy or use a product?
A boycott is a refusal to buy goods as a punishment or protest. The word comes from Captain Charles Boycott, a land agent in Ireland who was subject to social ostracism organized by the irish Land League in 1880. He tried to evict several tenants, and in turn they and others in the town began shunning Boycott. His workers stopped working for him, local businessmen stopped trading with him and even the postman refused to deliver his mail.
