It makes me sick to see BLM carved into the pitcher’s mound when I watch a baseball game. What happened to just playing the game without making a statement?

If I wanted the political opinion of someone who is great at chasing a ball, I’d talk to my dog.

Who needs spectator sports anymore? They make the wrong people rich, bleed the taxpayers, and turn us into couch potatoes.

In order to really cut funding for TV sports, we’d all have to “cut the cord,” or “ditch the dish!”

The $100 - $200 you send AT&T, Cox Cable, Dish, Xfinity, Verizon, etc., etc. every month is divvied up among the networks. They have a guaranteed income every month.

Granted, their advertising revenues can and will be affected by our boycotts, but ESPN and the network sports contracts are not in any real danger in the short run.

In the long run, absent TV and in-house fans might make a difference.

I sure hope so!

These anti-American bastards need to be taught a lesson and shoveled into the coal bin of history!

When the NFL ratings tank, the BIG networks are going to be pissed.

You are still watching it aren't you?

Why should they care about your opinion then?

Obviously they can do anything they wish and you will still watch.

I fully agree with you, but they will still get the money for a few years.

ESPN gets the most of all the channels out of a cable subscription I believe like $8 a month.

You know pro sports could have been that next wave of ‘hero-professionals’ that could have carried the nation’s spirit as we focused on THEM instead of Covid, Antifa and riotous-looters, and watched the best of the best athletes in our nation.

Nope. More Kaperslack nonsense as the nation’s athletic organizations race toward their very woke-demise.

May it be quick.

Who the heck wants to watch a bunch of whiny millionaires lecturing us about racism?

Most of them are fairly big strong guys; there ARE places where you just cant get a backhoe or post hole digger into, but you still need to dig ditches and post holes.

Should be a good fit for their backs and lack of intellect.
