I quit pro ball sports a couple years ago and NASCAR about a month ago.
Agreed
NO SPORTS IN THIS HOUSE EVER!!!

I’ll never see an opening Super Bowl ceremnony like this one in 2005.
Where are we headed? Every celebrity or sports star has a victims attitude...or is it just attitude?
“BLM” is just as racist as the “KKK”
‘nuff said
BLM: Billionaire Lives Matter.
Good one. Slavemasters are WHITE PRIVILEGED. At least the SLAVES are very well-paid. They’ve gotta produce though. Hey, we’re all a commodity to a point...called a “unit of labor” by many HRs and owners. They like their lingo.
when they apply “Affirmative Action” to the NBA, NFL etc. then maybe I will watch/s
Blackmail, Looting, Mayhem only puts an exclamation point to it.
Hockeyfights.com has replaced the NHL for me. The essence of hockey without distractions like sportsmanship or skillful playing.
Drop the gloves and cut to the chase.
Pretty good bet that the faggot gestapo is behind that usurpation.
My interest level dropped 10 to 15 years ago. When the leagues started endorsing the homos it dropped even further maybe 5 years ago or so. This latest round is part of the ongoing kneeling thing isn’t changing much for me as I stopped watching games long ago. I still check scores and read recaps of games but that is about it. That is enough for me. I suppose I could stop doing that and not care completely and not know who the current champions are etc but I’m not there yet. Even so there would still be ongoing FR threads constantly telling us the state of affairs in sportsworld.
Ding, ding, ding.
Still gives me a chuckle as most haven’t a clue.
I went through a Jack-in-the-Box drive through today and the girl was wearing a BLM mask. I made sure to mention that in the survey.
Seeing the mask, I would have told her to take the order and cram it up her BLM loving ass.
There are lots of places to eat with out the danger of BLM endangering the food
I didn’t even notice they started the season.
Aubrey Huff, President Trump and Mike Dikta explain, why they and I will not be watching any pro sports this season.
Aubrey Huff reacts to San Francisco Giants players kneeling during anthem: ‘I’m Pro America’!
‘I’m proud to not be invited to the San Francisco Giants 10 year World Series reunion’
Huff also responded to a tweet sent out by the Giants.
“#All Lives Matter,” Huff wrote.

TRUMP READY FOR LIVE SPORTS BUT SAYS HE WON’T TUNE IN IF PLAYERS KNEEL DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM: ‘GAME IS OVER FOR ME’!

Mike Ditka said he wouldn’t change how he felt about this issue:,
“You don’t protest against the flag and you don’t protest against this country who’s given you the opportunities to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen,” Ditka told TMZ. “So, I don’t want to hear all the crap.”
PS: Kneeling is a particularly inappropriate and stupid way to protest the death of George Floyd.
While I support the idea of boycotts in principle, I think this is a defeatist approach.
It reminds me of the same reaction that Conservatives had when rock n roll music, which began in the American Heartland, and was a celebration of postwar prosperity and the emerging suburban youth culture (which the Commie folkies hated), started becoming too heavy and having too much hippie influence. Conservatives just walked away from rock n roll, and said “let the hippies have it”. Let’s not make the same mistake with the world of sports, which is also rooted in Conservative principles.
Wouldn’t it be a better idea for Conservative fans to show up to games, and after the anthem is played, to stay on their feet for a full 2 minutes applauding and cheering? It could be known as the 2 minutes of respect for our flag and country, by sports fans who refuse to just take their money and go home.
Sports is not some product that you can boycott, like a can of beans, it’s part of our culture and our history. Don’t burn your NFL memorabilia because of Kaepernick or Jemele Hill. Honor the memory of Unitas, Lombardi, Paul Brown, and Pop Warner. If friggin ANTIFA can make their voices heard for 60 straight days in downtown Portland, why shouldn’t patriots make their voices heard at sporting events?
I’m sorry, but in this case, boycotting is admitting defeat. Football only belongs to Kaepernick and Goodell if we allow it. Basketball only belongs to Lebron James and Adam Silver if we allow it. Instead of sitting home and hoping for bad TV ratings, we Conservative sports fans should be loud and proud.
That will piss off the Libs much more than a boycott. They hate it when we speak out, it’s why they hate Trump. Ideally, the Left hopes that we’ll just shut up and keep watching. Their 2nd choice is for us to boycott and for the leagues to remain solvent and not miss us. The last thing they want is for us to continue to be involved in patronizing pro sports and raise our voices just as loud as their voices.
I understand that the argument I’m making doesn’t apply to games where no fans are allowed to attend. And not watching these games on TV does send a message. But once fans are allowed back in the stadiums, we should show up and get in the faces of the kneelers in our own special way!
Yes. “Whoso falleth not down and worship shall...be cast into ...fiery furnace.”
“...we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou has set up.” Dan. 3
He’s showing the problem with his argument in his own statements. Athletes thanking God for their success is very much NOT keeping their beliefs off the field. And he clearly doesn’t realize how deliberately Jackie Robinson was selected to break the color barrier. From his skin tone (not too dark, don’t wanna scare the white folk), to his skill level (not too good, don’t wanna embarrass the white players), to his personality (not too loud, don’t want to accurately label the white who don’t want him there).
And it’s that last part that’s really all that changed. Players get to be loud now.
I ain’t boycotting. I like sports. And I like a country where people speak their mind. Whether I agree or not.
