I'm done watching professional sports!

[churchmouse]

I quit watching NFL when Colin Kaepernick took that first knee. I'm not much of a spectator of anything so it was a little easier than some to walk away.

There are people in this country (and on INGO) where watching sports is a big part of their life. They probably grew up watching them with their dad, then they watched with their friends and now they are watching with their children. It is a deeply seated tradition for them and as long as they get around to playing the game, they will overlook all the drama.

Just for the NFL alone, over 16 million people go to games. 70% of Americans say they are fans. A few of us on here and a few thousand around the country isn't going to impact professional sports one bit. It will take millions of fans walking away before they will consider what they are doing. And not just a million or so, but closer to 10 million would wake them up.

And that won't happen in America.

Ratings are down across the board. Depending on where you look I see 16 to 30 % and I am thinking the NBA is really taking one up the back side which makes the mouse smile very large. Very large indeed.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

This is America. If all lives doesn't matter, then no lives matter.

My ancestors fought for the Union to free slaves in the name of equality. I don't ask for reparations because that's the right thing to do. But if you insist on reparations, then I am likewise owed reparations for my ancestors contribution to freedom for those seeking relief from slavery and bigotry.

I never understood the allure of watching grown men running around playing kids games.

 

[Carmelbythecorn]

The one thing the plan-demic has taught me is that I do not need professional sports. Who’d a thunk?

"Grown men" isn't the term I'd reach for when describing a lot of athletes.

Posted this in the colts thread. I probably should have posted it here instead.
It's not just a game anymore. This is big money that has the power to change our society for good or bad.
I refuse to give any sports team my money or viewership if they disrespect my country, flag, veterans, police. Period.

And now with the BLM movement it is becoming deadly. They have blood on their hands. This is not a joke.

 

[HoughMade]

Bears!

 

[printcraft]

Bears!

Agreed!














Release bears into the stadiums while these asshats are playing.

I'd watch that!

 

[Hatin Since 87]

Id pay to see it.

My son is pissed at me because he asked if I wanted to watch the game with him and I replied, "meh."

WHAT!? Football is back and all you can say is "MEH?"

Ya. Meh.

 

[Trigger Time]

I'd love to watch that sport!

I've said it before, but I will say it again. Burn, loot, murder can take their slogan, cram it up their ass until it comes out their throat, and go straight to Hell.

Pittsburgh Steelers player Alejandro Villanueva replaces name on the back of his helmet with name of a veteran killed in Iraq. Good for him.

Good indeed. That's the type of people they should be honoring, not thugs and rapists.

Maybe not, The NBA ratings are down 40% when with the whole covid thing they should be up...

NBA just released a statement that next season they will not allow any political slogans at their games.


Too late. Still not watching.
