"With politics in sports I am out. Right now I am only watching the PGA."

The PGA has gotten as bad as the others. All the tournaments have corporate sponsors, and the interviews with their representatives and CEOs - and their TV ads - are riddled with wokeness.

Who gives a rat’s rear-end? Since Covid, I have watched a total of about 12 hours of sports...and that was a good week or so for me before Covid. Haven’t missed it...been hanging out more with my family and discovering music I never knew about on YouTube and other places.

My daughter plays college lacrosse, and I would miss seeing that, but I could not care less about the rest.

OK I’m still failing to see the downside to both scenarios.

“These Kids” have already destroyed a huge chunk of their market share for their product and will soon be reaping smaller salaries as a result. I for one welcome them to take off as much time as they want.

““If Trump wins, or if he refuses to concede, I’m telling you right now: There won’t be any sports for a month,” he said. “Maybe more.””

This will be just another liberal broken promise.

Well, there is currently a labor shortage in the fast food industry.

If college athletes don’t play sports, will they go to class?

“discovering music I never knew about on YouTube and other places”

I discovered Andre Rieu just before the scamdemic. Bought tickets to see him in Las Vegas, then the concert was cancelled.

I guess I’m about the only person who never heard of him.
