Sports was never a need. It was a nice-to-have. Now it’s no longer even that.
Jamele Hill never ceases to amaze. Just when I think that her articles cannot get any dumber, she outdoes herself. More unrestricted sports without the protests and less Jamele would make for a much better world.
The purpose of the cancel culture is to destroy all of our culture.
I haven’t watched a single sporting event in over a year. Maybe two years.
I now spend my spare time playing and building musical instruments, arranging music and watching old movies.
Life is good.
Another factor may be the location of stadiums. Both the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Twins have downtown Minneapolis stadiums. Downtown Minneapolis with the lack of policing has become a combat zone. Car jackings are especially rampant. COVID lockdowns as well as looting have decimated downtown sports bars and popular pre and post game eateries. Downtown is a waste land. I can’t imagine Vikings or Twins fans being too anxious to attend games when they stand a very good chance of being accosted, mugged or car jacked.
I could give a rats hind leg for over paid, inarticulate , criminally prone ‘’professional athletes’’.
What I’m pissed about is my high school age grandson can’t play hockey with the high school team. It’s been on hold all year.
