I think those cardboard cutout people in the stands says it all.
They’re going to be more dull and boring plus all the political garbage. Don’t need to spend a nice sunny day inside watching some over paid whining snowflakes complain about nonsensical stuff.
There’s an endless supply of complete games from the past on YouTube.
My current plan this fall is to watch every game from the Green Bay Packers 1996 Super Bowl run.
The game was better then anyway.
Professional Sports seems fake, just like the Democrat Party Media.
If Colin Kaperneck had been good enough to land a starting job - would we still be enjoying a politics free NFL today?
If Fidel Castro had shown a Big League Fastball when he got a pitching tryout for the Washington Senators - would Cuba be free today?
“Mookie should be glad he signed his life-altering deal – made possible by the fact that he lives in the greatest nation ever conceived by mankind – when he did, because the money machine that made that payout possible is probably about to take a very big hit.”
I think this is exactly right.
Sports betting just became legal in Colorado, and now the commercials for all the sports betting sites are WAY worse than the Bloomberg for President commercials were.
Let me just throw out that sports is largely Conservative fun.
The Left has taken it over and trashed it.
It’s a good chunk of the economy that is getting trashed with it.
Anyone who doesn’t think the Left is making this happen is an idiot.
For years, we paid no attention to the race of the player. We wanted the team to win, and didn’t care about the ethnicity of the player.
All changed now. The team management has made race the most important consideration, with hatred for Whites coming in first place.
I can find better things to do with my time than watch a bunch of morons who hate America chasing a ball.
It’s fake community. I used to recommend reading The North Dallas Forty to know what you were watching. That was about a bygone era from 50 years ago. It’s so much worse now. Meanwhile, thousands of obese, old, white men can’t wait to wear another man’s name across their backs and engage in the worship of drugged up millionaires who despise them.
I had thought the same thing about MLB’s leftist overlords ruining baseball. The democrats should have thought this through a little better. “bread and circuses” are about all the democrats can offer honest law abiding citizens. The left should have left the distraction alone rather than destroying it and further alienating most of the country.
Hi, Eyes. :)
I have a couple of things to say to you. First, you sound just like my father. He was a rabid sports fan. As children, my sister and I went to every Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, White Sox, and Cubs games.
One time, he took my mother to a Milwaukee Brewers game. My mom turned to him and said, “Jamie! It’s our honeymoon! Why are we at a baseball game?!” He answered, “You knew who you were marrying when you met me.” LOL!
Saturday was college football at his alma mater, Northwestern. Sunday, it was Soldier Field for the Bears. Didn’t even matter how cold and snowy and windy it was. We just bundled up. To this day, that buzzing noise that sounds after the end of a quarter during a basketball game, or what have you, still makes me sleepy.
And second, as for Fauci:
“we’ll see if Anthony Fauci can’t kill that, too.”
Of COURSE he will. He is nothing if not dedicated to killing any form of fun or happiness or freedom in the U.S. There is a related thread here; I said that Dr. Fauci will be remembered as the author of this scourge. The suicides, murders, domestic and child abuse, loneliness, and depression, it’s all on his shoulders. Hope he enjoys Hell.
At some point -- probably as far back as the early 1970s in the NFL -- the corporate advertisers became more important "customers" for the pro sports leagues than the fans who paid for the tickets.
Once that happened, the sports league was effectively beholden to advertisers who market their products to mildly retarded people.
In recent years I’ve classified spectator sports as bread and circuses.
Would you want your children or grandchildren to try to emulate these athletes and coaches? Think about it. All children learn by example. . . unfortunately often they can’t make the distinction between a good example and a bad one.
Maybe all is not lost.
The younger generation do not care about sports at all.
I have 4 young men in my family, ages 20 to 33. NONE of them watch sports, EVER! Instead it’s all Xbox and PlayStation.
The sports business is dying. They just don’t know it yet.
I’ve watched the Premier League without fans. It’s painful.
My entire life I’ve meticulously followed my NFL home team. I am done.
The NFL, NBA, and MLB want to pander to the Marxists, then let the Marxists support them. Not me.
The only interest that I have left in sports will be subsequent CBA’s after their viewership and ad revenues are in the ditch. Hopefully, this is the end of 7-9 figure contacts. I think 6 figure contacts is plenty. Hope it was worth it, bigots.
