Sports, especially professional sports, are in big trouble. People have found other things to do.

It tells me the NBA is under new management and they’re showing us their new company’s logo, mission statement/slogan and implicit commands.

We all best Kneel before The Beast in submission or be shunned and banished.

For now, that is ...

If you stay on a road long enough, you’ll get to where it goes.

If memory serves, it seems like with these types, if/when you don’t follow orders, eventually they make you kneel, then they tie your hands behind your back and cut your head off your shoulders ... while you’re still using it!

Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Hey, how about a new To Do list for the 2nd half of 2020?

1. Up off your knees!
(You only kneel before God and men take a knee to propose marriage. That’s it.)

2. Update your inner GPS ASAP(!) and get back on course!

Then, maybe, sports can be fun again.

Isn’t that why you all are given so much freaking fortune and fame in the first place?!?!?

Get back to basics and get back on course for a happier 2020 and a better 2021.

My apologies to men such as yourself who are good fathers, who do spend time with their kids and who do not watch sports excessively. I was not so lucky to have a Dad like you.

I speak from my own experience, and I didn’t not mean for it to refer to all men.

I’m not a prick, btw. I’m a woman.

Good for you!

I just contacted my internet, telephone ,cable ,TV provider, Xfinity(Comcast) and told them I wanted to stop any package that gives me MLB-NFL-Basketball.

Got a new package and saved about $50/Month.

A year ago, they would have just grinned and said no.

Excellent diagnosis. Wait until you have 1-3 years of no pro jock bs on your tv.

“I think the other issue is that people have had a 7 month withdrawal from sports and have found other things to do. Sports had become a relaxing drug to many and that spell has been broken. It may never come back with or without BLM.”

We have a few adult male relatives from 50 something to 20 something and a lot of female good jockettes, who are basically still going through withdrawals from pro sports and soon college sports.

They couldn’t believe it, when we pulled the plug on ABCNNBCBS and any pro sport tv program last July.

This year we pulled the plug on Sling Blue due to the Giants and their tv BLM BS!

I informed Sling Blue that we will not be watching any BLM bs posing as baseball.

They are showing their contempt for the country that has made them multi-millionaires with lots of friends even though they contribute nothing more than some entertainment.

Amen! “Why stop at sports? We need to stop funding cable tv period. Channels in the basic bundle get a cable subscriber fee. CNN makes half its revenue from cable subscriber fees.”

Cut them all off at the knees.

We cut our cable 3 years ago in July. Besides saving a ton of money, we are not insulted 24/7 with the wonders of Gaydom, the daily anti Trump bs posing as fake news and other liberal bs 24/7 on tvs we bought and via our paid electricity.

My wife has re read most of her good books at home and is using Kindle Unlimited to its maximum. I have two new books that I can hold, to read and a lot on Kindle unlimited.

At this moment before dinner, at 6:26 pm, our tv is not on.

We may watch some Brit or American, non liberal bs tv, or not this evening. There will be zero Gay BS and zero pro sports live, replayed or discussed. There will be zero fake news at any time.

I have spent a lot of time getting my genealogy up to date.

My wife has called all of her list of church people to see if they need anything and a few other personal friends and relatives. Everyone is/was okay!

I have texted or emailed my relatives and friends. All are still alive and dealing with the Covid 19 bs.

Dealing with the bs from Blmers in pro and college sports is a big issue with my list of friends and political buddies.

More and more are cutting their cables and not paying to be insulted.

If someone gave my a pair of Nike shoes I’d set them on fire.

“I’m not a prick, btw. I’m a woman.”

Thanks for the apology and owning your statement. That shows me that you have good character and personal integrity.

Now I own you an apology for calling you a name. That was totally not appropriate on my part and I’m sorry.

I wish your father had take the time to appreciate his daughter more. She deserves it.

I wish he had too. He died an earlier death. He was too busy with baseball, football, and also women.

I just feel sorta and the whole let’s go out to the bar to sit and suck up beers while we watch the game has been a huge waste of the time men could have been doing other things, as well as making themselves more educated and informed about politics as well. I feel it has a lot to do with the breakdown of the family which is at the root of a lot of our ills. I also feel a lot of money is spent on it, money that could be saved, invested in other things.

Who wants to watch folks play in what is effectively a TV studio with no fans?!?
It literally looks like studio rasslin back in the NWA days on WTBS back into the 80s.

"Hey now! We worked our asses off compared to
today's pussyhat 'sports entertainers'. Whooooooo!"

There is nothing you say that is wrong.

I was res born but was lucky enough to have a family who believe in hard work, obeying the laws, being responsible for yourself and the children you bring into this world.

Mostly my family gave me the knowledge that if you wanted equality in this world you had to be equal and strive for your personal goals without wearing the anchor of “Victimisim” around you neck and keeping a big chip on your shoulder.
