Sorry but there is a huge market of Americans that are enthralled by sports. They are willing to spend their money directly on tickets or their time gazing intently at TV’s, computers or phones watching these spectacles and hence allow themselves to be exploited by advertisers. The majority of the athletes are African-Americans who have a perspective and often values that are radically different than prior generations of athletes. Commercial media outlets must conform and patronize the new reality that sports have become. Political posturing and commentators like this racist Hill are now part of the package. Otherwise they will distance themselves from the product made by those athletes that draws their audience and makes them money. Nothing substantial will change.

Sounds good. But the majority of fans aren't black activists. Nor are the owners. And they pay the bills. Try running a sports league or network that appeals only to the black lives matter demo. You will go bankrupt real quick.
