Sports media cheers on the canceling of the very events they cover in order to earn their paychecks.

Just can’t fix that kind of stupid.

White America could cripple pro sports if they chose to do so. Just saying ...

These sports “professionals” now start a game by effectively laying down our flag and taking an open poo on it, then say their effort was a protest against whites for blacks, for which on the field are black.

I know it is instead our National Anthem and the flag is raised, but the butt turning towards the flag or people looking away in shame is not much different.

These people, and the entire sports industry, are €£@^.

Just to compare the athlete of old to the “superior” modern athlete: a 100 meter race between Jesse Owens and Usain Bolt on the same track, with the same shoes, and the same starting blocks, would be exceptionally close (it would be Bolt by less than a step, according to most analyses). Throw in the same dietary “supplements” or lack thereof, and you might have it the other way around.

Sports have outgrown their role and their usefulness. They are bloated, and COVID-19 is deadly to that sort of thing.

How long before they figure out that we watch sports to get away from the political crap, not have it rubbed in our faces?.............................

I’m cheering them on too. I hope that pro sports, as it’s been known during the last 60 years, disappears. It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.

Hey NBA racist thugs.

You are ENTERTAINMENT.

Nothing more.

No one needs ENTERTAINMENT. No one wants to be lectured to while paying for ENTERTAINMENT.

And the entertainment industry is HIGHLY competitive.

You run up and down a court chasing a ball.

You had no idea how good you had it.

Dumb mutherf+ckers.

Yahoo Sports shut off comments. Then have sports columnists pontificate about how racist and hateful each sport is. I assume it will continue until after the election is over, then they will turn comments back on again. I am not going back to reading their web page.

The left wing idiots at CBS Sports want everything shut down - NBA - College Football - NFL - isn’t that where they make their living? Dennis Dodd on CBS Sports was cheering when the Big 10 & Pac 10 shut down fall sports - Why?

It’s simple: if you live in a glass house that was built and paid for by fans, don’t throw rocks at the fans.

People don’t like in-your-face lecturing on topics having nothing to do with the entertainment being paid for. Sports, Hollywood, media, and academia need to realize that, in the end, they are much less important to most people than the police, firefighters, doctors, nurses, teachers, utility workers, farmers, grocers, and garbage collectors. And, if we are smart, we’ll add nonproductive politicians to the list of marginal performers.

i’ve already walked away ... been a die-hard Broncos fan for forty years, but no more ... used to watch some of the stupid sports shows, kept up and watched other teams they were going to play, the whole mcgillicuddy ... but no more ... i have no idea what’s going on with them for any other part of the NFL and could care less now ...

sports fandom is an obsessive emotional addition, but it’s the easiest of all the addictions to cure, namely abstain for a few weeks while finding other activities and soon you could care less ...

do i still miss it? a little, but it helped alot that the Broncs had turned into losers and that the games themselves had turned into an excruciatingly boring “entertainment” with the sole strategy of simply hanging on during the 15 minutes of actual play during the 3.5 hour telecast hoping the other team makes more mistakes than yourself...
