Already started...no more NFL season tickets...
Goodell is a joke...the NFL is controlled by big MEDIA and their big TV contracts...
I think it would be hard for all or most sports fans to give up sports, but a 30-40% cut in their revenues will send a huge message...
Good to know.
Haven’t since the mid 80s.
Damn sight longer than a year, I’m afeared.
I’m done.
Done.
Oh, don’t worry, that won’t be a problem.
Have been for a long time...
I’m almost 30 years into my sports ban. I still fish... and golf (mostly buckets of driving range balls nowadays), stay in shape & stuff like that.
I have seen 2 live MLBs - Nats vs Giants at RFK... and I saw Cal Ripkin 2 games away from breaking his consecutive streak.
I tried the MLB channel a few years ago, but who has time for that? Maybe the barkeep at the VFW... perhaps.
Bits and pieces of sports roundups... but that’s been 9 or 10 years ago.
I dunno, life got busy... and I got p.o.’d by the commercialism and later on the politics.
But... I have drawn the line in the sand
I still am impressed by PBR, Shinty, Darts, PBA and sports fails. I don’t understand cricket and although I’ll kick a “futball” from time to time, my proficiency at foot dribbling alludes me. In my youth I mastered tetherball during recess. I also enjoy tossing around the frisbee. Cornhole is boring. Table tennis anyone?
Brilliant,,,,started months ago.......
bump
Baseball fell well below the line last week when they cancelled games in protest. %@#^ you Dom Smith, you Jack Wagon.
If you must watch, the next best thing is there are tons of ways to stream the games for free. This way they get no money.
Also Don't buy any merchandise and make sure you have an adblocker for any sport site/blog you visit that supported this nonsense.
“Sports have been politicized. Why? Because we will not be allowed to have fun in the USA until we accept socialism and/or communism, only then will the state let us have some of our toys back. See, cancel culture is nothing more then all of us being sent to our rooms without dinner or punishing the whole class for voting for the Bad Orange Man. The left treats everyone like children.“
You are SO dead-ON the money!!!
More so than the right-left, Democrat-Republican, etc... thing, it’s Washington DC against US.
You’ve beautifully stated the whole DC mindset of how they view us - the voters; the “little people”...
Excellent .... lets take it just a small step further.
Find out the beer and booze being advertised and simply switch to another brand.
Instead of waiting for the season to end to find out how we did, this will have an immediate impact.
Just sayin
...for 50 years....
Sports
Hollywood
Media
Avoid sending any of them money until there is new conservative or apolitical competition.
Walking, or running, for an hour or two, instead of sitting on your rear end, watching political prima-donas who are paid mercenaries.
Much better for your spiritual, physical, and mental health.
I now watch only two sports: women’s beach volleyball and hockey fights. Both get down to the nitty-gritty and don’t require being there.
Other than those, I got better things to do.
I only watch one sport. Lingerie football. They are all reruns but still good entertainment.
Excellent and serious players!

I started not spending money on stick-n-ball foolishness 40 years ago.
I enjoy sprint car racing. You won’t see any of that kneeling crap during the National Anthem at your local dirt track.
I have done it for the past several years, and that includes watching any sports on TV.
And over the past couple of years, I’ve upped the ante, stopped watching TV altogether. My mind is much more at ease. I highly recommend it.
I can’t even remember the last Network series I watched.
