Baseball is still above the line. For now. ...but the rest, a lifetime of apathy.

I read opinions from a lot of people that they have found a lot they can do with their spare time (and money!) that they would normally spend on pro sports game days. I will be curious if it can continue, or if it just an artifact of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

I wonder what the reaction will be to college football and basketball should they take up the "cause" and force-feed the public politics 24/7.

You spelled “forever” wrong.

Don’t include MMA with the others. The UFC has avoided all the SJW garbage and puts on a great show. It focuses on sport not lectures.

White People Should Stop Spending Money on Sports For One Year.

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.

No problem. More than that I believe it my patriotic duty to ensure I personally don’t watch any professional sports on TV. I will not contribute to their ratings.

easy to watch games free with the availability of the internet these days

Does anyone know where I can watch the Tour de France or MLB Baseball on the internet for free? The actual events not the highlights - thanks, got rid of cable about a year ago

I have done all that for more than 20 years. When the Super Bowl became about ads, when ESPN and reporters call players by first names, sports radio jock sniffers, sideline reporters in college football, the attempt to neuter hockey, baseball’s penchant for buying players with small markets akin to minor leagues, dimwits playing basketball and football at top colleges, the true fan being taken for granted while the obsessed mostly adult men making athletes into heroes.... so much more. I am down to NHL and horse racing. To paraphrase President Reagan from what the NHL is now doing with its
pro women /black/homosexual agenda, “I didn’t leave the NHL. The NHL left me.”

Agreed. Whites are otherwise supporting those that hate them and their own demise.

Think of all the other ways major leagues get money; cable, phone companies, merchandising, etc.

I haven't bought tickets in 35 years, and I cut my cable TV about 5 years ago. I don't buy or wear anything with team logos.

No. Go watch the kids. Little League, high school football and basketball etc. I live in Indiana. Nothing compares to a Friday night basketball contest between two small schools in farm country. Want your country back? Stop pretending like the corporate sports machine gives a shite about you or your values.

Pro sports are not a basic for most people.
High ticket prices are easy to trim from budgets.

True fans can play pick up games in the park, or enjoy watching skilled amatuers play the game

I think a lot of us plan to do just that.
