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.

Behavior takeS about 90 days to become habits.

Not watching sports has become a habit.

Oh yeah. College,high school,pee wee leagues. They’ll all fall in line with the communist agenda until it’s confronted head on. And that will be ugly.

That’s a great point.

I’d also point out that this kind of disruption really makes it easier to understand how much time people waste when they’re watching sports on TV. The NFL is the worst culprit in this regard. If you attend an NFL game in person and don’t have the benefit of all the TV commentary and on-screen graphics and advertising between plays, you will quickly realize how awful and dull an NFL game really is.

These game goers would make fun of me with my guns. They shoulda stocked up on ammo. People who think their bourgeois lifestyle is safe make me sick.

I don’t know many adults who have 3 hours of spare time in their week to throw away sitting on their butts watching other people do stuff. Maybe they’re retired?
