Enough!

Posted on 09/10/2020 5:31:29 PM PDT by fhayek

I tried. I love sports. I love football. I figured there would be virtue signalling. The slogans. The George Floyd tee shirts on the anthem singers. The commercials. On and on. Finally, I thought they were going to play a game and then Chris Collingworth started to get on his soapbox....

That was it. Enough already. I turned it off. I don't care anymore...

We are all racist by default. Never mind that the people most likely to kill black people are black people. Sorry. I care for everyone. I think everyone deserves the rights from God and the priviliges bestowed on them from America. Stop preaching to me. I never said Black Lives don't Matter. Black people, on the other hand, often live their lives that way. I don't need multi-millionaire Africa Americans telling me what a shitty place America is.

Done.

I tried as well, FRiend.
But when they insisted that I see Janet Jackson’s boob....I put a halt to it.
The only professional sports I even lightly care about involves shooting.

Put Jerry Miculek up on the pedestal.
NOT that CRAPernick jackass.

Nope. NHL drank the Kool-Aid, too. Thought they’d be the last holdout, it was wrong. Very disappointed and I let them know, too. I have been reading some excellent books lately and enjoying it!

The left ruins everything they touch. Church, sports, human relationships, schools . . . . . . .

>>>Try the NHL.

LOL!

"NHL stars upset with league’s response to Jacob Blake shooting"

"Prior to the Boston Bruins-Tampa Bay Lightning game, which began at 8 p.m., the public-address announcer acknowledged that “Racism has been embedded in our society for far too long,” adding that the NHL is “committed” to fighting racial injustices.

San Jose Sharks star forward Evander Kane, who is black, helped form the Hockey Diversity Alliance with Dumba in early June following the police killing of George Floyd, in an effort to “eradicate racism and intolerance in hockey.” He also expressed disappointment with the NHL’s response. “I’ll be honest, I haven’t really heard much in regards to Jacob Blake’s attempted murder,” Kane told Sportsnet. “It’s unfortunate, we’re obviously talking about another black man unarmed being shot in the back in front of his children.

What does Collingsworth know about football? He played for the Bengals.

NFL starts with a grand production of the so-called black national anthem and later presented a sub-par boring no-frills National Anthem with the Houston team staying in the locker room. Goodbye NFL! I’m done.

I have Dish primetime which is recording the game. I am not going to watch it, but I wonder if it counts as a view with TV ratings? As far as I know there is no way to stop it with out turning off all the primetime feature.

I guess I thought I could flip past the PC virtue signalling. NBC, at least, was not going to allow that to happen.

Good for you. I deactivated my Facebook today. I haven’t watched an NBA game. I’m not watching the NFL.

There is more in this world.

Let the money dry up.

I saw a meme linked in an earlier thread. It showed the NBA court with:

It was very appropriate.

I have been a hockey fan for 65 years. Love the Rangers. Was very much looking forward to these playoffs. Then they decided not to play. I have not watched another game. The only sport left for me to watch is tennis and they are now on very shaky ground with me.

Recording is Watching.

You just added to the ratings and told the advertisers that you were happy to watch the fiasco.

I pay attention to the players. Not the owners and league officials.

I hate to be harsh but you knew this was the case and you tuned in increasing their ratings. I’m completely fed up with supporting crap thays used against us. Once again my apologies in advance..
