They are starting to worry about the money lost. Nothing else. Idiots. Sports fans are from all political persuasions but lean right of center in general. Dumb to keep kicking them in the face.

“We need police reform, we need prison reform. … My concern is turning this into a circus instead of trying to do some good stuff.”

Charles, it was never about any good stuff.

It's always been about tyranny.

The NFL had over 100 million viewers for the Super Bowl THIS year. He’s right they spit on America and NFL fans don’t care.

The hell you say. This from the guy who said during a broadcast that he likes to masturbate to pictures of Sarah Palin.

Outside of PGA I am off pro sports

Are you talking about the same PGA that moved a tournament to Mexico just so they did not have to have it at one of Trump’s facilities? That one??

Back in the day, I would go to Flyers games. Would always see him in the crowd. Was great with kids who asked for his autograph between periods.

Why do they feel the need or desire, to alienate a big proportion of their fan base? Just to make Hollywood idiots and media idiots and liberal politicians happy?

Professional sports is like a narcotic. Only a handful that can kick the habit are being alienated.

A large part of their addicted fan base are flag-waving conservatives. They'll continue to tune in and attend, and grit their teeth and tolerate the knee-bending and America-bashing.

If white fans have any self-respect, they shouldn’t be coming back.

When you don’t have a family, church, neighborhood, school, or dream you can always go riot on the big yellow BLM mural.

Well there’s something I didn’t know about Charles. He’s a hockey fan.

The same league that demands that BLM appear on their jerseys had NO issue with DeSean Jackson spewing his anti Jew garbage, in fact he was defended by these same very people. I have been a die hard laker fan my entire life, have had to “root” for LeDouchebag since he is a Laker but when basketball does come back, it wont be the same, these people dont respect our flag they dont respect our country yet they b*tch about quarantined food being given to them

How about: Sports have turned into a divisive "circus" and fans would be stupid to come back unless the sports swamp has been drained.
