Charles Barkley: Sports Are Turning Into A Divisive “Circus” And Fans Might Not Come Back

It's true and it's good that someone out there with a media forum is willing to admit it.

But it's also true that the major sports leagues don't care - they've seen Hollywood and television turn their backs on the conservative half of the nation and get away with it. They might not get quite as much in profit, but they'll get by and they will not be subject to the social attacks the Left will mount. Everyone knows the Right will not retaliate.

Yeah sure, if they want to get 'Dixie-chicked' out of their profession then go right ahead with that plan.

No greater truth will ever be spoken on this forum.

No need to retaliate, just organize your life so that they are not a part of it.

Just like diet's don't work because they depend on will power and to lose weight you need to change you life style permanently. Same concept.

Fill the empty time with something more useful.

They have already lost more than they know. The ‘gentlemen’ who are trying for the megacontracts might want to go ahead a take the cash. Case in point is Dak Prescott, who will get 31.4 million on the day he reports by playing under the Franchise tag. Mahomes signed a long term contract extension for $450 million over ten years, but he only gets $825K and 4.5 Million for 2020. I think that Prescott made the better deal by getting the 31.4 million on day one, because I doubt that Mahomes will ever see more than the $5.3 million he gets the first year. If I am wrong, then Prescott can get a new long term contract when play resumes. I don’t see how the NBA or the NFL survives this time. The NBA is beholden to China, and perhaps they can ship the whole lot of them to Bejing. Goodbye! As far as the NFL, I would rather watch replacements and those who are there for the love of the game and support their country than pay for a bunch of rich primadonna racists who support the BLM Marxist Company...

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

Your a little late Charlie. It’s already turned into a divisive Circus.

You might be wrong.
