The biggest jock in the sports space is Donald J Trump. Watching him is the new national pastime. He is on every day and he goes 3-4 rounds with media. He back to doing marathon rallies. And he is always pitching somewhere. And they bet on him in Vegas. He is the sports channel for now!
Totally agree. If Trump his holding a rally viewing that online has become Must See TV. Takes priority over anything else that’s on including sports.

There are some great high school sports teams..I live in SW FLA and they are great to watch and your outside.. girls softball is really good down here
I haven’t watched any pro sports since I lost interest in the NFL for good about 15-20 years ago.
It should be interesting the next time a team demands a new stadium or arena or else they will leave town. Hopefully, the citizens of the threatened city responds like Cromwell to the Rump Parliament: “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
Donald J Trump is the greatest show on earth!
I have no interest in watching groups of highly paid men fighting over a ball and then telling me I’m racist. There’s enough propaganda on tv, in print, on the web, and on the radio. I don’t need any more.
I stated something like this awhile back to others, with just a bit of sarcasm:
“I never thought I’d say/type these words, but Thank you China for helping to destroy the four institutions I most-despise:
Hollywood, Academia, Professional Sports & the Democratic Party.”
If we can salvage what remains, I hazard an opinion that it may very well have been worth those results.
I love your response, i also hope they go bankrupt. They deserve it!!!!
“...the citizens of the threatened city responds like Cromwell to the Rump Parliament: “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”...”
Richard Harris, an Irishman no less, did a great job of Cromwell’s dismissal of Parliament in the film, CROMWELL.
I have been conflicted about sports for a long time. If you think too hard about sports, they just seem stupid. The way a guy throws a basketball through a hoop is described as "balletically graceful". All he's doing is throwing a ball though a hoop. It gets dumber with complicated games like baseball. And we wax rhapsodic over a guy trying to roll a little ball into a hole in golf. The more I am away from sports, the dumber they seem.
I have not watched a single sports event since they started taking a knee to protest my country, AMERICA.
Trump's real AND he's fighting the good fight for all of us. We have skin in this game. It's fun to watch, fun to participate in...
Thugball's an imitation of life... which is why we found it interesting. Good vs bad - our team vs 'the other'... But it's always been fake...
And worse, now thugball is between two sides we find offensive which isn't fun.NOT fun at all... Their team kneels to Marxism, our team knees to Marxism. Neither 'team' is fun or worth supporting.
Where have you found Aussie Rules to watch? Ever since they went more pro and Nationwide in Oz it is near impossible to see anything but highlights for me. Bloody AFL broadcast rights.
Thanks!
Amazing how you can totally ruin your image by crossing entertainment with extreme political correctness.
FS1 holds the US rights. It is generally on early in the morning. One interesting thing I notice is that they are playing in front of sparse, socially distanced crowds. And that absolutely no one in the stands, on the field or on the sidelines appears to be wearing a mask.
Masks apparently are only effective against the virus in the Northern Hemisphere.
Sports has brought the races together. People celebrate the accomplishments regardless of race etc.
The owners foolishly chose to allow in game protesting, instead of devoting time and effort to simply have a pre game highlight of players stating what they are doing in their community to better perceived relations.
Also the NFL has enough money to buy a “ special” pre game highlight show of all those types of things.
Instead they wheel out “ weasel Goodell” and his “ we should have listened to Cap” nonsense ignoring the indelible tie between the anthem, flag, service members and the blood/lives lost to have a free country...
