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...

What a joke.

Hockey has to be one of the whitest sports going.

20 years ago I started cycling seriously, jogging and visiting more with family and friends. I dropped life-long sports addictions like a hot potato. I have never regretted it.

No excuses. I am in my sixties. I love sports. I love baseball. I love baseball despite player strikes, steroids, gambling scandals, teams moving, rule changes, sign stealing, idiot owners, idiot players....I love the game. Same thing with football.

And I am fond of saying that the game is better than the players who play it, or the owners who own it. This too, shall pass...

But there are limits, and they may have crossed it here.

I’m a NJ Devils fan and I can honestly feel for you, a die-hard Rangers fan. 2020, the year sports woke up dead.

I only watch golf. I find it quite exciting. Clean-cut young men playing a high=skill game in a beautiful place.
What’s not to like?

They hate whites, even the white players and announcers hate whites.

I’ve been done with Sports for years. Trust me, you’ll find a new hobby and then you’ll wonder why you’d ever bothered.

My comments to my wife before leaving the room in disgust -

How will their virtue signaling impact the homicide rate in Baltimore, Chicago, etc.?

Don’t worry Chris, when the muderous horde comes to your neighborhood they will eat you last.

No offense to midgets everywhere, but I just can’t justify depleting my porn budget on midget porn.

” but I wonder if it counts as a view with TV ratings? “

It absolutely does.

"The Houston Texans remained in the locker room for the national anthem while the Kansas City Chiefs all stood on the sideline"

Screw the Texans - chokers and losers. And Marxists.

We have to kill baseball to save it.

I only watch hockeyfights.com and women’s beach volleyball.

The former at 2X speed and the latter at 1/2 speed.

And when it finally cools off, I’m back to the range.

Who needs overpaid entitled behemoth thugball?

Miami Dolphins say they will stay in
the locker room while the National Anthem and the Lift Every Voice (black anthem)
get played this sunday at Gillette Stadium
Foxboro MA (N.E. Patriots).
Dolphins say they feel the NFL reneged
on their spending $$$ to deal with
social justice.
