A few weeks ago, I was talking to a relatively high-level sports executive about the election, which is to say we were discussing something terrible Donald Trump had said or done. We agreed that Trump was likely to lose. “But he could always still win — even Nate Silver says that,” I remarked.
The executive then said something that stunned me, though the more and more I think about it, the more sense it makes. “If Trump wins, or if he refuses to concede, I’m telling you right now: There won’t be any sports for a month,” he said. “Maybe more. These kids just won’t stand for it.”

Yeah. And he’ll leave the country. Tell me another one.

If moron athletes don't shut their stupid mouths, the public will stop paying. Good news -- the culture can take the hit.

“If Trump wins, or if he refuses to concede, I’m telling you right now: There won’t be any sports for a month,” OMG. Trump winning AND professional athletes not playing??! Could it get any better than that?

I’d claim that as a VICTORY!

Where did all of this hatred come from? The Chinese have propagandized half of the nation. Be careful what you wish for folks, you may get it. Civil war. We can NOT live like this in our republic.

With politics in sports I am out. Right now I am only watching the PGA.

Another leftist threat: vote for Biden, or else.

"kids" huh? "These kids just won't stand for it."
He's right, y'know. From what I've seen there are damn few "men" left in professional sports, both on the field and in the broadcast studio where everything is about fear of the Chinese flu. Men wouldn't behave or think this way ... These "men" do ... especially on ESPN.

Probably unkept promises again. They didn’t leave the country when the Prez won the first time
