“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.”

YES PLEASE.
Can they just stop playing forever?
Please?
Let them just go away already.

So, you’re telling me this will have zero impact on my life?

I do go to local high school football games. It’s fun to watch teenagers play. You can feel their enthusiasm.

A huge number of sportsballers go broke anyway.

I think they are on the right track!

Playtime is over.
We have a nation to build.

It’s time we build what we gotta and leave the losers behind.
American’s have much better to do with their money than to spend it on fixed games with crooked judges and sponsors that want to kill us all...

bye bye losers.
You should be getting minimum wage, just for the privilege to play.

the salaries they receive could often support 30 or more americans who want a job.

Bring it on. Let’s see how mouthy LeBron James is after he burns through his last million.

Do these bone heads realize this gives the demographic of supposedly anti Trump people incentive to vote for Trump, namely suburban moms aka. sports widows?

As a certain letter of the alphabet says, “These people are stupid.”

Sure...7 foot guys who are brainless and have no other skills other than throwing a ball through a hoop are going to walk away from millions of dollars a year.

Maybe they’d like to play in China and bow to their overlords.
Good riddance.

I wish they would, but this is just like the people who say they’re moving if Trump or any other republican wins. They tease us with their sweet talk, but they never follow through.

....is there a problem?

as I have often said.....these “athletes” need fans MUCH more than the fans need them

I can live just nicely without their financial support...I am not so sure they can live without ours.

There won’t be any sports for a month,” he said. “Maybe more. These kids just won’t stand for it.”

The sports writers and talking heads will spend their days interviewing unemployed athletes. Until the sports writers and talking heads are unemployed.
