I also hope no one ever goes back to watching or caring about anything “pro-sports,” in general.
Maybe people will go back to the novel idea of making your own fun. Having friends over for game / card nights. Playing sports yourself. Having dinner parties , etc.
I do think it would be hilarious if those ungrateful bums lost their jobs or took huge cuts because of their nasty arrogant attitudes.
I’m at my mom’s house for dinner having so sit here watching the Woke NFL with the obnoxious fake fans screaming and the Twighlight zone looking empty seats. Formerly a Seahawk fan, now even they make me want to puke. Every so often they mention how players are “Standing up to systemic racism in our country” No BLM that I can see painted on the endzone but almost every commercial has some woke ass shit slanted message to it. I literally want to puke. I better put this away now, they keep staring at me.
I think it is fair to say that they have alienated many fans for a generation or more.
The players in the NBA did not think this out very well. It is quite possible between social justice and Covid that they will take a bath on their salary. On top of that, so many fans have walked that their earning potential moving forward is much less because there is a cumulative impact in advertising dollars and ticket prices.
The NFL, MLB, and even Nascar also harmed their brands with this nonsense. Prior to all of this political theater sports were something we could just enjoy. Much of the blame for this also goes to ESPN and sports talk radio who have become a format for social justice and leftist ideology. I think most of the staff of ESPN are full-on communists.
The left ruins everything. I am not watching.
Yes, they need to bring more Social Justice causes to the game for fan enlightenment. Absolutely. Money is not the important thing, after all.
