Wokeness has no place anywhere.
We don’t.
Watching? Not me.
Why watch it? Because after the clock starts, the millionaires are playing a game. And sometimes watching them are fun.
I made a good living for many years photographing college sports. Even the lousy field hockey games were fun.
Not everything is about politics.
“We” don’t.
Because they’re really not doing anything. Really at this point psuedo-conservative whiners spend WAAAAAY more time bitching about wokeness in pretty much everything than there’s wokeness in pretty much anything.
> Why Do We Still Watch?
Some must be addicted to the false sense of accomplishment sports gives them.
Sports, like many other institutions, are running on the fumes of our old culture. Fans who grew up walking to games never left “their” hometown; now, they make that hour drive to the stadium every week to support players and team owners who despise them and with whom they have almost nothing in common.
No thugball here. Not running-into-each-other-ball, not jumpy-ball, nor stick-ball, not even the football for feet :p
Better yet no sub to cable or satellite that pays those people whether I’d watch them or no. Still 10x more things to do than time.
More importantly, my kids don’t watch it.
I’ve got better things to do.
Planning mega terrorism,racism..destroying democracy..destroying the planet..busy busy busy.
We don’t.
And we cut the cord to deny them even the carriage fees.
Have not watched NFL - NBA - MLB games for many years - and will never watch again.
Who’s this ‘we’, kimosabe?
The answer is normalcy bias.
Who is “we?”
Hoping that this is not too far off topic, but I recall from a few years back watching a Flyers game from the Wells Fargo Center with the local broadcast feed. One of the ads featured a deal that for about 80 or 90 USD, one got a fairly decent seat plus unlimited chicken wings at the concessions. And it made me think, no wonder why I can’t stand the loud music and sound effects at NHL arenas these days as all of that is aimed at these people that are probably that good bit overweight from eating all of that junk food and want to keep on acting like their still twelve years old even though they are in their thirties or forties.
And all of that woke garbage is also aimed at that kind of loud and childish way people like that take in professional sporting events these days.
What’s this “we” Schiff kemosabe?
Because we can’t watch the propaganda news anymore (and it is going to Nov 8th). And even worse if the Republicans actually take the House and Senate. I watch NCAA college football (go Georgia!) to take my mind off the awfulness of Joe Biden and his attempted destruction of the US.
Biden is George Soros with nice teeth.
