You get flamed for it because you’re being an ass. Why go on a thread you’re not interested in? Just walk away, like most folks do with 99% of the threads that pass them by. We like sports because we like sports, we find them entertaining. You don’t, good for you. I know a lot of people who don’t, people are different, that’s what makes them fun to hang out with.
I love sports. I hate that they get taxpayer subsidies, and so should you, if you want to honestly call yourself a conservative, rather than the ass that you seem to be.
