I stopped watching MLB in the 80’s during one of those strikes

Go All Blacks! (nothing to do with the color of their skin; their t-shirts and gym shorts both are black).

And these guys would NEVER, EVER kneel during their national anthem, "God [yes, God] Save New Zealand:"

UNC is such a shithole of black extremism and white PC Marxism, that no one gives a damn about what they do.

Just read some of the columns by Un. of No. Carolina professor Michael Adams to see what is really going on down there.

A once good school is now just another recruiting ground for BLM and the Revolutionary Communist Part/Antifa.

I don’t need sports period.

I use to watch college football Saturday. Then waste my Sunday watching the NFL. Waste October through June watching the NBA. And waste countless hours watching baseball. ITS ALL A WASTE OF TIME.

I kayaked and fished today. An absolutely gorgeous day spent in northern CA out in nature talking with my 76 year old dad. Thank you NFL, for showing me that sports in general is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Where's Roller Derby when you need them? If they kneel while wearing roller skates, they'll fall on their asses.

Well, Trump has a point. If the entire stadium got up and left, and didn’t return until the jerk was fired, it would likely make a difference.

I’m sick of it. Don’t watch sports or TV news anymore. Also limited as to movies and series I watch.

Every time some Hollyweird liberal opens their mouth and utters their foolish anti American tirade, I just note another person I won’t ever watch again.

A great investment of time with your Dad. Mine passed in ‘01.

I spent the day at the gun show with a friend. Other Sundays during football (or baseball, or basketball) involve beer brewing and woodworking, or time with the family.

Roller Derby, haven’t thought about that in years.

If it was still done it’d be just as bad as it was way back then. LOL!

What better way for an obscure individual to become a whore for a cause.

The sooner the fans learn just how much contempt their sports heros and their owners have for them, the better.
