Professional sports are reaching a state of self-destruction similar to a Diesel engine wound out to 3,000 RPM, and from which all the oil has been drained from the crankcase, and the sump is dry.
Parts overheat quickly, and self-disassembly proceeds in a spectacular manner.
The sports will survive. It is the leagues that are killing themselves by embracing marxism. They are only inviting competition.
The marxist leagues must die. Long live sports.
Like so many other professions these days, they fail to understand their role on life’s stage.
I guess they feel a need to be more than someone that’s famous and rich for playing a sport, singIng, acting, telling jokes or readIng news.
Are their fame and riches not fulfilling enough for them? Or is it a bandwagon “Me too! Me too!” thing among the rich and famous?
I’ve made a conscious decision to take the time I used to spend enjoying baseball, some football, and some basketball, on music instead. Much better use of my time.
Sports betting recently became legal in Colorado. Now, the bombardment of commercials for sports betting sites is worse than the Bloomberg for President ads ever were.
Btw..this same kid who won a million bucks set up a gambling event through some site on a candy eating contest and whether a guy would puke
Not even sure it was legal..but a lot of people bet it.
I think that should probably be ‘was’, not ‘were’.
For decades pro sports have been to self-aggrandizing for my tastes. To me the best football has always been on Saturdays. Now that the NFL has gone pedal-to-the-metal on blaming America for everything under the sun, especially white male America, they couldnt pay me to watch the stupor bowl.
I love sports and especially college FB, but expect to be giving that up too. Pro sports is boring and don’t miss it.
It will probably be used as a colosseum to throw Christians to lions.

Sort of like the Western Economies running on nitro-methane
It works great, until it doesn’t
Deshaun watson is going to lecture his teammates and the owner and ask questions. I saw that and thought GTFO with your nonsense. The owner and white boy Watts went to the Floyd funeral. watson did not.
nFL wbite boys like Drew Brees will have to capitulate or retire.
At the end of the day pro (and ameture for that matter) sports are nothing more than entertainment. Ill spend my time and hard earned money entertaining myself in some other way.
Too bad there are to many people that live their lives vicariously through their favorite sports team/player. I used to do it...but I REALLY woke up.
People were betting russian table tennis during the lockdown...but after an article about how it might be rigged..and it clearly was...some states shut down the ability to bet on it.
Barry Sanders and Billy Sims were the singular highlights of the Lions.
I don’t know what kind of pipeline there is to Oklahoma.
It always amazed me how many of my customers had practically a ‘shrine’ to John Elway or Peyton Manning and the Broncos, in the front room of the house.
Yes... already there.
It’s a mind vacation, it’s supposed to be relaxing, entertaining. But I won’t watch this political protest. F*ck those millionaires, most of which are “woke” to save their own bacon. Living in a gated community, surrounded by security, they don’t know or care. “I see my brothers are protesting, so I better protest too or I’ll get the Drew Brees treatment”.
May sports soon red line and blow out.
