Fans are interested in sports. They can get virtue signaling anywhere. Why waste a couple of hours in front of a tv set?
At the end of the 2020 MLB season, I can see owners meeting up and trying imagine how the 2021 season will work. Contracts offered for free-agents? I think they will be almost non-existent until April of 2021, and it’s possible (if vaccines are a dud)...no significant players get signed up.
Part of being a fan is knowing the the team and players, liking them, respecting them and enjoying watching them play. The players interact with the public and establish a relationship with the fans. There is a bond. When the players disrespect you, the flag and the country, they break that bond. Why the hell would I want to spend my time watching people who I do not like, let alone buy their jersey? At this point, I don't know how they bring back the fans they pushed away.
When there was no other sport happening on the planet ESPN actually got me to stop watching Korean baseball games with their continuous in-your-face woke commentary.

Or re sign on to a sport cable to see this B$!
No way, will I pay some left wing tv rectums to insult my country, my scores of relatives, who served in this country’s military* and their wives who stood by them and kept their homes going while they were defending America.
*Many died in combat or miserable enemy prisons or like my dad were severely injured/disabled for the rest of his adult life.
