The true power to destroy their sports and slit their own throats. I suppose the power to commit suicide is power.

Well, I can really see their power with the standing room only crowds at the stadiums or the TV ratings going through the roof, eh?

True power? I stopped watching sports 2 years ago after spending my life watching them. I can care less about sports. It just takes your eye off the real important things, going on around us. Athletes will just need to find another line of work. To bad though ,I did like Baseball.

The violent Marxist Black Lives Matter/Antifa wild thug mob riot organization is solely based on One Big Lie. So I quit watching all pro-Marxist-BLM pro sports league games months ago; also gave up watching Fox News and switched to OAN & Newsmax on election night.

40,000 voted there, but Biden’s margin of victory there was greater than 40,000, wasn’t it?

Their “real power” is to disgust us away from their product with all of their Bash Lighter Melanins message.

I used to never miss a Super Bowl. This will be the fourth straight one I have not watched.

Yes, these athletes are so powerful that they not only influenced me to stop watching every sport except golf, but they also influenced me to stop listening to sports radio. True power indeed!

Why I stocked up some years ago on vintage hockey DVDs (NHL Action Series films from the early 1970s). And there are all sorts of complete games from the 1960s thru the 1980s on You Tube as well back from when the NHL was a man’s game played by men and watched and enjoyed by those of us who were men or aspired to be men.

Another kool aid drinker. O, Canada, you are doomed. Sports....who cares? The true power is not believing the hype and using sports as an adult pacifier.
I do believe competitive sports can show the maximum human physical prowess....but it stops there.

What professional athletes and team owners are learning is that the fans have all the power. Ratings suck and and money for players is is taking a nose dive.

But those votes accrued to Biden for a variety of reasons, including people like Stacey Abrams, whose relentless, years-long registration campaign yielded a bumper crop of African-American voters.

Is Stacey Abrams the real power behind the throne in Georgia? Was she responsible for all the cheating that went on?

For the Dems, it's always about race.

Some tactics they will try to pull:

The African Americans caught on tape cannot be criticized. If anyone mentions criminal behaviour, they will be branded as racists.

No mention will be made of the large numbers of African Americans who voted for Trump.

“No matter how many recounts lame-duck U.S. president Donald Trump finagles, he’ll never win Georgia. He’ll keep losing at the ballot box,”

That’s because, like the national elections, the Democrats aka Demoncrats are flooding the state with fraudulent ballots and voters.

Yesterday a ruckus broke out leading to the players from both sides walking off the pitch in the Paris Sg Champions League game.

The offense?

An official said “that black guy” when referencing his call to someone who wanted to know the offender.

So they are playing the match today.

The dude went off on the official saying you don’t say “that white guy”
