Only 34.5%??

That’s just those who will admit it to a pollster.

If a pollster calls me, I just hang up.

Yeah, right.

I recently watched the old Dream Team Olympic b-ball games on YouTube. It was fun watching Barkley beat up foreigners.

I watch US MLR, European, Australian and New Zealand rugby though I have to tape some of the matches because of when they are broadcast. GO Wales for winning 6 Nations. Will watch curling if it is on too. It looks boring but I find it quite calming. I suspect chess would be that way too for me.
But I am a bit weird.

NBA ratings are of no concern to me. It is 10 black guys running up and down the court stuffing the ball, taking too many steps, fouling, jiving, pukes with an IQ total of under 800. 800/10 = 80.
That is the NBA! They have never been entertaining.
I have not watched them in 50 years!

You are right.
Hockey is the game to watch!

“Hockey night in Canada,” music to my old ears!

According to the poll, 11 percent of people said they have watched more sports as a result of the social justice messaging ...

I call BS. Nobody who didn't watch sports is going to start watching because a bunch of a-holes kneel during the national anthem.

And it seems like good old fashioned integrity & honesty when doing business is a thing of the past.

It’s a lost art form.

FReepers should boycott all sports.

"The only sport I watch now is Hockey"

Sorry I have to disagree! It's Women's Beach Volley Ball for me!

Sports used to be a “religion” to me and now it’s dead. It’s not only the nauseating woke BS but also rule changes and expansion that have watered down and deteriorated the games. Lastly, who can watch games with cutout people, piped in sound and playing basically scrimmages. It appears thus far nothing is changing well into the 2021 seasons.

This is a fake survey result. Yahoo Sports cannot tell the truth that it’s a lot worse than 34%. A lot worse.

No hockey for me. Philadelphia Flyers took down the great Kate Smith’s statue giving into the mob. And the so called toigh broad street bully fans buckled and keep buying tickets as they disparage this woman. America really sucks now. Really badly.
