I have been a football and baseball fan for nearly all my life. But I'm done. Just like everything else liberalism gets a hold of they have destroyed them with politically correct double standards.

I no longer see a reason to give my time, attention, money or anything else to organziations that excercise PC double standards with regard to free speech. Goodbye NFL and MLB. And good riddance.

Social media will bite you in the butt every time.

We were told at my last job that: Social media can and will put you in a bind, if you start spouting off. And if the company gets involved somehow (because they employ the “offender”) than the company is going to let you go.

Not that necessarily disagree, but at that point they have skin in the game that do not wish to participate in.

So we just shut up on line, or went undercover.

I quite NFL cold turkey. Time to throw out the baseball, too. Waste of time anyway. Time that could be better spent mt. biking, or skiing, or engaged in shooting sports.

NFL and NBA got boycotted a couple of decades back.

Professional sports are just another arm of the liberal media, one of the most lucrative. The addiction to sports by conservative men helps subsidize the entire cable and broadcast TV industry. I've lost count of how many conservative men I've tried to convince to drop their cable TV who've said "But what about the (local sports team)?"

I gave up the few cable shows I still watched, everyone who hates the liberal media should do the same, even if it means missing "the big game". The people who run these media cartels hate us, the entertainers hate us, and now even some of the athletes hate us. We should return the favor.

This year of all years...

The irony, but you are to be commended!

You picked a helluva time to start your MLB boycott.

I commend you.

Paying more for cars, beer and pizza for the ‘priviledge’ of watching men get dirty rich for playing with a ball, and other men getting dirty rich for talking about the men playing with balls...umm...I got better things to do. Yep.

NFL yes
MLB no

Detroit Tiger’s Saltalamacchia wore patriotic cleats last night with a police badge embroidered on the heel.
