The thing that always galled me was we the taxpayers paid for most of their Taj Mahal stadiums.

I wonder what sport will replace the NFL?

Soccer?

Major League Baseball came out in defense of players who knelt...

And one less viewer was born. No more.

I was the least athletic person in my family, my brother and father played college football and my father was a high school football coach for a long time.

I was a football season ticket holder at my alma mater for nearly 30 years before giving it up...

I have loved sports since I was a kid.....

It’s hard to give them all up but I have and once you stop watching it’s a little hard at first but after a few games you begin to realize you don’t really need them and take up new interests....

But I refuse to allow political correctness be shoved down my throat...the only recourse I have is to not support sports that insult everything I believe....

Lacrosse players aren’t kneeling yet or team handball players, too.

Sports was already done for me before this when all you started hearing about were salaries...free agents blah blah blah.

"Major League Baseball came out in defense of players who knelt during the national anthem..."

Wow. Just wow.
A sport that's on life-support as it is, decides to double-down on anti-American displays.

As "Bones" would say: "He's dead, Jim".

Ps it does occur to me that once players became multi millionaire kings and not just well paid it was to hard to relate to. I’m old but it’s TRUE...the past was far superior, more innocent and more enjoyable...money corrupted so many things then social media arrived and killed it all. Movies...gone...sports...gone..music industry...gone...anything else?

As a long suffering Mariners fan this would be the last straw. A mediocre team on the field combined with political theater means I am done with baseball.

Part of me was kind of looking forward to sitting on my porch listening to a baseball game this summer. This sort of BS just sours it.

Guess I’ll go back to all the other things I was doing during the lockdown.

I quit major league sports including baseball back when overpaid (aka rich) players started charging little boys and some girls I suppose fee’s for their signatures at signing events. Their core values changed. They no longer played the sport for sports sake and started acting like greedy capitalist pigs. They ruined the sport for me.

Will the cardboard fans have to follow social distancing and wear masks? :-)
