I saw it quite differently. I see a lot of overpaid athletes succumbing to social pressure and supporting, de facto, a Marxist revolutionary group BLM that purports to advance the cause of black folk. Most of the athletes have no idea of what's going on.

The membership of BLM is primarily white and one of the key national leaders is a former member of the Weather Underground.

Many people will simply stop watching politicized sports. At some point, the players will get to deal with pay cuts. An interesting factoid ... A&E cancelled their popular "Live PD" show and A&E's ratings have dropped about 50% as a result. Go woke, and go broke.
