So, are you tired of the activism in pro sports? Have you stopped watching?

You have to admit... golf continues to "fly underneath the radar." I haven't seen anyone on the pro circuit wear a "BLM" shirt. In fact, none of the pro golf players are jumping into this controversy.

I love this. They are just playing the sport they love and we just get to watch it. Sigh...

I stopped watching pro-football when the players would not stand for the national anthem. Where else can they make that kind of money for playing a game. Now I just think what would happen at my "regular job" had I refused to work because I was upset with something. I'm sick of the protests - do something constructive.
