Maybe he shouldn’t have gone for a knife. His confession not mine.

Get the story straight. He made sudden aggressive moves when he should have shut up and obeyed the officers. How hard is that to comprehend?

Hopefully. 0 pro sports in our house!

I will not watch basketball or baseball again and if football follow their lead I’m finished with it and see how long they last without support?

Me too and if I wasn't fed up with the Primadonnas before, their recent "boycott" has pushed me to forever "boycott" them. Millionaires who also think they can play the political card and not perform for fans! No more NBA or MLB for me.... football was killed a long time ago with Kaepernick starting the kneeling....

I sure hope so. These babies don't deserve to make the money they want and don't want to WORK to earn it.

I couldn't care less what these ignorant players do. I wish the owners would step in and tell them, You play or you're fired, I'm not paying you to make political statements.

College sports are much more interesting and fun to watch anyway.

Amen to that!

We have a tradition of standing for our National Anthem at sporting events and other events.

We are honoring our flag and what it stands for and the brave men and women who have fought under that flag.

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...
Basketball and baseball are two sports I never watched anyway. So, I can't stop watching them. Not sure what activism is taking place. Doesn't activism mean that you are doing something to change a bad situation? What are they attempting to change or accomplish by kneeling? I don't get it.
