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...

They should be dead. Millions of people have lost their jobs. And these idiots get paid millions to play sports! Seriously!! Look what the nurses and doctors and now our police officers do. They all put their lives on the line and get paid squat! That is ridiculous! Priorities in this country suck more and more everyday. That is why we are where we are. And then these “athletes “ are kneeling to the flag and people still want to support that! Everyone has “survived” not watching sports, think people can survive longer.

TV NBA ratings are way down this year. Some of it has to do with the daytime games, but even the prime time ones have less than 4 million viewers. Many people just don't care anymore. The same is true for baseball. It will be interesting to see what happens when college and pro football start up.

These "Big Shot" multi-millionaires think they can do as they want without fear of being fired and accept the fines levied. If I protested Viet Nam, Attica or Kent University during my working days and didn't show up for work, I would have been fired.

In July there were Three White females and four White males killed by black males and you didn't read about or see about about these tragedies in the so-called National News. NO-ONE took a knee for these souls or burned down their neighborhoods in protest.

Well my Friends, if you see a golf cart around The Villages with signs on a cart with these names, it's me

Through with sports!

We have not supported the NFL for a few years...College sports are more interesting and exciting to enjoy due to less "hotdogs" on the field. Now college sports are on hold due to COVID19 fears.
We do enjoy the comeback of televised golf tournaments each weekend.
No longer supporting MLB or NBA...The Kapernick influence killed it for us!

au contraire, mon cher,,, no has posted players, etc, cannot protest &, as employees who belong to a labor union, they're well within their right to protest,,, no responder has mentioned race as a basis for ignoring these carjackers in shorts' future performances. responders who base arguments on race exhibit personal racism or perhaps self-imposed guilt but maybe that's just me

...in keeping with their "Cancel Culture" - I would suggest that ANY Pro Sports that honors postponement / cancellation / protesting of their games.... BE CANCELLED OUT. period. I would not even click on a channel that is showing these sports - thus inhancing the number of viewers supporting the advertisers and the mega $$$$$ these leagues receive in order to pay these primidonas their millions++++$$$$$$.

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.

No more professional sports for me!!!

[superzcomputerz]

Not me!

If you “turn off” sports to protest the protestors you are exercising your first amendment right just like the players and other protestors.

Hope they go bankrupt. I will boycott for life the NBA, NFL and MLB.
