"Get Woke, Go Broke" - Sportsball "Industry" Takes Big Hit in Poll - Good...Let It Die

[prambo]

The percentages are great...people are walking away from sportsball by the droves.

It's not allowed in our house, just like any other Maoist propaganda...

But if sportsball goes away, who will guide us in making cultural and political decisions?

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I tuned into watch the kentucky derby last week.


That was a mistake.

You can't even watch a horse race without an agenda being pushed.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Good. Thou shalt reap what thou hath sown.

 

[Calculon]

Corporate sponsorships and season ticket holders will keep them going for a while. At least the major market teams. Smaller markets will feel the sting on reduced ticket sales faster. I no longer have any interest in professional sports.

 

[Dr. Evil]

As it should. Couldn't happen to a nicer genre.

 

[prambo]

Guess they should "learn to code."

What are these sports you speak of. I’ve stopped watching all of it. I will continue to not watch.

 

[Bigfoot]

NFL, NBA, MLB, and the others...

 

[Chevusa]

So I didn't watch any of it, but from what I'm hearing, the NFL put on a show before the game for a domestic terror organization, yet the night before 9/11 they did noting to honor and remember those who lost everything. Shameful.

I never grew up as a sports fan. I never, and still don't understand why so many people obsess over how a grown adult, who is a stranger to them, does well or does not do well playing a game against another adult who is also a stranger to them. These people are paid millions to throw a ball around. It's frankly just silly. Always just found it ferociously boring, so perfectly happy if it gets knocked down a few pegs by society.

And honest to God, holy fuck baseball is a terrible game to watch. I can truly say I've never watched an entire game. My daughter went to watch somebody at a game recently and spent two hours there and had no idea how bad it would be. I had a good laugh about it afterward. At least some sports (e.g. hockey) are fast paced. Baseball is truly the worst. I would absolutely rather go to work than watch it.

I agree. All I ever watched was the super bowl for sure and football if the weather was bad or had people over. If the weather was nice I was outside. Also liked a hockey game every now and again.

I grew up in a family that was moderately into sports (mostly my father). Even as a little kid I never really was into sports that much. I remember in college going to a few basketball games and just getting really annoyed by all the other students yelling like idiots. It was even worse several years later when I was in a sport bar and you got yelled at if you didn't cheer when the team the bar was into scored a point. Been turned off to sports ever since. Basically watch the Super Bowl for the commercials which have gone in the last year or so from modestly amusing to plain stupid to just depressing and dumb. Other than an occasional hockey game (which so far is the least woke of all the sports...give it time though) I don't even bother anymore.

Kind of sad when the video game of the sport is actually more entertaining than the actual sport itself, isn't it?

Miami Dolphins To ‘Stay Inside’ During National Anthem

The Miami Dolphins have announced players will not be on the field for the national anthem in Sunday's season opener.

miami.cbslocal.com

In a video first shared by ESPN’s Jay Williams, several Fins players explain they will “stay inside” during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The team’s demonstration includes staying inside for “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Black national anthem, which the NFL has decided will be played before every week-one game.

A black national anthem? Can we please stop with this shit?

NFL is going to implode if they continue this sort of crap. Evidently the season opener game was down 16% from last year. A lot of people are not going to be into it if ever game they are lectured by millionaires who play with a ball for a job about how oppressive they are as middle class americans.

Oh, did football start?

 

[masterswimmer]

I was one of those sports fans since before I can remember. Sports was my life as a kid. I had season tickets to the Yankees. Went to Rangers and Jets games.

Ever since Kraperdick pulled his political stunt I completely, 100% disengaged from football. I haven't watched so much as one play since that fateful day years ago. Not even the Super Bowl.

Baseball has remained neutral, until this year. As soon as I saw my once beloved Yankees don their BLM practice jerseys I repeated my NFL disengagement, this time with MLB.

I've become so disgusted with the politicized sport franchises that I no longer miss watching their hypocritical multi million dollar crybabies. They took my respite, my escape from the BS of everyday life and made it an angstful activity I do not need, want, or appreciate.

Buh bye MLB, NFL, and never watched NBA anyway.

Yup. A friend posted this earlier:

I just wanted to reminded everyone that first responders of 911 were not honored by the NFL last night

NBA Will Leave Social Justice Messages To Be ‘Delivered Off The Floor’ Amid Ratings Dive

Amid news that the NBA is clocking record-low ratings for the 2020 NBA Finals, league commissioner Adam Silver told NBA Countdown that professional basketball will leave social justice messages “off the floor” next season.The 2020 season, played in a “bubble” because of the coronavirus pandemic...

Too late NBA. You showed your true colors by doing it to begin with. Now, you are just trying not to lose money so you are changing your policy. Take a hike.

 

[Bigfoot]

The NBA just showed their hand... The NBA just revealed the truth of the matter.
Money is more important than bringing awareness to the "so called" oppression.
What the NBA is telling BLM is the color green is more important than the color black.
The NBA is telling their players and fans to go to the back of the bus...

Too. Fucking. Funny... LMFAO
