Sports Are Dead | |
Deplorable Zenobia  User ID: 25022811  United States09/04/2020 05:31 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sports used to be a pure arena - free from such other crap but always became skewed when big $$ got involved. Reason why i always loved the Olympics but even that became corrupted. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking.

Sports evolved from simple baseball and football to the whacked out, wildly overpaid, wildly over expensive and political tool it is today. I say walk away and never look back.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79303194 United States09/04/2020 07:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nope. I'm conservative as they come, but also a HUGE sports fan, and I'm not going to let politics get in the way of my enjoyment of pro sports. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77225709 And I'm sure most sports fans feel the same way. We can tune out the "BLM" stuff, while still enjoying the games If there is any "boycott" of sports it will be no more than 5-10% of fans, and only for a short while I need my NFL "fix", and can't wait for this season to start ... Go Chiefs!  |

Olympics black US athletes raised they're fists in the "Black Power" salute politics have always been a part of sports Oh you're very correct, sir/madam. I saw firsthand the slaughter of a certain nation's athletes in the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich. I was young but understood that it was a turning point where even the Olympics would forever be tainted. This was not over $$ as it was about spilling blood. Where are the athletes like Bobby Jones, one of the best golfers to ever pick up a club and he never turned pro?! He did it for the love of the game.

Go Chiefs! Good Sheep. Now sit. I'll bet none of you dorks who hate sports ever played varsity ball in high school -- and always got picked last when you were forced to play in PE class ... LOSERS Look bro, we know you're riding the high of the KC Chiefs winning the last SB, just take solace that it was probably the last SB  |
