I wonder why no sports leagues cancelled games when a black man shot a 5 yr old white boy in the head

[IDBillzFan]

I think major sports are about to find out that a majority of their fans follow sports to escape the rest of the world

 

Bringing the rest of the world to sports is going to be a bad idea.

 

That said, I really don't know anyone who follows baseball and basketball any more. Just NFL and hockey.

Yet another badly thought out Left Wing protest.  Exactly when will it be OK to start playing again? Is there an etiquette for duration of sitting out? One game per death? (At least hockey players are used to spending time in the sin bin.)

Back to no sports. 

 

I have really loved NHL playoffs this year.

Me too. I was making money hand over fist on Bovada.

I think it was the MLS who wrote in a memo to fans that they are not here to distract you from the real world but to force you to deal with it. I would literally watch sports 350 days a year as my escape, but this decision tells you these guys think they are far more important than they are.

I was out on the NHL when they flew in a Canadian citizen who was not playing the game to kneel for the US national anthem and stand for the Canadian National anthem.

Remember when athletes would leave the game to go fight for our country? Ted Williams, prime example, those days are long over with.

I cannot believe the NHL.  They barely hang on as a major league sport (for what it is worth, i love hockey), you see the NBA dying before your eyes and a "group of black players" ask you to postpone to "demonstrate the importance of social justice activism" and they think that will win over fans?

This tweet may as well go here:

When do they restart?  When a different outrage happens?

One thing I've learned from these pandemic lockdowns is that I really don't miss sports all that much. I follow mainly the NFL and NHL, but honestly if the NFL follows suit and cancels or postpones games? Meh.

Why thank you spoiled, self-absorbed, millionaires who play a game for a living!!  Thank you for making me "take notice"!!   What a great contribution you've made to society!

Or at all.  It's Aug 27th and I'm not the least bit excited for football season.  The other sports?  Other than golf majors, they can disband the rest of the leagues for all I care.

I'm the same, though I'd be bummed if the Bills don't get a full season this year. Then again, the Billsy-est thing that could happen is for the sport to implode just as the Bills finally become legit contenders. It's almost poetic.

 

 

 

That's been a running joke with my brothers this whole off season.

I doubt the leagues realize that the boomers are still their life blood.  I don't think the next generations are as willing to buy premium seats & TV packages like us old geezers.  The sports leagues are about to go through a reckoning like old media just went through

They’ve been trying for years.  The Giants actually even rescinded his invitation to participate in the World Series reunion.

 

He doesn’t care, and refuses to be cancelled.
