bilzfancy Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I wonder why no sports leagues cancelled games when a black man shot a 5 yr old white boy in the head 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 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. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 17 minutes ago, Tiberius said: Back to no sports.

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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 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: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other sports? Other than golf majors, they can disband the rest of the leagues for all I care. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants actually even rescinded his invitation to participate in the World Series reunion. He doesn’t care, and refuses to be cancelled.
