It fascinates me that they think anybody gives a flying - f about pro sports about now - especially as demonstrated by the falling ratings. They remain legends in their own minds.

I invite them to quit playing permanently. They can either be replaced with tier 2 athletes who aren't sjws and would be just as exciting for viewers to watch or the whole televised sports industry can shrivel up and become meaningless. Either option is fine with me.

You mean like pro sports BEFORE athletes were coddled like royalty and were grateful to their fans for enabling them to pursue a career they love?

Just support your local high school teams, it's actually fun to watch and you get to be drunk around a lot of other people that are also drunk and having a good time

Uh...your high school games are apparently a lot more lit than ours. Drug free school zones are taken pretty seriously up north. Not that no one sneaks in anything but they are pretty clean overall.

Right? I rebuilt the enclosed back porch, fixed the fence, powerwashed the house, refinished some furniture, built a fish tank stand with my son. cleaned out the garage and made a list of indoor jobs for when the weather turns. Amazing how much one can find time for when 15 hours a week of NFL is cut off the schedule.

I’d rather watch local High School sports.

Exactly! This again? Hello! Aren’t your PATHETIC RATINGS enough to tell you NO ONE CARES what you self righteous kneelers say or think? GET OVER YOURSELVES YOU PRETENTIOUS PRICKS!

BE GONE!

Haha. 100%. Because throwing tantrums is a sure way to win over your lost fan base. Everything is a threat to these morons.

I’d be so happy if 50-80% of people just stopped watching professional sports, Hollywood movies, buying Sony games, watching TV News, and anything that had any SJW postmodern political nonsense in it. Hell, have people stop using Facebook and Twitter too, and searching for things on Google. Have the whole thing just fucking collapse under them. Let the jesters know their place. They are entertainers. They are no longer entertaining. Hell, at this point they’re abusive and weird. Let that whole thing fucking collapse. Boycott all of it. Watch LeBron, Ellen, Brie Larson types, the Anderson Coopers, the Trevor Noahs, the The Last of Us 2s, and all the rest become immediately irrelevant.

Whether or not Trump wins, that is something we can all very easily do. It’s very easy not to indulge in that shit.

Athletes might stop playing

Just another unexpected Trump victory, IMO

This should be a troll campaign!

“Learn to code“ messaging For athletes everywhere. SM, press conferences, drafts....

Would be hilarious!

You brilliant bastard.

This needs to happen.

Especially if they themselves start coming out and SAYING they won't play as some delusional appeal to people to not vote for the President.

Exactly my thoughts

If ever you needed proof your jobs don’t matter ... during the not needed shut down we got by just fine without going to movie theaters or watching sports.
