Sadly, not enough people will quit watching. Sports is like an addiction, and I don’t know why that isn’t talked about. People are too addicted to sports to quit watching. Same for watching hollyweird movies. Same for buying cheap shit made in China. I guarantee you these sports leagues wouldn’t be SJW if they thought they would lose money. They know they won’t. They have people that study the markets and society. They know they won’t lose much, and they’ll make up the difference with their advertisers who also support the nonsense.

If my hubby n his 2 bros could give up Giants Football after watching it every week for their whole lives anyone can give up sports!

Indeed, anyone CAN. just like a druggie CAN give up crack, or an alcoholic CAN give up booze. Just not enough people WANT to.

I'd agree that addictions are like that but keep in mind some addicts and alcoholics have a physiological dependency.

There’s a physiological aspect to sitting on your ass and doing nothing while watching sports.

RegularAmerican 1 point ago +1 / -0

Yes but if you cease watching sports your life will immediately improve. Stopping alcohol or certain drugs and meds cold turkey can kill some people. They need detox

The MLB will absolutely get smoked by being woke. They are trying to sell stakes to vegans not a good strategy in business. They are pandering to people that don't give them money. I love watching the Phillies and I won't watch a game until they denounce BLM I'll be telling them that Monday when I demand my refund for tickets I bought before the covid. I already gave up on the NFL because they are a joke.

I'm happy the NHL hasn't pandered to these Marxist cocksuckers. IDK what I'm gonna do if they try to get woke all of a sudden.

I dunno pede... a lot of people have given up watching... and that number is only going to grow with the bs happening now. And they are losing money. They already were before the "pandemic" and before their marxist supporting crap. It'll be even worse now.

We've said this over and over since the anthem kneeling started in the NFL. not only are they still doing it, but now it’s spreading to nascar, nba, mlb, hockey...you really telling ALL these organizations are making smoke that costs them billions of dollars? If this is such a bad idea, NFL would be bankrupt but now. They aren’t. And they never will be. People are addicted.

I quit watching the nfl back when the kneeling started. I never watched the other sports. Don’t accuse me of continuing to watch them. I didn’t fucking say that.

for the record I stopped watching years back when this crap started. It's just that they've taken it to a new level now, so a new level of commitment and calling them out is in order.

I was a life long Steelers fan. Born and raised in "The Burgh" but I quit them and the Neeling Faggots League. Burned my Steelers jersey and felt instantly better. We don't need sports, sports needs us.

Aye, MMA is growing strong and has a commissioner/ CEO/ owner/ whatever that’s a fan of Trump. It is my belief that martial arts are inherently based. The first thing taught is respect of your opponent, those teaching you, and your surroundings. Then you are taught to never be the aggressor in a dispute or to use your power/knowledge abusively. If society still believed these two basic principles, we would be much better off. Also, basic self defense on top of these principles is a pretty good thing to know too.

How about you stop watching sports all together regardless of whether they stop or not? They already don't care about you, but they certainly want you to keep paying. Just cut the ties permanently and go learn a new skill.

15
Dirk_Diggler 15 points ago +15 / -0

I am already there. Instead of dumping money into these professional sports, people should take that money and time and try to actually get into those sports and play them on a personal level as their hobby. It's got to be more fulfilling. Obviously, we all can't drop millions of dollars and drive Formula 1 cars, but maybe you can piece together your own fast car or go cart, or do it together with friends. Like to watch tennis? Get a racquet and ball, go play. Like baseball? Find a group of people to meet up with an play ad hoc games. Just do it for fun. Maybe there are other things you might have never watched but would participate in? For those who just exclusively just want to watch sports or don't want or can't participate in these activities? Go and watch these local athletes, help organize, or other positive community engagement.

That must be more rewarding than paying rip off prices to sit in a stadium or tv subscription, wearing a Jersey or memorabilia with other people's names on it, who obviously couldn't give a fuck less about their fans. Be part of the action, have fun. I can honestly tell you right now, I have no idea who won any recent world series, super bowl, Stanley cup, or whatever major sports awards or any athletes that were individually recognized and it hasn't affected my life in the slightest. Sports, for some people is just an unnecessary vice that makes people feel like they are part of something, but believe me they just want your money, meaningful participation is non existent. I say just figure out how to spend your money elsewhere on shit that is actually fulfilling for you.

marrkus_of_mrkopalj 5 points ago +5 / -0

I agree. I'd go a step further and suggest picking up an interesting hobby. GK Chesterton wrote once that there are two types of people, the boring and the bored. He spoke at length on the differences between the two but his glowing endorsement was of the man who is boring. Not because he is boring but because that man is totally and completely devoting himself to something that someone somewhere would find boring but the passion and devotion of that boring hobby is bewildering.

I know a guy who is really into sailing. Such that if you show the slightest interest in his passion, he'll talk your ear off for hours. At the root of it, the man has made sailing his hobby. He has studied books ten times over to learn the grammar of sailing. He invested in a boat, practiced, fine tuned his craft, stocked it full of provisions, and has regular adventures on the water, wrecked a couple times, created gadgets to assist in his craft. It is a passion that has carried him for nearly two decades. One of devotion and one of learning.

Now I'll be honest. I don't give a fuck if you watched the big game on Sunday. And I really don't care that your team won. You sat there and watched a game. I'm not impressed that you feel like your a part of some brotherhood called the 12th fan which asks no more of its members that to watch a game on TV. Maybe you'll talk about it around the water cooler.

I got some goofy hobbies that are my pleasure and they don't involve sportsball.

^This right here and parent comment above. Ween off mindless idiotbox and put the brain and body to work. Play a sport, read a book (history / economics), take a walk, play an instrument, volunteer, shoot a firearm, play dominos, master an art, take self defense, or collect signatures to recall governors. There's only one life to live, make it count.

You must do it. Hockey and football are my favorite sports, but I refuse to watch the NFL or even play Fantasy football. If the NHL sells out, I won't be watching either.

We all need to contact the NHL and let them know. I emailed my local team and gave them quotes straight from blm website and the blm founder and let them know I'm done if they kneel or acknowledge blm. I also told them they'd be shocked how many people will do the same. Not holding my breath though- I fully expect malarky game 1.

Severing ties to BLM isn't enough. They need to issue a public apology for supporting communism and then i'll think about supporting them again (applies to baseball only).

Watch your kids, grandkids, nieces nephews etc play organized sports. It's a lot of fun after they are like 8 years old or so and start gaining coordination and learning the games. Plus it's fun hanging out with other parents just keep away from the crazy ones.

Free feeds can be found if you're clever. Or, hold your nose and subscribe to ESPN+ for $5 / mo. But you could hardly be blamed for refusing to do so.

I'd probably drop dead from shock if Dana White were to ever start pandering to the left. Plus, MMA is the last real sport, far as I'm concerned. There are other promotions out there as well; Bellator, LFA, plenty of small regional outfits. Lots on the buffet.

LyingPonySoldier 4 points ago +4 / -0

The closest to "pandering" the UFC did was the card right after Floyd's death the PPV had a black screen with white letters simply saying "In Memory of George Floyd" up for like 5 seconds and that was it. Smart move - acknowledge the thing people have on their minds without getting preachy or trying to cram a message down the throats of people who are tuning in to escape the bullshit and watch grown men punch each other in the face.

Other than that, Dana unapologetically had a segment during the 25th anniversary to acknowledge what Trump has done for the sport. Sad that it's now a ballsy move to support the President and thank him for his role in NJ MMA in the early days.

(And I agree, MMA is the only real sport. In every other sport the guys really just wanna punch each other, so cut the crap and let them fight!)

Are you kidding? I never liked main stream sports before all this BS began. So they never got much out of me to begin with. Mainly for me it was more I preferred to just go out and play with a ball or go to a batting cage.

The only sports I really liked that are main stream and televised were motorsports. Even then I stopped caring about Nascar when it became less about the cars and more about the drivers. "Car of Tomorrow" ruined Nascar for me. I liked Nascar back when it was cars that were originally Chevys, Fords, Dodges, etc. back when it was doing what you could to get that extra couple laps or get that extra horse power or two. You know, the cars that were production cars at one point.

Lifelong SF giants fan. I'm done. That franchise tested me with the Aubrey Huff brush off, but this coordinated social pandering absolutely violates the separation of pro sports and politics. MLB might as well be cricket, as far as I'm concerned. To be clear, MLB changed, not me. And good luck in finding a fan to replace me, as if these actions will create 10 new fans for the thousands that have walked away.
