Let me explain. There's nothing to do in Kansas City. On Sunday EVERYONE wears red. Not just those at the game. Pretty much everyone in the entire city. It gives them a purpose and a sense of being part of something. When they won the SuperBowl - it was a big deal for everyone in the city. (Unlike in San Francisco, where they have dedicated fans, but plenty of people who do not care at all)
The people want to go to the games because they look forward to it. They don't want these BLM protests in THEIR good time. So instead of leaving the games, they boo and hope it will go away. They can't sell their season tickets - as they'd never get them back. Their one good time in KC would vanish.
Not saying their thinking is right. That's how it is there.
Maybe they could spend their time doing something else that gives them a purpose and a sense of being part of something? Like maybe, I dunno, setting foot in church? Hiking? Fishing? Family time? Barbecues?
I see this sentiment everywhere, but why are we trying to dictate how people spend their free time, isn't that what the other side wants to do? As long as it's not hurting anyone, it shouldn't matter. And are you implying you can't go to a game with your family? Ever go to a ballgame with your dad? That's an American institution.
I will agree that if athlete worship goes away as a result of this, it's a good thing, however.

Not really the motto of a great people or country.
Not picking on you of course. But I think we need to regain our will power and cultural confidence.
