Would I have to actually watch or otherwise support professional sports first? I haven't seen any sports since 2016.

I was never a big sports fan to start with. But I used to watch the playoffs and championships but since they went political a few years back I have refused to watch any game. So I've already boycotted games and Nike.

I watch NASCAR, NHRA, and college football( and they are on probationary status to see How dumb it gets). No nfl, no baseball, and no basketball. If those leagues let stupidity in their sport then so be it but I ain’t participating.

Guess I won't be watching the Donco's either. Didn't plan on watching much, but if they kneel, I won't watch. More than likely, I won't be watching any NFL games.

It has been decades since i attended or watched any professional sport.

Lots of better ways to spend my free time, especially since suppressors are available.

"dumb rich jock " Therin lies the problem, plus, rich team owners that would sell their souls for a winning team, and justifying bad, and or stupid behavior of the dumb coddled jocks to get there.

Contracts can be written to end the insanity, but , that might mean not signing a coddled from birth athlete....

So vote with your dollars, refuse to pay for, watch, or care about these elitest rich kids... it's not a game anymore anyway, it's a mega money corporate swindle of your hard earned money...

It's been at least three seasons since I watched any NFL games (Not For Long). I used to be a fan of NFL games (National Felon's League) but after the sports side was overtaken by the leftest politics I can't bring myself to watch any. I occasionally watched baseball but they too have gone to the left publicly and their politics, just like all the NFL and NBA are so pro fascism/BLM/Anti-American that no pro sports are seen in my house. If I need a football fix, College football seems to be sorts oriented so I'll watch them, maybe...

My little "protest" may go completely unnoticed by the world, but I feel better about not watching pro sports, not buying/wearing Levis, haven't eaten at McDonalds in nearly 30 years, and I'll cut my feet off or go barefoot the rest of my life rather than don a pair of Nikes...

when they kneel before the marxist banners, they deny Christ, and they deny EVERYTHING that our country is founded on, and they worship satan. literally, they are worshipping satan.

so, yeah, that's a very good reason to reject them and their gods, and what they are selling.

I played baseball for free... as a kid, in high school and while in the service (including fast and slow pitch softball in city and company leagues), and enjoyed every minute of it. Even having ankles stepped on with steel cleats, back in the day... and having knees wrenched and banged up. But... pro sports has turned me off for a very long time. The MLB strike many years ago was the crowning achievement of stupidity, until today's teams are so afraid of players purposely not playing to their potential to get their self-centered, egotistical way... they allow themselves to be blackmailed into letting the players run their business... no thanks. I won't support advertisers that still advertise with the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NASCAR.

NASCAR lost me many years back... when they quit using stock bodied cars. When you could no longer tell what model car was being raced, it ceased to be "Stock Car Racing". It pretty much appears to be one design car, with engine restrictions so severe, you might as well use one brand and size engine. Why pretend it's Ford, vs Chevy, vs Toyota, etc.

1. I won’t watch any sport or other televised event where they allow anti-American so-called ‘protests’.

2. Whenever I can find a contact for the organization or the television network airing the program, I sent them a letter letting them know specifically that I am 100% done watching that kind of stuff.

Without doing the second step, it doesn’t do a whole lot of good, although it is nice to see them ring their hands when the ratings decrease.

You know what's really intolerable to me? Whenever an American's right to protest against whatever they wish is denied, so long as they are doing no violence to anyone. I don't have to agree with them or even listen to them -- or watch a stupid football game.

"I am fed up with arrogant, ignorant, entitled jerks from the entertainment industry (movies, TV, sports) using their celebrity to push their hate filled agendas just because they have access to the biased media, who also support their causes, while the true American position of tolerance is largely ignored because the average citizen doesn't have the same access and the biased media wouldn't run a story about the truth even if it fell on them."

Why boycott sports (I certainly do now) and otherwise support all the rest of it. I guess it's off topic to suggest not watching television at all?

Welcome to the fire long_steve... :D yes with so-called sport stars and movie and TV people talking anti patriotic nonsense it's hard to enjoy watching anything.

It must be part of being a levergunner. I never have had much use for stick and ball sports.

I do watch some motorsports but limit NASCAR to a couple tracks I still enjoy. Real racing is done on two wheels. Either AFT or any roadracing.

I can't even boycott movies. Haven't been to a theater in over 25 years.
