re: Matt Barnes: Some Lakers And Clippers Players Want Season Cancelled Amid Social Injustices

Why don’t these players and leagues wake the hell up and realize these sports are not required viewings. If they want to strike for injustices, or turn the sports in an infomercial that alienates millions of people, then have at it. The fans will then just have more time to do more productive things in their own life. The players will have to find a new way to make money. Who really has the leverage here?

If the NBA and NFL continue to screw this up I hope fans will keep them turned off. But maybe another sport will wise up and just play the game without all of the politics. Would be hilarious and send a strong message if the NHL gained millions of viewers that the other sports lost because they actually cared to respect the audience.
