Baseball sucks on TV anyways.

Great for napping.

Not quite as good as NASCAR, but it'll do.

All of you that say you're "done" with the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc are still going to watch. Maybe not for a little while, but you're going to.

But these proclamations are so brave.

I was more referring to if you don’t want to see anyone kneel but to your point, words on the mound are also incredibly easy to ignore.

It’s crazy how deeply afraid most people here are to face or even try to accept the fact that generation upon generation of enslaving black people and then afterwards treating them less than human has resulted in such a blatant violation of basic human rights and that we still haven’t addressed it hundreds of years later.

The fear runs so deep that you all would rather turn from the things you would otherwise love and then have to run to all of your other uneducated buddies to look a big man making a statement.

I watch games and I pay zero attention to what’s written on the field.

Means zero to me, so their little antic to try to teach me some sort of lesson didn’t work.

Don’t care. Still watching baseball. As far as I’m concerned, BLM doesn’t concern me and it never will.


This.

I have many friends that quit watching the NFL after the kneeling started. And they supposedly love football. Makes no sense to me. I could give a flying frick what the players do before kickoff, on their off time, or what's marked on the field or on their uniforms. The rest doesn't affect me at all. So I don't care.

I probably really will quit watching the NFL after Brees and Payton are gone. My urge to just watch random football that I don't care about has naturally diminished over the years.

It's not a completely political thing, but that doesn't help. I mean, at this point I'm picking one overpaid wackjob who talks trash about my ancestors over another.

As for college football, I hate it now. It's all "muh SEC" and fans who bought a stupid hat with a pig or a T on it at Wal-Mart.

Don't stop there, Cochise. Cancel all TV and streaming media. Because I hate to tell you, but you can't outrun it. Go get a library card because that's all that is left for the Boycott Crowd now.

Most of the figs on here criticizing my decision have never worn the uniform, saluted the flag or seen their brothers draped in it. So frick right off.

I wasn't doing this to virtue signal, merely lament the fact that a sport I enjoyed watching from childhood into adulthood was ruined.

Hey, don't quote me!

I'm trying to watch, but that OP fricker canceled his subscription instead of broadcasting his login info.

That's a lot of judgement for someone that doesn't want to be bombarded with Antisemitism and Marxist messages while watching a baseball game.

Cancelled mine 2 years ago after MLB expanded their blackout regions of many teams including 2 I liked to follow. I subscribed because I wasn’t paying for cable television and I wanted to watch baseball. . . I called and asked why I was blacked out and they blamed it on television rights for the teams. All said and done, I could only watch 17 teams with a subscription of MLB Premium. What if I wanted to watch Any game anytime anywhere... it became a waste of money.

These feelings and memories are so powerful that a couple words on a pitcher’s mound can “ruin” it for you?

Come on now.

Ohhhhhh, so you're that soldier, huh?

I see now. How do you feel about Stars and Stripes swimsuits made in Bangladesh? You don't care about the flag. You may care about America but not the flag. Stop being a baby.
