Or will football, basketball and baseball be ruined? It's getting out of control and owners can't enforce any rules. If they keep kneeling, walking off courts, putting BLM on everything, and whining and complaining during press conferences....I'm done. I pay to watch sports, not a bunch of millionaire babies who are "oppressed" and "scared for their lives"

When salaries plummet back to the 70\80s levels and guys think twice about wasting their meal ticket.

Oh, and on top of all this, you can't go to any games because of the deadliest virus ever to exist.

I wouldn't mind athletes speak up about politics and social issue if they care about the truth. Unfortunately they don't. All they care is getting attention to themselves at the expense of self denial.

UFC and Golf have been wonderful. No bullshite politics or wokeness, just coverage of the sport.

Super Rugby in New Zealand and Australia has been great. Fans in the stands too.

Don’t give a shite about golf but think Dana white is the best “commissioner” in sports. Dude knows how to run his business and control narratives from the media or any malcontent fighters. He is by far one of my favorite sports personalities.

UFC is awesome. Never thought I’d be a fan but it’s great. I’m hooked.

Naw naw naw. New doors are opening. Throw horseshoes with friends and neighbors, fish, drink good beer and throw rocks at birds. The options are limitless.
