After all the crap Lebum and Steff spewed about the Anthem and Trump I think I will pop in Saving Private Ryan on this hallowed day rather than watch a bunch of cry baby millionaires throw a ball through a hoop.

I have the right to dislike their behavior. And I do. But if I'm a civil libertarian, I have to accept their right to behave in any legal manner they wish.

I go to every Iowa football game, home and away. I enjoy college football. I despise what a lot of the University of Iowa stands for.

I won't let their beliefs interfere with my entertainment.

As an aside, I've been to every Iowa - LSU game. Great fans, with few exceptions.

I enjoy the NFL and NBA. I watch for entertainment. I refuse to let the political views of anyone influence my choice of entertainment. Boycotting mainly hurts the owners ( they may deserve it for letting their employees tarnish their product) who are by and large business men who are successful in life.

The last time I watched an NBA finals was Celtics and the Lakers; Bird vs Magic.

I watch college football and basketball. I stopped watching pro football and basketball long before the anthem fiasco - that's just another reason for me not to watch.

I enjoy watching all professional sports because I admire talent and skill and these are some of the best athletes on the planet, so yeah I watch. Doesn't mean I support their personal agendas whatsoever though. Just like I watch a lot of awesome movies that come out of Hollywood. Same concept.

Quit watching after my Rockets got bounced in the WCF. Team SJW vs Team SJW doesn’t interest me

I have been catching the second half of each game. Pretty entertaining, even though there is plenty to dislike about their politics.

I look at it as a challenge.

It is weak to judge someone solely on their politics, that is exactly what the left does, and I have certainly been guilty of it in the past.

This is a good exercise to see if I can separate the person/game from their political views and still enjoy the event.

Game 1 was awesome, big lead blown in the 4th, a chance for each team to close it with a win, then OT.

Game 2 was a blowout.

Game 3 is back in Cleveland so it should be a good one.

So far the commentators have not gone into any political territory.
