Boycotting all sports

... except maybe golf. But, all sports have large elements of BLM in them. Don't want anything to do with them anymore.

I'm not a baseball or hockey fan so I don't really care what they do but at this point in all of this I'd be just fine with zero football this year. If all they are going to do is virtue signal and slob the knob of BLM then I won't be watching even if it comes on.

So you don’t support organizations who support an organization whose avowed goal is to topple our system of governance & economy?

I’m pretty much done as well and I never thought I would say that. I’m still excited for baseball but that could change as well.

horse racing and mma has been good.

At the rate things are going there may not be any sports to boycott. Or what we will have won't be worth watching.
Posted on 7/9/20 at 9:06 am to CFFreak
I won’t. I can’t. When they are on the field they are playing and you can’t hear any of them talking about whatever. For the NFL I won’t tune in until after the start of the game because I’m not watching the virtue signaling pregame. I don’t think colleges will do anything different from the traditonal gameday festivities. I don’t think baseball will either. The NFL will be the worst. And I don’t watch the NBA so I don’t have to worry about that bullshite.

I don’t watch the NBA so I technically can’t boycott them. A shame really.
Will boycott the NFL, Dixie Beer, and all Benson owned dealerships.
But will BUYCOTT LSU sports! I will attend with purple and gold politically messaged T-shirts.
Daughter has a Cricket! How about:
LSU is Great
And
BLM is Racist!

They're banking on a future where Honkies are extinct, because that's what their advisors are telling them the future IS.
One thing that the past few years have taught me... and especially the past three weeks... is that corporations are utter whores that would step over the bodies of Tutsis in order to sell more stuff to Hutus.

hockey is great. you are missing the second best sport to football. can't wait for baseball either. neither has been tampered with like NFL and NBA in regards to BLM.

Hockey intrigues me, and on the surface it appears to be a BLM/ANTIFA-free sport, but I just know that as soon as I become interested, it'll migrate there as well. So, not even gonna bother.

I get it but I can't understand how anyone wasn't aware that their middle class white life experience and that of most athletes up to the point that they became multi-millionaires is in any manner similar. Anyone playing college football at a high level, for example, even if they came from a middle class nuclear family, had an very different experience in life than most people....they were coddled and treated like heroes their entire life, most likely....they are very likely to have much higher opinion of themselves than most people, therefore mistakenly thinking their thoughts and opinions are more valid and interesting. To think they didn't support things you would be opposed to is naïve....they did this last year also and I bet you were watched every game. I personally wish I could give up college football...it is very time consuming and expensive....but I ain't fooling myself, I am a junkie and need a fix!

They are banking on reality....they're customer base is not comprised of middle aged white people exclusively....most people in this country are indifferent to BLM and some support the idea in some fashion....it is a small minority who are offended and it would be a foolish business that pandered to the few at the expense of the many.
I have a good friend who sincerely thinks automakers only want black people to but cars because they use black actors in some ads. It really disturbs him for some reason. He is not overtly racist, anymore than most of us, but he will comment on the fact that black folks are like 12% of the population but are in almost all car ads. He is also offended by ads with same sex couples in them.
It ain't a personal attack...a publicly owned business has a legal responsibility to make as much money as possible. That means attracting as much business as possible. They are willing to lose the died in the wool person who is offended by such things to attract more of the people who are indifferent or not offended or even supportive. Y'all have the option of starting your own business which does not do this....start a bank that is ideologically pure enough for you.....who knows, you may prove to the world that you aren't in the minority.
