I watched a couple of Dallas Stars games over the long weekend. So far, that’s been it......no baseball, basketball or football to this point.

I'll watch the hogs from my couch. They've actually stayed out of a lot of the madness.


Pay for tickets? Hell no.

I doubt I'll be watching much and it's not all political. While politics has some to do with it I have also felt like in recent years that athletes and the various leagues have gotten too big for their britches and are overestimating their importance. I don't care to be lectured by people just because they can run fast or throw or catch a damn ball and I'll be damned if I'll support them.

I'm sure they can carry on just fine without me but I know for sure I can carry on just fine without them. For me it's the principle of the matter and whether or not my not watching makes any difference is beside the point.

Aggie football and probably a few SEC games.

No pro sports, college game day or sportscenter, though.

When I said sports, I primarily meant college sports. I don’t watch NFL anyway.

PGA season starts this weekend and it should be an interesting MLB postseason.

No pro-sports and certainly no shows like College Gameday. With LSUs recent BLM mess, I’m thinking no on that, unfortunately.

Ironically, I hated the Orgeron hire. Now, the only reason I’d watch LSU is O.

I’ve had a lot of fun watching local high school streams. I’m gonna kill a lot of deer, ducks, hogs and time in the woods this year. I’m looking forward to it

I'm concentrating on my new favorite pastimes- learning to code and figuring out things to do to help destroy ESPN financially.

I'll stick with watching the reruns from last year before all this started. When those peter out I'll move on to the PBR and rodeos.

Well that's fine for you.

For me, I wanted to watch sports for, you know, the sports.

Instead, they're turning it into a pander fest for Marxist Propaganda.

19 years ago after the worst terror attack on US soil in history, NFL and College football players ran out onto the fields holding high the stars and stripes, standing united against a common enemy-

EVIL.

Today, the next generation of these athletes refuses to stand for that same flag, while they openly support the organizations that are rioting, assaulting bystanders, looting, setting fires, murdering, burning the American flag and carrying banners through the streets that say:

quote:

DEATH TO AMERICA!


You're supporting that shite by watching it. frick them all.

UFC has not bowed down. Definitely recommend people to get into it. They also have weekly fight nights on Saturdays (along with PPV’s once every five weeks)
