Might just have to do with them being like a third of your cable bill. To get ABC Family, HG TV and Discovery, I have to subsidize sports that I stopped watching in 1995 when Art Modell took my football team and I realized pro sports are a scam.

To see the greatest example of politically correct nonsense in sports you need look no further than NASCAR taking points earned on the race track away from Junior for something he said in the winner's circle. Perhaps Bloomberg will soon write about the demise of NASCAR and you're gonns have a hard time blaming that on liberals.
