I watch sports to escape not get more leftist indoctrination. I get enough of that at work.
I might put up with it for football, but not baseball or basketball.

Sometimes you must give up things, even that you personally enjoy.
I had great season tickets for my local NFL team in the lower bowl, on the 47 yard line. Even when I couldn't go to the games, I could sell them for well above the listed ticket price.
When the fools started kneeling during the national anthem, I didn't want to give up on a sport I really enjoyed. So I hoped that the NFL would crack down on the fools.
Instead they capitulated to them, offering to give their causes all sorts of money. I told my friends I was giving up the tickets, and they didn't believe me. They said at bare minimum I should keep and sell them to make money off them.
They obviously didn't understand the principle I was standing for. So while most agreed with me about it being disrespectful to the country, military, cops, and the fans, they loved the game too much to give up their tickets.
So some people talk a good game, but when it comes to sacrificing something they like on principle, they are all talk, and no action.
That is how things slowly devolve into the degradation of society.
I no longer even watch the NFL on TV, so as to not support the league via viewership (which the cable box stats monitor to help to create greater revenue when it comes time to negotiate TV contracts and sponsor premiums).
The only time I ever see it, is when I am in a sports bar, but even then, I am not going there to watch the games.
Frankly I thought I would miss it much more than I do.
Now I have gotten to the point I don't know who is the QB for half the teams, what their record is, etc.
To hell with them.
