But it's not. The NFL, NBA, MLB have all made that very clear. It's not about sports at all.
Don't forget the NHL, on the reboot they had "We Play for Black Lives" plastered everywhere along with BLM. That wasn't good enough, 7 black players started a blm type organization called the HDA, "Hockey Diversity Alliance. They are trying to extort the NHL into giving them 100 million dollars for their causes including anti-racist struggle sessions

Nope. They don't care. Have you seen the fans in the stadium. Have you even been in one. This is about sports, not morals. Stay home, it won't matter. Everyone just wants sports back.
No, that's the point. The leagues are making it about politics. A lot of people have found they don't need sports, and a huge number of those who looked forward to their return do not want their sports turned into a celebration of pro-black racism. This is the sports leagues giving their fans a giant middle finger after months of tough times. The NFL suffered when Kaepernick injected in-your-face racism into the sport a few years again, and the cost to the NFL will be ten times that this time.
Everyone saying they won't watch are not die hard football fans. They just want to watch football, they don't care about anything else. People just want sports back. Fantasy football is huge. And most people get into the football pools whether they follow the sport or not. The survivor pool is really popular. My son won $1500. Trust me, football won't suffer
I don't do pools, but I was a season ticket holder (2 tickets) for a losing team since the 70s. Is that die hard enough?
I stopped buying tickets when the take a knee crap started.
I watched (but not a seat holder, we don't have a team) NBA until they got political
If I want to watch politics, I'll watch Fox or CNN

Trump made it about politics not the leagues. But don't watch if you have a problem with it.
