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

I hope all the leagues that sided with these terrorists suffer tremendous, irreparable losses. I truly wish all these leagues nothing but the worst.

I'm aware. And my first love is hockey growing up here in Herb Brooks' neighborhood (I played since I was 5 yo myself).


Diversity is poison...that is the message I've taken away from those unimpressive goons.

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.

That's right, and you will see a 15-20% drop in the ratings this year.

I don't care. I stopped watching NFL when Snyder took over in D.C.

I watch collegiate.

We'll see how ratings suffer. Oh first NASCAR, then NBA, next MLB and coming to a stadium near you- NFL.

The horrors of racial justice. What. A. Horror.

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.
