No but saying that the company deserves to go out of business while saying that you are not going to patron them, is cancel culture. Many conservatives have said exactly that in regards to the NFL, NBA and MLB.
Saying you hope they go out of business is just an opinion. Creating an actual movement to put them out of business is actually cancelling them.
Maybe San Diego isn't broadcasting the parts where players kneel in submission, boost the rioters and thugs etc.
I wonder how much their viewership has dropped since last year? Compared to how much other teams (who ARE broadcasting the surrenders) viewership have dropped since then?
I can just imagine BLM surrenderers kneeling on the field during the National Anthem, only to realize later that the TV broadcasters didn't show it on TV... and with nobody allowed in the stands due to Covid, NOT ONE PERSON SAW THEIR SILLY PROTEST.
Restaurants, airlines and schools are not things people stuck at home can utilize.
Baseball, on the other hand, is usually part of a basic cable package.
Since so many of us that have watched every single episode of Mike and Molly, Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory over the past several months, live sports should be drawing record views, no?
Baseball in particular hasn't worked out that well, very disjointed with the teams contracting the virus. The NHL playoffs have worked out pretty well but they are playing in a bubble and it draws more interest because its the playoffs.
We will see how football fares but I imagine it will be much like baseball, football players are not very good at adhering to rules.

You’re right. It is cancel culture, but unlike liberals it’s against organizations that are supposed to cater to people for business rather than individuals targeted for wrongthink. I don’t care if the NBA, NFL, and MLB want to support a divisive terrorist group that has caused economic mayhem and actually gotten people killed, but if they do I have the choice to not support them.
Put it this way. Every time you try a new food and don't like the taste, you decide not to eat it again. Is that cancel culture or just a personal decision that you don't like it so you won't buy it to eat it again? Now if you didn't like the taste and decided to go on social media to organize a wide scale campaign to put the company who made the food out of business, that would indeed be cancel culture.
anecdotally, my husband who has been a rabid yankees fan since he was 6 years old hasn't watched a single yankees game this year. he still reads about the games in the sports pages, but doesn't watch them.
