#2 Player's decision. Alright, sounds like a common sense option. Please choose wisely. Hat tip to Mr. Hunt.

#3 This is eminently sensible and clear-headed policy in a time of madness, so I'm going with Bee.

#5 I'd rather he told his players to simply act professionally - it's a hell of a lot tougher to criticize that opinion.

#6 I just hope the TV ratings keep going lower and lower.

#8 The obvious thing that never seems to come up is these people are at work. Who else gets to initiate their working interaction with a political statement?

The Jiffy Lube guys or your accountant, bartender or waitress, not so much. I'm pretty sure they have strong feeling about a lot of things too.

Couple that with the glaring fact the athlete class has a cottage industry devoted their every move and moronic utterance on and off field and court.

#9 We are routinely told (with glee, by the usual suspects) that social media like Fartbork and Sh*ttah are free to censor any way they please because they are a private business. This is different exactly how? Hmmmm?

#10 Seems it's fake. Like most of Rense.com

#11 Too late. They showed their, as it were, true colors. Now I'd rather mow the grass with finger nail clippers than watch their strutting.

#12 It'd be nice if I could watch football again.

#14 Might be wishful thinking though. Still, making those players choose between BLM and their lucrative careers would be fun.

#15 B1G also starting up again soon, thanks to Trump and the pressure campaign mounted by the players & their parents

#16 Re# 5: "I'd rather he told his players to simply act professionally - it's a hell of a lot tougher to criticize that opinion."

When have they ever acted professionally?
