#1 They are neither 'children' nor 'professionals'. I will leave it at that.

#4 Go nuts for professional sports!
Watch a fortunate few non-aborts
Perform for a crowd
With no balls, loud and proud,
In their time off from feelz and the courts!

#5 People who want to let others do their thinking for them will usually seek out the worst possible individuals to fill that role.

#6 The only people hurt by all this are indentured taxpayers caught with paying off huge sports complexes foisted upon them by mayors, city councils, and sports fanatics to provide recreational facilities for millionaires.

#8 Well I had given up on everything except Major League Baseball and now that’s gone
Last fall professional football showed signs of returning to sanity but that’s gone
My alma mater one of the most conservative places in the galaxy had the football team stage a boycott and is still trying to remove the statue of the school’s founder because he was a Confederate general even though he he was openly and vocally anti slavery
What’s a man to do when everyone is going crazy over a shooting 2000 miles away
This BLM stuff is getting to the point you can’t arrest a black or even stop one for speeding
Fourteen percent of our population is driving our nation crazy and the white guilt and white privilege crowd are joining in
Reminds me of the upheaval in France before DeGaulle was elected when he said “it is me or the abyss”
Pretty much where we are with Trump you may hate his style and his politics and his way of doing business but it is him or the end of the United States

#9 It's the culmination of years and years of white liberal/Leftists pronouncing almost every little thing is "racist" to the point of almost fear to say or do anything. No logical discussion or argumentation, no fair or honest assessment of history, and utter disregard for facts and statistics (e.g., crime perpetration, police shootings). Indeed, 14% of the population (below Hispanics now, perhaps) causing grief. Not all, of course. And the kow-tow'ing of corporations, professional sports, etc., pathetic. Not unexpected, but pathetic nonetheless.

I can only hope that when professional sports finally re-open the gates for fan attendance that there me many more empty seats. Many more.

#10 Daily Beast article accidentally kicks the cat by confirming it is all corporate sloganeering and committee focus group polls.

That isn't fight the power.

That's do what the power says or else.

#12 The next round of negotiations with the TV networks could be very interesting indeed if their ratings keep tanking the way they have been...and of course on "boycott" nights, the number of viewers is literally zero. Not much ad revenue from that.

#13 Televised Cornhole and Bowling tournaments might be about as good as it gets.

#14 PJMedia are the people who will screech "That is not who we are!" if somebody actually does anything about any of this.

#15 IMO the problem will take care of itself. The fan base will dry up along with the big money. These pro athletes are killing the golden goose.
