I already have (for the most part).

I've got a stack of unplayed video games I need to get caught up on. Im good.

reply

I have tons of books, audio books, TV shows, movies, exercise, hanging with family to do.

Fuck sportsball, I'm busy.

reply

Aw, that's a shame. Millionaire basketball players not gonna play. Oh well.

i don't see the point.

I’m about done with them. If I want to watch politics I’ll turn on a cable news station.

They think they are invincible, and they think nobody will stop watching them. I never in my life thought there would be a time I didn’t care for sports, but I honestly don’t care about any of them right now.

What if you went out to a restaurant with your wife/husband, and the waitress/waiter said “before I take your order tonight, I’d like to talk to you about all of the social issues that are important to me for a while.”

How fun would that be??? How is that any different?

So totally stupid - the facts aren't yet even known.

They were going to boycott their playoffs. Did their agents talk to them about how much money stands to be lost?

Err, you know what. I think we can do more good by playing... yeah...

They should have boycotted.

I've already said bye to all three major sportsballs in the US.

UFC came back first and strong. No nonsense. I am comfortably now a one-sport fan.
I'm not boycotting or anything. I just honestly lost interest in politicized sports. Sports was supposed to be a place where people of varied beliefs could be comrades for a few hours and forget the B.S. of life. Now that it can't be that, it has little value.

Imagine going to your job and protesting something your bosses and managers have zero control over. What do you think would happen?

reply

Who cares? I didn’t even know they were having playoffs until the decided to walk out.
