Just as soon as the $$$$ run out I’d say.I'm wondering .... if the sports fans in America would and could actually go through with their threats of not watching (and actually living their own lives rather than living vicariously through the athletes), and the sports teams tanked ....
... Since blacks are over-represented in those venues ... how long before they called America / all former sports fans ... "RACISTS"??
I was pretty bummed out when the NCAA basketball tournament was cancelled. Since getting used to the idea of a world without sports entertainment, I've learned I can live without it. Plenty of other things to do to keep busy.
Dang Rubline…..how'd you know all that? You spying on me or something?I think you meant to say plenty of other things that your wife tells you to do to keep busy.
What I think is sad is that while many of us have found other things to occupy our time in a good way, the youth today have lost what in many ways used to be a family gathering time. I can't even count how many times my dad and I, or on certain days my dad would invite the whole family over, and watch the Miami Dolphins or Miami Hurricanes play a big game. There would often be 3 generations (a couple times 4) of a family cooking, eating, watching the game, then cleaning up and finishing by playing cards and either bragging about the win or complaining about why the team lost. This goes on throughout our entire country, EVERY time certain teams play. Gatherings, spectator-ship, emotions and family wide high fives or pillow diving "NOOOOO!"s have been around for a long time.
Trying to boycott, or even overcome that established routine imho will take a lot more than a % of people no longer following. Sadly, I feel that most kids now just replaces LIVE sports with their video games. Like Tip stated, we won't amount to a hill of beans in the end game.
Well... if you boycott, then you are racist already. So my guess is it wouldn’t take very long.I'm wondering .... if the sports fans in America would and could actually go through with their threats of not watching (and actually living their own lives rather than living vicariously through the athletes), and the sports teams tanked ....

Sports?
Just when we may get some pro leagues in play we get demands for apologies from the players for our past boycotts or from the leagues for not supporting .......
Saquon, OBJ, Mahomes Demand NFL Admit They Wrongly 'Silenced' Protesters Like Kap
The biggest names in the NFL -- from Patrick Mahomes to Odell Beckham to Saquon Barkley and more -- just dropped a powerful message demanding the league admit it wrongly silenced protesters like Colin Kaepernick.www.tmz.com
Do they not realize that the world just figured out how "essential" pro sports were?
Yes I still care. I have never cared what their politics is/was/will be. I like and watch the physical competition. I did not stop watching the Olympics because they had Communist nations compete. Athletes are people and leagues are made up of lots of them. There are people from all sides of the political isle just like anywhere else. They have the same rights to speak as the rest of us do.. and I have the right to ignore them, which I do on the regular.
Gundy vows changes after talk with RB Hubbard

So what are your thoughts on those that say “I wish ESPN/the athletes would stick to sports?”Again...a moderate is just someone who isn't willing to take a strong stance on something. Saaaaaad. Baaaaaaaaaa.
I have had the privilege of playing for a handful of very successful football coaches, and personally knowing a few more. They all tend to be cut from the same cloth. They're highly opinionated but all have conveyed that an important part of the job is that you don't want to convey too much about what you personally think. Say nothing about politics or anything else, and speak in circular cliches to boosters, the press, parents.Yes, only “proper” venues are tolerated,,,otherwise you get bad social media exposure
Again...a moderate is just someone who isn't willing to take a strong stance on something. Saaaaaad. Baaaaaaaaaa.
And these are just a limited number of athletes showing up for workouts, wait until 20-30K students show up on campus. Wife is a professor and she is hearing of students taking the fall semester or entire school year off until everything passes.reading some espn scroll in a restaraunt last evening makes me think college football season is in jeopardy.
