    All pro sports have been dead to me for several years and now you can add NASCAR and College football to that list.
    Haven't watched a pro NFL game in 6 years. Now I don't watch/follow any of it.

    About the only sports, I watch anymore is College Football. I use to enjoy ML Baseball (Braves) but, the pandemic has put the squash on that sport. And now ML Baseball's political stand is making me question if I'll even follow that any longer. I don't believe there is any room in sports for politics.

    Lots of serious action at our local sprint car track. No political action; not yet. Ditto on the rest.

    Yes - pro sports are dead to me too. Never a big NFL fan but I would watch a game every once in a while - that ended several years ago with the kneeling crap. You couldn't pay me to watch an NBA game. I quit baseball just a week ago when several players and a couple of teams sat out a game to support BLM. That is the hard one - been an StL Cardinal fan since I was a kid. Nobody had AC back then so everybody spent the evenings outside where things were a little cooler. Most everybody had a transistor radio and we would listen to Harry Carey and Jack Buck do the games on that 50,000-watt monster radio station KMOX.

    Cardinals have been a part of my life ever since. The only reason I HAD CABLE was to watch Cardinal baseball. I say HAD because I canceled that today. No reason for me to have cable if I'm not going to watch them. I stopped when a couple of their spoiled rotten players refused to take the field for a game a week ago. I love my country more than I do baseball so they had to go.

    So they can all go to he**. Most of these sports teams are playing in buildings paid for by the taxpayer. The government should take those stadiums back and hand em to the homeless. I hope all the bastards end up going broke.

    If I was the owner of a sports team I would sue the miserable sob players who take a knee or support BLM while wearing my team's uniform. All they are doing is destroying their team's value and chasing away fans. Why not sue ahole LeBron?

    Baseball was dead to me after the strike and Football after last years silliness. The round ball ( basketball) and I have never seen eye to eye. Every single one of them regardless of color can do without my money or time. I never have ever really enjoyed being the cheers in somebody else game unless it's kids. I will miss College football.

    Also, when NASCAR became the equivalent of pro-wrestling on wheels , I said its dead to me. too--stock cars, its the biggest lie in sports--if you can't buy the car from a dealer --IT AIN'T A STOCK CAR

    I won't get started because the Moderator would BAN me for life for what I would say.

    Only thing I will say is I WAS a NASCRAP fan until ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is my way of saying go to hell. Roger C.
