According to Marc J. Spears of ESPN, the list includes:

I swear I can't boycott em anymore than I am. Don't watch it, don't buy the merch, don't even know who anybody is since maybe Jordan...

No football, basketball, even NASCAR - I stepped off when Tony Stewart stepped out of the Home Depot Chevy... Ain't been back since.

Screw them high dollar prima donnas.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Well, I never was much on pro sports since my childhood, and I ain't about to start now.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Tone-Deaf NBA Players Complain About Meals And Hotel Rooms Most Americans Can’t Afford
July 10, 2020 By Madeline Osburn
Quote
As America’s basketball superstars head into the National Basketball Association’s isolation “bubble” at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, for their delayed and shortened season, some have shared tone-deaf complaints on social media about their new living conditions.

Players are required to quarantine for two weeks before the league’s July 30 relaunch, meaning they must limit contact with others and will have all meals delivered directly to their hotel rooms. Nearly immediately after entering “the bubble,” players began sharing their complaints on social media about everything from the food and WiFi to their resort lodging accommodations.

The Lakers’ LeBron James compared his luxury suite to heading into a prison sentence, while his teammate Rajon Rondo compared his room to a “Motel 6.” The Lakers are staying at the newest hotel on the campus, the Disney Grand Destino, where suites typically cost about $500 per night. ...

Yeah, I'm done with them - and most other professional sports.
