I would say the American Left/Global Left has won a huge victory.
If you want to destroy America, tear down all the institutions.
Police, Sports, Pubs, Restaurants, and all the rest.
I doubt BLM or the Athletes or even that Kaepernick guy meant to crash American Sports.
They are just pawns and fools being used by people much bigger than them.
But yes, it's gone. I can't even imagine what American Sports will look like this year, or in five years?
Today, it is nothing like it once was as a means of national bonding/national unity.
No more peanuts. No more cracker jacks. They have performed a kind of 'group suicide'.
By embracing all these far-Left radical causes, they are alienating most of the country.
And the extreme irony is...the far Left doesn't watch sports.
What was innocent and 'fun', is now perverted, political, and dirty.
At least all of us old-timers still have memories. Memories our children will never experience.
It is the end of an era.
Very insightful, and near to my thoughts.
It is hugely disappointing that with billionaires among their numbers, the owners couldn't negotiate better solutions.
Scott Adams says he offered to work with BLM New York leader, Hawk Newsome, on messaging, but the BLM guy rejected his help.
George Floyd's death created a lot of sympathy, against overly harsh policing.
Sports has failed to stand for the anthem, kneel briefly against brutality, call it a win and move on for the good of the country.
Perhaps Mark Cuban could arrange such an outcome. I don't know anything about his "leanings," but he's often mentioned for politics, and what better way to show he has some chops?(oops bad word)
