Pro-Sports, Protest!


Major League Baseball is apparently in discussions about whether to scrap the entire season. After a few pics of players kneeling during the National Anthem, my answer as to whether MLB is going to continue its season is . . . “I don’t care!” I was raised as a White Sox fan, but, even as I got older, I was only rarely able to go to the White Sox games because Comiskey Park, where the White Sox played, was on the South Side of Chicago, which was too dangerous even back then. However the final straw came when B.O. jumped on the White Sox bandwagon. At that point, I jumped off. I suppose that you could refer to me as a ‘fair-weather fan,’ but Chicago rarely has fair weather.

The NBA season? Don’t know, and don’t care. LeBron James can spread his liberal spiel, but not on my TV set. At the first NBA game on 7/30/20 everybody took a knee during the national anthem. Everybody included players, coaches, and refs! No, I did not watch that game . .. oops! Darn!

Which brings us to the NFL. Really, the only real question is whether to give the NFL a chance . . . either tune them in until the first National Anthem kneel-down, or just assume that the kneel-downs will be occurring right from the git-go, and never turn on the NFL games in the first place. As of now the oddsmaker’s line is 3:2 on favor of ‘never turning them on.

Personally, I hope that both MLB and the NFL cancel their seasons, and then my protest will be silent. However as a consequence of no pro-sports, ESPN might go belly-up. Unlikely . . . yes, but one can always hope.
