[QUOTE="batten_down, post: 5677339, member: 10196"] I love sports. People that like sports don't bother me at all. But there are alternative ways to scratch that itch. Supporting woke leagues (nfl, mlb, nba, nhl - they've all bent the knee) that advance political ideologies in contrast to our own, is ludicrous. People on here don't want to read about this; I've talked about it enough and -contrary to belief- I can read the room, my position has earned me zero friends here I assure you. I've been beating this drum for a while though with no regrets. Look at the nfl's advertising list. We could've sent a huge message with the bud lite treatment. Bizarrely though, most pro sports remain off limits. Guys get their drawers bunched in a hurry. I can go into as much detail as necessary since you asked but hopefully answered your question. I will add that I was a lifelong bills fan. Rabid college football fan. Fantasy leagues. Roadtrips to see games in bucketlist cities; etc. Same with mlb. Nba not quite to the same level of Fandom, but watched a lot during Jordan years. Legitimately don't miss any of it. As far as the music and TV thing, I don't watch much at all. Very little. And you've tried to make that point before, but I don't consume a lot of that stuff. For example, two of my favorite bands -Pearl Jam and GNR- they got too political. I don't listen to them anymore. Won't spend another dime to go see them or buy their stuff. [/QUOTE]
