    what white supremacists?? What agenda? The ones living in a shack in the bayou making moonshine? Their lynching days ended decades ago.
    The only agenda left is the politician’s agenda of divisiveness to maintain power. And all the suckers are falling for it. They are taking isolated incidents and weaving it into a narrative of overwhelming racism. I’ve lived all over this country and can count the number of racist people I’ve known on one hand.

    Trump supporters aren't gonna have any sports left to watch because of their disdain for freedom of expression and feeeeeeelings.

    I was going to say NASCAR, but now there's an uppity black guy racing and making waves...

    I guess there's always MMA ... Trump supporters aren't really happy until somebody gets kicked in the balls...

    Good job by your Knights, but my Cappies lost in a shootout... We were terrible in the first 30 minutes, but really good in the last 30.... On to the Flyers tomorrow...

    Did you see the finish to the Blues/Avs?? Can't get a more last second goal than that...

    That Blues/Avs game was great! Knights looked terrible in the 2nd period then they turned it on in the 3rd.

    So glad sports are back!

    It doesn't matter. Sports leagues will somehow make it without all the Trump supporters. They'll be fine.

    Exactly, WS.

    Let them go and do what they want.

    Once things get back up and running, it will make it that much easier to get prime seats and season tickets.

    WHAT? YOU ARE KIDDING ME? THERE ARE A MINIMAL NUMBER OF BLACK PLAYERS IN THE NHL? this is a travesty, we MUST legislate that the NHL have at least 90% of all their players be black, how could this awful injustice be allowed to go on, ohhhhhhhhh won't someone think of the children.....

    True, super.

    But, the most delusional and comical part of all of this:

    Imagine a Complete IMBECILE (like Donald Trump) living in the delusion that his "opinion" (on sports) even matters?

    Those who have lost interest due to disrespect are in no way trying to interfere with their rights. Its no like they are trying to cancel sports or destroy statues of sports figures. The dems, however, have worked to erode first and second amendment rights.

    No they haven't.

    Blah blah blah

    But, as Colbert says....MEANWHILE

    While I haven't watched an NBA game in probably 15 years, and I saw this story last week, it was the latest statement from this player that made me LOL.... Snip of the week...

    SNIP
    Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams conceded he could have made "a better-quality decision" after being forced to miss NBA games because he visited a strip club in Atlanta.

    Yes sir, they have. Im surprised you were not aware of the court cases involving the left silencing free speech on campus and the erosion of the second amendment where dems are in power.

    The right is not trying to cancel sports or destroy statues.

    That is an emotional statement and it doesn't address my post.

    professional sports will go bankrupt without its patriotic base.

    they are barely hanging on now, most of the fans buying tickets get welfare.

    ironically, Trump's attacks on these black players, calling them SOB's and such, have given more power to the movement
