Dumb Political Correctness

What will it take for professional sports associations to go bankrupt? I can't see them surviving all that long if this keeps up. Even if they do the pay has to decrease seriously. TV ratings are going down. No paying fans in the stands this season. If you keep pushing Marxism, who is going to buy merchandise and tickets? I love sports, but I am seriously preparing to give it all up including the Longhorns if they keep pushing it. My life will actually get better. So I hope they do push it. Of course it will be sad for all these would be sports stars. They will have learn to break rocks for a living.

I think they are taking the gamble that this "movement" is as big in reality as it is on Twitter and that the public shaming associated with it will suppress people from taking issue with it. To really end it, large numbers of people will truly have to be willing to walk away. To make that happen, the BLM agenda and ideology need to become major point of commentary rather than just a slogan as it is now.

"We need to have an honest conversation about BLM."

That is what I am wondering. But they have to see the TV ratings going down since Kap started kneeling. ESPN has seen that too. Right now there are facts showing them the movement is misleading, but the CEOs all are SJWs at this point. I think they are blinded and won't see it until their business goes under.

The BLM agenda is already front and center. ESPN has made sure of that. The NBA reboot was prefaced with a 2 hour BLM advertisement. The ship is going down. If the owners don't start patching the leak it's over.
 
The owners are probably thinking that it is a short term trend and are placating to the players. I think they have lost some viewers for ever. I have cut E$PN out of my house.

I'm close to doing the same.

Can't stand to watch any "News", including Fox News. And, as I have said, the BLM ads and lecturing from the hypocrite athletes on the couple of sports stations I watch make me wonder why I still have it.

Wife and daughter...that's the reason. Can probably stream everything fo much less $$.
 
^I'm getting pretty close on that myself. I don't watch the 5:30 national news any more. I watch the local news to get the weather forecast and local sports. I do watch the Golf Channel - not too much political correctness there.

Man, it's not as bad a some others, like LHN, and the CBS broadcasts, but it's getting there.

The 3M tournament, being in Minneapolis, well, Blaine, is lecturing me and "honoring" the POS George Floyd.

Sadly, if I dropped Fox News my wife would drop me. I watch Fox Business an hour or two during the week and try to catch Maria B when I can. Other than that most of my coverage is following HF and chasing the links you guys provide. Pretty sick I know but true. If I ever go onto any MSM source I usually last no more than 7-8 minutes and have to turn away or puke. But that’s just me, and strangely enough I do not hate folks that share those opinions, I do pity them though.

I actually have a long text string going with 2 of my wife's uber conservative Trump flag waving cousins. I have told them I literally get my political information here. :D
 
This is the best conservative forum on the net that I know of. Many of the other conservative sites are filled with know-nothings who you can't have a discussion with even though you agree with them on most issues.
 
Big ‘like’ on the above. I have to admit the liberals in here something’s cause a big ‘WTH’ from me but I enjoy the back and forth and often get a good perspective when I open their linked article(s). Of course I most often think ‘how can you actually believe that’......?

What the hell happened to SI? Now it’s a freak show. Kate Upshaw Or Jennifer Love Hewitt is curvy, this gal is just fat like millions of other Americans.

Well, it’s appropriate given that COVID kills folks with co-morbidities.
 
They have also slipped a trans "woman" in to the Swim Suit issue.
I have no interest in that particular issue, but, that just grosses me out.
More than a heavy model who is an actual woman.

It's becoming politically correct to be overweight or obese. It's not as messed up as having a tranny model on the cover, but it is being done for the same reason.
 
Finally a corporation is taking a stand against the woke mob
And it's Trader Joe's, of all people

" ..... A few weeks ago, an online petition was launched calling on us to “remove racist packaging from [our] products.” Following were inaccurate reports that the petition prompted us to take action. We want to be clear: we disagree that any of these labels are racist. We do not make decisions based on petitions.

We make decisions based on what customers purchase, as well as the feedback we receive from our customers and Crew Members. If we feel there is need for change, we do not hesitate to take action.

Recently we have heard from many customers reaffirming that these name variations are largely viewed in exactly the way they were intended—as an attempt to have fun with our product marketing. We continue our ongoing evaluation, and those products that resonate with our customers and sell well will remain on our shelves....."​

When the "Karen" thing first started, I admit I wasnt really sure what precisely was meant by it
But now the more videos like this one I see, the more I get what a "Karen" is

This is not really a suitable pedestrian killing machine. You need a heavy duty brush guard. As currently equipped, even a medium size victim will damage the grill and hood. Maybe even the lights. An "accidental" offing of a pedestrian would set you back your full deductible and raise your insurance rates like crazy.....
