Are you gonna quit watching baseball when the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, or Washington Nationals change their name?
What about College level sports when the NCAA starts making schools change their mascots?
And what about when it happens to your local high schools?

I quit watching the NFL years ago for much less. I really don't watch much sports at all. Especially football it's hunting season for beat sakes.

Not the same thing to start, but, I've said bye to the spoiled bratt kneelers, whatever sport.

Having played sports, I've never cared much for watching it as a bystander. And certainly not grown men mking millions of dollars acting as though they're everyones super hero's or that their opinions matter. If they want to virtue signal by kneeling, thats fine. I won't see it nor do I care.

Yes. No sports since this started and I miss all of it less every day.
Sent the "Redskins" office a message earlier stating they lost a lifetime fan because they're cowards kneeling to the mob.

We as a family never had any interest in team sports unless you count fishing and hunting as a team sport.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

What about College level sports when the NCAA starts making schools change their mascots?
And what about when it happens to your local high schools? Yes to all questions.......never thought I would say this but I gave up the NFL 3 years ago and going to the movies.....don’t miss either......I spend more time listening to music and outdoors.....a healthy change for me and I have not looked back......when these players start insulting my country and think they are more important than the sport itself I’m out......

I got cedar to cut, hunting/trapping to do, meat to cut up, fencing, varmints to thin. Got no time NFL, NBA, NASCAR, ............then there's reloading, boolit casting. If it's not the grandkids, I'm not watching. Sitting next to a wood stove or a fire under the stars is more better than looking at TV.

Never understood the fascination.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

The Indians got rid of Chief Wahoo a few years ago. Most of the Tribe thought they were idiots, but as a member, I was smart enough to leave Cleveland as soon as I could.

I believe your correct, how many other things have been changed or removed that didn’t have a negative outlook on skin color?

I don’t care what anyone watches, I was reading an article and thought I’d pose a question here.

The NFL has a significant number of minority players. Let the minority community support the NFL and pay their salaries.

You don't have to be too old to remember the south garland rebels.
The changing of names is goofy but doesn't effect me. I quit watching the cowboys during the Terrel Owens years. Used to go to at least one game a year. Then I won't go to AT&T stadium as I'm sternly against using eminent domain for a private project that has nothing to do with public needs whatsoever.
Used to watch a lot of nba then Josh Howard got caught on that short video cussing nthe National anthem. I've not watched a game since. Never was a huge baseball fan and I don't have cable so really I don't get any sports.
I'm hard headed I know. It's in my genes.
My fil usually cooks up some grub for the Aggie games if I'm not in the woods I'll go eat their food and hang out with the family. Besides that. Out

Turning my back on the NFL has nothing to do with teams changing names. It has EVERYTHING to do with the anti-American culture they are now promoting with Kapernick leading the way. F'em!!

I look forward to it all week.
