Sports Suicide Seems Sertain Certain!


I'm not a big fan of sports in general, but as you all know, I bleed St. Louis Cardinals bazeball red, because in St. Louis I was born and bred! (Hey! I accidentally rhymed!)




I don't believe in hockey, soccer (aka futball), jai alai, curling, cycling, rowing, bowling, pro football, bazza-ball, or most of those inferior sports.






But you do! Well, some of you do. So why do you think these players, who make trillions of pazoozas, want to commit financial suicide by boycotting their own games, politicizing everything they do, insulting their fans, and shooting their mouths off about EVERYTHING BUT sports!






Yes! Of course they have the right to utilize the First Amendment, but it ain't smart in my humble opinion. The big dummies!






It's ticking off the "silent majority" of fans, and that will definitely translate to the drying up of funds. 




All we shallow sports fans care about is our personal entertainment! We don't want no political crap messin' up our escape from reality in the nirvana-like realm of sporting events!




Even my beloved St. Louis Cardinals disappointed me last night when two, count them, two of the players boycotted their own game due to an event that happened in another state, to a total stranger.



 Folks are proclaimed innocent or guilty by what we think we see on videos, or what the news folks declare, WAY before there's a trial!






Anyway, fanless games, changing age old rules, no hot dogs, no beer drinking in the stands, wearing masks like banditos, kneeling at inappropriate times... may be considered smart and safe, progressive and heroic, and it makes sense to a lot of people.




However, it's killing sports to death! (I think that's a redundant statement)




What difference does it make, anyway. Climate change, starvation, floods, hurricanes, viruses, Armageddon, flying monkeys, the sun going out and zombies will all kill us soon, and sports will be the last thing on our moms! Moms?
