I'll watch the last 2 minutes of the NFL games, but will let my sports betting socks rake in the money...

I tried to watch the Yankees/Mets game last night. I was asleep by the fourth inning. Football and Basketball are just the only sports that can grab my attention and keep it for 2-3 hours. People need to keep the politics in perspective. In the late 60's, we had Muhammad Ali and the refusal to enter the military. You had athletes like Bill Russell, Jim Brown, and Lew Alcindor supporting Ali. You had the Olympics protests of 1968. People forget that our top basketball player, Lew Alcindor, refused to play, The Black players that did were considered "Uncle Toms". There were the Black Power protests at the medal ceremonies. You had athletes changing their names in the 70's. You even had a National Anthem Boycott in basketball in the early 90's. The 80's were a period of relative calm in sports, but was it a coincidence that most Black people rooted for the Lakers and Sixers and most white people rooted for the Celtics during that time. So, the politics of race has always been something that bubbles to the surface every so often. Many people take it too personal. If you are a good person and do your best to treat people right, nobody is pointing a finger at you and you have nothing to worry about.
i feel better particularly when they miss short putts, 6 feet or less. I’ve been particularly consistent of late, but I missed one 3’ par putt that still stands out a few rounds ago. I shot 86 at Aiken Country club, and easily could have been 83 or better. I fell in love with the course & the greens are particularly impressive & challenging. I also played hole 14 terribly, and I am so ready to play it again.
I don't separate Ali and guys of the present. The only difference is time. American society for the most part hated Ali. Time changed opinions. Look at the change in opinion of Kaepernick with one incident and four years. What people fail to do is try to see something from outside their own perspective. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean that people on the other side of an issue are making things up.Guys like Ali were right, though. It irritates me to hear anyone criticize him for refusing to go to Vietnam. Why should he go fight for a country that not only didn't seek to help people that looked like him, but actively sought to make their lives worse?
I won't watch a minute of any of them. I stopped watching the NFL for a while when the kneeling started a few years back.
Sports used to be about getting away from all this political shit. !
It's sort of like what Frank Martin is going through with this SAT thing. Frank always "got it" with his oftentimes Conservative, old-school opinions. The moment he makes mention of the SAT being culturally biased, an argument that has been made since at least the 80's, he needs to go away and he is not a winner anyway.I always get ticked at this kind (your kind) of hypocrisy.
folks hate the politics of things, yet they love watching politics on tv 24 hours a day.
such snowflakes
I understand his point. I want sports to get away from the political stuff. When I want political, which I often do, I watch/read that.I always get ticked at this kind (your kind) of hypocrisy.

I agree with Rollerdude because this is a sports site where people can't help but to make things racial or political. Spare me there's nothing else to discuss jargon because there are plenty of sports websites that successfully avoid race and politics, even banning violators. It isnt that these whiners don't want politics with their sports, its that they don't want politics they disagree with along with their sports.I understand his point.

I will clear this up for you. Games are for sports. News show is for politics. Sport Forums, I could care less what is discussed. Have a nice day.I agree with Rollerdude because this is a sports site where people can't help but to make things racial or political.

Rollerdude has been one of the main pushers of political posts.
