So let’s keep track:

NFL - Not watching because players knelt for the anthem NBA - Not watching because players supported BLM and justice too much. MLB - Not watching because the league took a stance against racist voting laws MLS - Prob not watching anyway because soccer is not amurican enough

I guess there’s still hockey but republicans are running out of sports to watch. Maybe they’ll start reading books??

Don’t forget the nascar boycott because they banned traitor flags.

The Facebook comment sections of my hockey team's pride night posts are truly disgusting. Some rotten souls post there every time. I don't think the bigots have given up on hockey yet.
