I was just discussing this with my wife. Sports used to bring everyone together on a common ground, no matter your political beliefs. Now that has been divided, and exactly why I am done with sports.
I’ve come to love football and I hate when politics get mixed in. I’ll still watch it and am excited for the season to start. It’s not looking good for the Patriots. I’m not sure what to make of my Rams.
For the last 5 months, we have filled our sports watching time with other activities. Once this BS all returns to some level of normal, how many people are going to continue in their "new" activities rather than returning to sports?
Fall/Winter sports are going to have an advantage, but MLB may take a bigger hit.
