The only sports worth a damn anymore are the ones you are personally participating in at the moment.

Does it surprise you? In a predominately white sport, by not signaling their virtuousness they’d surely be branded as racist. Not to mention this is the in vogue thing to do right now.

I refuse to play this stupid game.

Well fortunately it was invented in India, so it doesn't have white origins at least. But then there's the whole medieval theme we've adopted with the game pieces: knights and kings and all that. Not good, smacks of white power and patriarchy and DWEMs. Chess has gotta go...
I liked basketball--playing and watching--from grade school through college, and beyond. But I've gotten so sick of the NBA's latest outrage even before BLM posing, I've sworn off them, as well as at them. And NFL, and NASCAR.
It isn't that I'm being all like, pure and stuff, "I won't watch any organization that does X." As if, I'd secretly still enjoy watching them, once we get through the national anthem (which one?) and forget about all the idiot slogans on the jerseys. No, it's worse than that: I'm disgusted by them to the extent that I can't enjoy the sport anymore. They've killed the joy. Which is I think OP's point.

The taking a knee crap as well as the rainbows everywhere. Even the safety car. ��

It was one hell of a race...the last few laps were fantastic. Cannot believe 2nd place pitted like they did.

The rainbows are part of their “We race as one” initiative which bundles COVID “togetherness” with racial inequality. Basically a get out of jail free card for whoever wants to complain against them, but not specifically LGBTetc. What really chaps my hide is all of us now see a rainbow and think one thing now days when it’s high jacked from what it has meant biblically for thousands of years.
