To Hell with F1 racing

Next thing you know, chess will be racist.

Why does white get the first move?

Why are there castles? Don't they know the elite uses castles to rule over the slaves?

Why are pawns sacrificed? Isn't that just typical of the ruling class to kill those who don't agree with them.

Why are there horses? That's cruel to animals.

Why are there bishops? That's favoring one religion over others. Religion shouldn't be a part of that game.

Why isn't the queen the top piece on the board? Why do we let the patriarchy infiltrate that game?

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.

Which is precisely the POINT of the exercise... these people are miserable inside, angry that anyone else is LESS miserable than they are and thus have to piss on everybody's Cheerios and destroy everything that anyone else might enjoy in order to enforce "spreading the misery."

Some Dumba-ass knelt at a hockey game yesterday.

I hope he was enthusiastically checked by Enforcers from both teams at every opportunity... or that the coach had him Riding Pine.

Well fortunately it was invented in India, so it doesn't have white origins at least.

Mark my words, whenever some American of Indian ethnicity shoots a crook Zimmerman-style, he will be described as either a "white Indian" or "white Asian" in the news.

I lost my enthusiasm for pro sports over 30 yrs ago. Most of it is on my day of rest, and I don't turn on the TV on that day. I do get into the technical side of the cars and bikes a little. All this politicalizing/SJWing of sport just ices it form. Is golf still good? I like to watch golf sometimes on Sat.

Same here. Watched college sports for a bit after that then just got out of the habit of sitting in front of the box altogether. Doubtful that SJWs are going to pony up pro-sports ticket/parking/food costs to dutifully go to games they don't care about now that the teams are so woke. It will be fun to hear the pampered players squeal when the wokesters cry that they should have free admission/parking/etc. for the benefit of the community.

Yup. I think they've all made a HUGE tactical mistake though. They've assumed we want or need to watch their sport badly enough that we'll keep putting up with all their BS. Wrong.

The only sports that have ever been worth a damn are the ones you are personally participating in at the moment.

FIFY.

You and I disagree on almost everything, but you’ve cracked the code on mental health.
