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.

Next thing you know, chess will be racist.
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.

Exactly.
Watching the mad scramble for everyone to try and "get on the right side of history" just to stay ahead of the outrage of mob is sad and pathetic.
Frankly, I think as more and more people walk away from the toxic nonsense all the big-name sporting events are coming to increasingly represent, the more they will realize they never really needed them anyway.
Kind of like a drunk realizing they don't need booze to have a 'good time'.
Oh, sure it won't make a dent in the corporations that own the sports; they are literally to big to fail from a few pinpricks. But you'll feel better mentally as you find more useful and/or directly personally interactive things to do for fun...
