Yeah, but clearly there are individual players that aren't part of the problem. Same as Hollywood. Politicians. Etc. You can like and root for individual players. I get that still supports the sport that's Commie infested, but change has to begin somewhere. Aaron speaking out helps change opinions and beliefs and gives others in the sport the courage to speak out.
I’d just rather not give my time or money to leagues that absolutely detest everything I stand for, that’s the change that will matter. Sports leagues don’t care about their fans or players, they care about the bottom line. The majority of players are cowards and love sucking the tit of their league to line their pockets, similarly to doctors. Nothing will change unless they lose more money, and as far as I’m concerned this could be controlled opposition for optics to try and win viewership back.
They showed their hand and intentions over the last few years. They didn’t fire anyone over the SJW shit, they’re all still there and would probably do it again given the opportunity. Did Rogers speak out about all the race baiting social justice shit they were pushing or all the other controversial bullshit? Because the players were awfully silent then when the country was getting degraded game after game by their teammates. The league doesn’t identify you as their ideal target anymore, fren. I’d even go as far to say if they could replace you with an SJW they absolutely would, they do not value you at all. Let them rot.
That’s not what I’m saying. I also agree there can be good people in a corrupt organization. You bring up a good question though. If those people are aware of the corruption and continue to engage in said corruption, are they still good people?
I treat athletes differently than actors. If you play a sport your entire life and are very skilled at it, it is more than just a game. If you work your ass off training your entire life to play professionally. Then you get there and there are some bad people playing the same sport as you and they are doing bad things. I don't think that means you have to quit playing.
Personally, I don't think anywhere near a majority of pro athletes are evil. I think most of them are slaves to their career path. Many don't make the money like Aaron Rogers. They will do what they are told, most took the jab, most abides by what they are told not to talk about (political correctness). This has gotten worse over the years. If these are the worst things they see and have to do, I don't blame them.
If they witness an even darker side that preys on children, that is a different story. If you witness that and learn that the majority of owners or high level names are involved, yes you should quit. But, I doubt they see this side of people, and I am not certain a majority of the owners are involved in shit like that either.
But, simple corruption, I don't think one has to give up their career for that.
I had a conversation with my son's baseball hitting coach, he played in the minors for 5 years and had a good average. He said he never cheated on his wife, while many players went around doing that sort of thing, he would always have a hotel roommate from the team that was a strong Christian as well. That way he would avoid temptation. While cheating was around him, I don't fault him for not quitting.
I appreciate the response and thanks for sharing your point of view! I think where we’re going to disagree is that I view professional athletes more similarly to actors. Actors would feel the same way regarding investing their time and efforts into a craft to earn a living. Many actors also are not wealthy, similarly to minor league players and lower.
I absolutely agree with your view in that overall a majority of players have no affiliation with the dark side of it all, outside of playing in their league. Televised sports are a very small minority of the overall profession and even then I’m sure that some know not what they do, hopefully lol. This is why my qualms are with the leagues themselves and their corruption and influence.
A good example of this is how the league disrespect their country, and continue to do so with their covid restrictions. Sports owners specifically defending China’s actions against the Uighurs. After learning what I have over the last few years, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that areas that host the super bowl are correlated to spikes in human trafficking arrests during that period.
Yeah this thread confuses me. Earlier all the threads were talking about how cucked sports are in general and now suddenly people love the packers and the NBA
Y’all still care about pro sports after everything they did? Damn...

How does this post promote sports at all? This is someone with a massive platform speaking truth. That’s all
Read the comments on the post.
no I dont watch the nfl, doesnt mean there cannot be a good person in it.
