19th Ward Chicago: Political Sports

Political Sports

Sports Owners Invited Trouble by Allowing Politics on the Field What They Must Do Next to Save Sports

It was a horrible mistake by sports owners to allow a players political expression onto the field. A distinction needed to be made that permitted players to express their political feeling either before or after games, not during the games!

But, owners didn't do that and invited a horrible mess!

Sports are suppose to be an escape for fans. They have no interest to listen to players feel about any
political or social issue. That's not what they were hired for.

After the shooting of Jacob Blake, the Milwaukee Bucks taken to boycott and refused to play in the playoffs. Other teams across the sports world have taken the example and refused to play as well.

This is the moment sports owners need to draw a line in the sand.

Every player who refuses to play is in violation of their contract. Playing for the NBA, or Major League Baseball, or the NFL is a privilege, not a right. Owners need to give players a choice. Either play or the player is fired! This is the occasion sports owners need to regain control of their sport! Players can protest all they want during off hours. But, when it seeps into the games itself that is unsustainable!

AMEN! We have reached zenith hyper over reaction here. And yes, I and many others love sports. These boycotts, etc are a slap in the face of fans. Make your case AFTER the game. There are plenty of media outlets hat will give you air time. And, yeah, in a perfect world maybe the athletes should get educated and wait for facts BEFORE granting sainthood to every Black man shot by police?

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
