Nearly half of Americans changed sports viewing habits because of social justice
I watched sports then and watch them now.<p>I just love to see awesome athletes who have honed their bodies and reflexes to such a crazy degree do things I could never do.<p>The interjection of social justice issues hasn’t yet taken anything away from the joy of the game from what I’ve seen.  Kneeling for the anthem, wearing armbands with messages doesn’t change any of that.<p>If they start saying we need more diversity in sports and pay athletes who aren’t the best because of their skin color or sexual orientation I’d be annoyed. If someone is gay or straight or white or black and is the best at his position but he doesn’t get a job because of his orientation or skin color then I’ll stop watching.<p>The only thing I hate is how many athletes who have such short 3 year windows have half their income taxed for those three years then go on to work “normal” jobs for the next 30 years, and someone who ultimately made the same income over 30 years at a high paying “normal” job got taxed so much less over the same time span.
