Sports reporting needs more social justice commentary injected into box scores

Pulled my 500 grand donation

@thechatch owes me by the way. NBC did ruin the Golf Channel and the PGA Tour going full woke is one of the more inane actions of our time

No Tiger no reason to watch in the first place. This just makes it easier

it is where the white male gathers to perform their rituals of white supremacy by watching minority athletes dominate every sport.

A captive audience.

It was from a Wall Street Journal article, which ended up going behind a paywall and of which I don't have a subscription.

It said the NY Times digital subscriptions have plummeted since Trump left office, and they view this merger as a chance to add The Athletic's one million subscribers to their subscriber base.

You know why they are able to dominate? Evolution, which has nothing to do with genetics.

Why would you watch in the first place when you always know what the better bet is going to be?
