Ahh there's where the feigned superiority comes from. This all makes more sense now. My god tells me humility, forgiveness and, most importantly, understanding are more important than flinging judgements at others' character when I know next to nothing about them. I wish I had the writ from the almighty that you so proudly wield as a cudgel in his name.
You completely missed what I'm saying. No matter WHAT your skin color is, it is from God. Red, yellow, black or white, brown, purple or pink polka dotted.
No superiority at all. But your race just IS what you were given by God, just like your sex (male or female). It's not to be violated. It's an immutable property of YOU as a creation of God, and they're all ordained by God. Skin color alone, then, should confer no superiority or inferiority. That's what is meant. So I think you've read me completely backwards.
How does that belief mean that I view one race as superior to another?
And how is ESPN right to label white people as "racist" as a blanket belief any different than the KKK is labeling black people as inferior as a blanket belief? BOTH beliefs are equally disgusting.
But you seem fine paying for the former.

How weak minded do you have to be to let this affect you to the point that just can't bear to watch anymore?
It's not weak mindedness. It's a principled stance. I get it. Many on this board like to whine about reverse-racism wokeness, but are happy to fund it. Presumably because watching sports is the only form of entertainment many seem to know.
I'm not advocating a denial of your choice to do so. I'm just calling those that fund it and whine about it morons. Which they are.
It takes more character to do without something that is wrong than it does to continue to enjoy it, even though it is poison.
If you want to keep making the liberal (communist, racist, anti-intellectual) voices rich and powerful, keep watching. By all means. Just don't bitch about it.

Sports Watching
Do people still watch sports in here?
After a lifetime of either being a competitive athlete or a fan, I gave it all up this past Spring when Covid shut down sports. I gave it up on purpose during the summer after the BLM protests and subsequent bending over by all major sports leagues and programs.
Thank goodness for the pandemic, because that forced me to go cold turkey months before football season was ready to start ramping up. By the time they went crazy in the summer, I was weaned off sufficiently to make the rational decision that I was done with all of it. From the time I made that decision, I did not watch a second of anything.
Went from following LSU football religiously since I was a kid in 1982, and daily on-line since 1999 and having season tickets since 2001, to forgoing all of it and giving up my tickets entirely.
And honestly...I don't miss any of it. I miss the IDEA of it for sure, but there is just nothing about any of it as it currently exists that would interest me anymore.

You're an idiot. I still watch sports, but I do it on mute. I don't want to hear black lives matter and racial justice bullshite while I am watching sports. Yet, its a constant barrage of that shite each telecast.
I am watching Clemson-Wake Forest right now in my office on the ACC Network, and they've already done two highlights of racial justice fighters on the teams, and keep promoting ESPN's racist Undefeated website. I've had it on mute the whole time, but I'll look over and its obvious what they are talking about when coming back from commercial breaks.
Also, I've seen the ACC run the ACC's own black lives matter commercial 3 times already.
I might not be able to escape it completely, but at least with mute on I don't have to hear it even though I see it.

They still get your money, even if you have it on mute.
Welcome to cuckdom. All the people still paying for ESPN can add their support for men playing women's sports to the list, too.
You pay for it. You support it.

I don't subscribe to Nielsen, so I do not contribute to their ratings. We get cable in my office, so I watch what I want.
You are the one who supports transgenders participating in sports, not me. Go on and cheer your favorite shemale running against biological women in track or wrestling them in wrestling, I don't want any part of that.
You complain about people watching sports because they suck, which I get, but then you support making sports worse by supporting transgenders in sports.

I'll take it a step further, or at least expand on this point.
When I stopped watching everything in the Spring and Summer, I never once considered it a boycott. A boycott, to me at least, implies that my action is intended to try and force a change in a business or entity by the fact that I'm no longer supporting them.
For me, I stopped watching all of it because I no longer cared about the players, the coaches, and the games due entirely to their behavior and the way they all treated me simply for my immutable characteristics. For the decades I was a fan, I never once followed a team for the laundry. I got to know players, where they were from, how they got there, etc. It was personal. I cared. So when it became apparent entirely by the actions of players, coaches, administrators, owners, etc that I was only welcome as a money-filled wallet and was essentially hated for what I looked like rather than who I am as an individual, they took all of the enjoyment out of it for me.
So...I miss what sports used to be for me, but right now they are just not that. I'd get nothing out of turning on a game anymore. And as much as I miss the tradition of going to my long time seats in Tiger Stadium and hanging out with the guys I've known since 2001, I'd only be there for nostalgia, because I simply do not care what happens to these players and team anymore.
I did not leave sports...sports left me. I just allowed them to leave without fighting about it. I just let go and they drifted away.

This has to be one of the dumbest responses I've received yet. Your subscription to Nielsen is irrelevant. If your employer pays you to watch anti-white, pro-tranny sports, then that's also on you, lol.
"My employer pays for my cable, so therefore anti-white racism and trannies are okay with me" is basically your argument. Pafrickingthetic.
I do NOT support males playing female sports. How the hell you determined that from my post is bizarre and just evidence that you can't read.

An excellent point. If I'm not someone that ESPN thinks is a good person, because they support evil, then that's fine with me. They left me, I did not leave them.

I only watch horse racing, UFC and golf. I'm considering dropping golf unless they transition to using balls of color.

bullshite. That's why you edited your post, because you were giving a full throated endorsement of transgenders in sports. Looks like I caught you red handed. At least I will know who will be on their feet applauding once the Olympics start letting trannies compete in women's sports and are standing on the medal podium with a gold medal around their neck. It will be you.

That's why I mute the TV, so I don't have to hear the anti-white propaganda blasted at me throughout the broadcast.
I'd rather watch sports on mute than support transgenders playing sports.

UFC...they beat the rona from the gecko...first to let crowds back in, etc.
I used to just roll up to b-dubs to watch but I've since bought a few ppvs...
I will watch some college FB and LSU sports at the pub/bar

Was the biggest Astros fan since my first game as a kid in '75. Couldn't stomach the BLM praise, masks, SJW commentary, and lack of fans in the stands. I quit watching NFL in '17, the NBA in early '90's, and lost interest in LSU baseball w/ Pawl. Having done w/o them for this long I don't even care and have moved on. I hope these big wigs, and athletes, that hate capitalism get to experience a little Cuban/Soviet socialism that they so desire. With the exception of the Cuban defectors, and the Venezuelans that know how bad socialism is, they deserve their fate.

You do both if you subscribe to cable. Simple fact.

We watch battle bots.
I have had a hard time caring about other stuff.
Didn’t watch super bowl. I tried watching some college football, but once I ate all the wings, I lost interest.
Pro athletes I guess I can handle being prima Donnas. I can’t take the “college” game that is just a minor league.

If you read closer I was referencing your moral superiority where you feel labeling someone you know almost nothing about as a moron, I said nothing of race. I mean that religious people often use their beliefs taught to them as a way to dehumanize people during disagreements rather than consider another point of view. Bringing up God in a discussion such as this lends credence to my opinion, which may or may not be correct, but at least I can consider your point of view without thinking less of you as a person. You have proven that you don’t give yourself that latitude.
