Giving up on sports

A letter that I sent to someone about the state of professional sports in 2020

Dear Abc,

I am writing to you because although I am a pro sports fan, I am growing increasingly frustrated with the leftward and uniform progressive tilt that all four sports are trending in. All four of the, (NFL, NBA MLB and NHL ) are guilty of caving to the progressives and lefties.

For example why does the NHL need to celebrate Black History month and tell us about these kids who are playing hockey who are black. It may be nice, but those handful of black hockey players are outnumbered by the number of black kids who play basketball and football.

Another example is the NHL embracing June as Pride month and the last is this idea that NBC sports has to have an all women crew produce and announce a hockey game on March 8th.

Why am I picking on hockey? Because hockey and baseball are less vulnerable (at least in theory) to the whole social justice nonsense plaguing sports.

Yes I can watch people like my nephews play sports at the local Jewish sports league as a hobby. That would be as far as it goes barring a Ted Cruz type takeover of the commissioners office of MLB or the NHL.

No chance in the other two sports, they’re too far left already.

Thank you.

MLB and NHL need new leadership

In my opinion the MLB and NHL which are way way way behind the NBA and NFL  in terms of followers among kids, need to fire their commissioners now., Get some younger people in leadership who are red blooded patriots and know how to market the sport to the “red state” blue collar fan.

Eatablishment media BORING

I find the establishment media (ABC CBS NBC  New York Times, Washington Post, etc.) to be dull lifeless boring and inferior to Fox News. It’s too bad the the jerks at Fox News namely Lachlan Murdoch had to fire Bill O’Reilly  or felt compelled to fire him which was a TERRIBLE MISTAKE. O’Reilly was one of the greatest journalists in the last twenty years and to appease a bunch of yentas was stupid

Why having certain kind of leaders matter

Because of this impeachment business, it seems to me that there is a reason why the country needs certain kinds of people, namely sane levels headed white men to lead.

Why did impeachment happen? Because the House went to the Democrats and there are a lot of angry women, particularly the “women of color” who were upset that America didn’t continue on the same socialist path that Obama set it on in 2009. Yes there are men who have contributed to this like Jerry Nadler and Stent Hoyer, but it’s mostly women and people of color behind this.

Why Francesa leaving is a big deal

Yesterday Longtime WFAN radio host aired his final drive time show on Wfan from 3-6:30 pm. In January he will do about a half hour of commentary and also work for Radio.com.

This is a big deal because it’s the end of an era. He worked in radio for more than 30 years and in television before Wfan, working at CBS sports from 1977-1992.

Most of the current group of journalists are amateur and juvenile compared with him.

I’ll have more later.

Fox News Superior to other networks

Despite the somewhat leftward tilt in tha last few years because of the Roger Ailes scandal as well as Lachlan Murdoch having more of a say in programming, Fox News is still much better than NBC CBS and ABC.

I’m watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade and watching Savannah Guthrie host the parade. She doesn’t strike me as particularly smart or pretty. Andrea Tantaros, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Sandra Smith, etc. are geniuses compared to her. Now I know why I don’t watch NBC or ABC anymore.

Why women sports reporters ruins sports and Men

This is going to be a long and controversial rant about women sports reporters.

In today’s world we have a large number of women sports reporters. Some people like it some people don’t. I am not a fan of women sports reporters particularly as a career. I will explain why.

I don’t think that this kind of profession when it’s done right, is one that isn’t conducive for long term satisfaction for women. Yes they can obtain the skills to do this job, but the professor and the locker room culture works against them.

This doesn’t mean that they can’t do the job or can’t learn about sports. I just don’t think it’s a long term career for them. Work for a few years, make some money and then go teach about it in college or graduate school.

Additionally, I think to a certain extent there is a similarity between pro sports and the military. Very male-dominated and structured.

Most of the women who are hired by the teams or news outlets are either Tom boys (girls with male likes and or tendencies) or groupies who were former models and athletes who want a piece of the action. Regardless their presence in our realm is something that I can do without.

I’m not interested in giving them a seat at the table because I’d I do that means that we have to completely redo the broadcast and the way sports is done. You women reporters represent a small fraction of women, many other women are fine doing other things and not turning sports into a social laboratory experiment.
