so we know that sjw leftist politics has been messing up sports (and also wrestling too) for a while now (the same as they do to us gamers , geeks and weebs) and pissing off the fans, are they doing anything to actively fight against it?

From my experience it seems the current hardcore sports fans are all sadly cucked leftist whites or blacks.
They still idolize low iq athletes like Lebron James to a ridiculous degree and have drank the sjw messaging koolaid.
are they? it didn't seem that way cause i heard they booed the players that kneeled during the national anthem.
I am going off all the sports fans I know in real life.
If someone was still watching sports as a non cucked white, I'd cringe at them.
Sports league are openly anti white.
Why do these white sports fans idol worship joggers that hate their whole race? It never made sense to me.
It's so much worse after the lockdowns destroyed countless jobs and businesses. I hated the Lebrons of the world lecturing whites about their privilege when he made exponentially more money than almost any of them, but now that average Joe is contending with joblessness and eviction? Yeah, millionaire athletes can fuck waaay off.
I’m black and my dad said something similar. He said that nba/nfl players are stupid because mostly whites people buy tickets. I’m tired of the false narratives they push. If they want to make change then address some root problems like high disproportionate crime rates, out of wedlock birth, black on black crime as well as black on white.
LeBron is their black hero, therefore all blacks are their hero LeBron. Anecdotal affinity is the only substantial draw to civic nationalism.
Pro team sports are very different from videogames. You can ignore huge swathes of the videogame industry and focus on either smaller indie titles or older games from 10-20+ years ago. In sports, the whole damn league is pozzed, so there's no way to "participate" without supporting radical leftist bullshit. That's why the viewer numbers have cratered for several leagues - they aren't giving fans a choice beyond changing the channel.
I would actually love to see anti-woke teams within these cucked leagues. I think the respective fan headcounts would be enlightening.
I was out at a restaurant a couple weeks ago and there was a sports celebrity golf match on.
I was there for about 45 minutes.
I saw at least 3 different interviews of participants that were all about BLM and "diversity".
How do people tolerate this shit? If I want to be preached to, I can go to church.
It's popular. Normalfaggots aren't known for having a spine.
Normies are pathetic sniveling creatures.
I personally do my best at work to stay clear of them.
I'm not even sure that there's a better way to put this. This is fairly apt.
I've never been big into sports, but if the crashing viewing numbers I've seen across the board are anything to go by, a lot of people are not having it. I realize that's not the active resistance you're looking for, but that's a lot of money being thrown down the drain by both the leagues and the advertisers.
yes im aware of that. thats why i was wondering if there was any resistance made like gamergate. Boycotting is good though active movements and resistance on top of that would be better .
What I notice is that they don’t admit they were wrong but the leagues notice the drop in ratings and quietly back away from the woke nonsense.
There's still some good things left:
Hockey players continue to say absolutely nothing of value in interviews.
Golf let women into that one country club and there hasn't been much else.
Tennis has some funny looking names, but the Venus hype has finally decided so now we're back to Russian blondes grunting.
Rating drops aren't entirely in response to the activism, but there does seem to be visible[1] correlation in sports like basketball, which is the prime example of woke, entitled celebrities out of control.
Remember: the NBA was allowing SJW slogans on jerseys!
Sports like that have no choice but to respond in kind. Massive ratings drop = Declining broadcasting revenue = No bueno.
I'd say only the NFL is mostly impervious to this, since there is too much joy in watching them kill each other on the field. All sports are struggling with people switching from cable/satellite to streams, but the NFL is probably hit the hardest in this respect.
P.S. I only followed wrestling as a kid. It's crazy to think how things like bra & panties matches, women catfighting in mud, and Trish Stratus' video shoot hosing herself in a white t-shirt would be received today.
[1] There have been examples of audiences booing, like those at some men's soccer games.
I watch American soccer, which is pretty much the most pozzed of the American sports - way out ahead of the curve on this stuff. All the commie propaganda is annoying, but in the end I don’t care that much. The game is still the game, and I like the athletic spectacle of people playing soccer at a professional level.
I think it’s a bit different from video games in that the assessment of an athletic performance is largely objective - Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the best soccer players in the world (and make shitloads of money for lots of people as a result), and no one is going to try to tell you otherwise just because they might have the wrong politics - it’s clear as day in a very objective, measurable way that they’re the best. (Fuck, Cristiano has a fairly detailed rape allegation against him, and no one seems to give a shit.)
It’s not like vidya, where it’s “art” and people are going to try to bullshit you into believing that mediocre games are good because they have the right politics or whatever. These sports leagues can suck Chinese / SJW dick as much as they want, but it doesn’t detract from the part of the experience I actually enjoy (the athletic performance), because the cream rises to the top and there’s not much subjectivity in that. No one is trying to sell the public on Collin Martin (gay guy bouncing around the minor leagues of US pro soccer) as a better choice for the US national team than Christian Pulisic (who gets regular games with one of the best pro teams in England), because anyone with two eyes and a passing familiarity with the sport knows that would be patently ridiculous.
So for now the SJW takeover of my favorite sport is a bit of a nuisance but not much worse. Who knows if it’ll get worse somehow.
I think it also helps that I don’t give a shit about my favorite artists’ and athletes’ political views. I like how they play music / run past a bunch of foreigners and kick a ball into a goal, and I understand that has no connection whatsoever to whether they’re a good person or have non-retarded political views or whatever. I appreciate them for the one very specific thing they’re exceptional at - I don’t idolize them beyond that, and I think it’s kind of silly to do so.
No, because the fans are too busy with trying to make a living wage when the government is trying to shut down the businesses they work for and worrying about the election (whether they believe The Party's lies or not).
And that's exactly why all of these teams and leagues are collectively shitting the bed right now: They know they can get away with it because people are distracted. Any losses can be blamed on COVID.
