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?

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.
