Gallup: The more woke sports get, the more the American people utterly abandon them

[artichoke]

Polls are bullshit, but even the left's own beloved lying machine is telling them what a widely rejected turd this "make up whatever wee feel like" racist cult lunacy of "wokeness" has become.

"Gallup data out Tuesday shows public devotion to America’s great cultural pastimes has collapsed in the last year as political turmoil has infected what used to be an escape for millions of Americans. According to Gallup, the sports industry now boasts a negative image among U.S. adults: 30 percent see the sports industry positively, compared to 40 percent reporting a negative image. This year’s survey illustrates a 30 percent decline from American views on the sports industry a year ago, when the corporate sports enjoyed a net positive 20 percent rating, with 45 percent of Americans reporting a favorable opinion compared to 25 percent who said otherwise."

They chose poorly.

[Charoite]

They've been abandoned because of COVID making them hardly worth the time and pretty damn sad. That and cable/streaming prices. If it was the woke issue this would have been the trend since several years back.

It's been a trend. Is this the first you're hearing about it?

Bankruptcies all around please.

Pro sports and (stock car?) racing has gone political and racist.
Are they too stupid to realize their fan base is predominately white (especially racing)?

It's obvious, most pro sports teams (except hockey) are over 1/2 black. This has never
been an issue with fans. In fact, the NHRA has encouraged diversity, both women and
blacks have won championships, fans love them.
But when rich athletes start making things political, disrespecting the National Anthem
and the American flag, all the while screaming they are "oppressed," why are they too
stupid to realize they are driving their fan base away?
Holy hell!. The Redskins changed their name to the "Washington Football Team." WTF?
Schools are changing their names, colleges are changing their names. This shit is getting
out of hand.
What would happen if whites started becoming "offended" by the monuments erected at
sports stadiums honoring black athletes? When Jackie Robinson broke the "color barrier" in
baseball, fans welcomed him, along with players from every race and nationality. When they
start picking political and racial sides, things are moving backwards, not forward. Fans notice.

Not true at all. Pro sports have been dropping in popularity for awhile now. Everyone is sick of the politics in sports, the rule changes, over officiating, and the general overall FAKE feel of pro sports. This coming from a lifelong sports fanatic. Now I can take it or leave it,.... mostly leave it.

Good one, RB.

Woke culture grabbed the gear shift and slammed it into reverse in terms of race relations. They didn’t even bother pushing in the clutch.

White sports fans have *idolized* black athletes for generations now. We/they didn’t ‘see’ Michael Jordan as black-first and an incredible second. We didn’t see color at all—and that was MLK’s dream.

We will never get to where woke culture is trying to take us because it’s an incoherent fantasy.

We (I'm a Pirates fan ) celebrate Roberto Clemente day every year. We think nothing about his color, we honor the man. Why do they want race (and politics) to be the predominant noting?

I have no idea but it’s not good for the country.

I hope the whole lot of them go belly up.

[BartenderElite]

Too bad. People are really missing out.

This year's NBA playoffs is one for the ages. The games have been crazy exciting.

Loving it as a sports fan.

It's been a complaint of some and even brought some boycott ideas but viewership hardly changed making it just hot air. Compare it to now and it's not even a factor.
