I just leafed through Saturday's NY Times Sports section. Reminded me of that old Onion headline: World Ends: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit

Does anyone REALLY miss sports?
GRA:The NCAA basketball playoffs have been scrubbed.The baseball season pushed back to May(maybe).Hockey iced,golf clubbed and the Kentucky Derby sent on an extra long stretch--to a September racedate.
I,for one,don't miss any of it.That's coming from a lifelong sports junkie.
I don't know if I'm an outlier,or if I will gain more members into my club.You know the one--the "I Don't Care About Watching Modern Sports Anymore",club?
Modern sports--where millionaire black men play mostly kids games and complain about politics and social crap.Where blacks and Mex have ruined the sports they play in--not athletically,but more importantly in my view,aesthetically.
I don't miss watching blackie play basketball one bit--this suspension of the season confirms it.NCAA,same thing,though a few more whites show up in schools like Gonzaga.The repetitious screaming,fist pumping and strutting after a simple basket by black hoopsters has long ago caused a decline in my interest.
Baseball was invaded by Mex and Central Americans,the last 10 years,to such a point where reading a box score became an unwelcome lesson in speaking Spanish.
"Gonzales,Martinez,Alvarez,Sanchez,Ramirez etal."
This isn't the sport I enjoyed from about 1968 until 3 or four years ago,when the Chicano(Chicago) White Sox lineup became exclusively Mex,DR or Cuban.
Yes,the race of the players matters to me.Blacks and Mex act differently from whites in every sport you see.White people played 20th century professional sports as they built America--with hard work and respect for the game.Blacks think a 4 yard gain in football means it's time for a "nigga dance".Whites MIGHT do a quick handshake,but not even that much.
It's no coincidence that both our country and our sports leagues are shadows of their former selves--and declining quickly,thanks to minorities gaining larger percentages of the various sports' rosters every year.
So,don't come back NBA.
Cancel the season MLB (Mexican League Baseball).
The COVID-19 virus made me realize,you're not worth my time anymore.

I actually did think that might be a thing of good. Sports gone. People will realize they can do without sports or realize as well the minor importance of sports as compared to more important issues of life.
