any state that allows any political party to not follow and accept the rules of fair play and that refuses to concede its candidates’ losses according to those rules? Or states where election workers and their families are subjected to threats of violence?

In other words, what would happen to professional sport, all sports for that matter, if teams refused to accept losses?

1. Yes

6. Most sports are played in liberal cities

Why have them suffer from loss of revenue when the city has nothing to do with it?

2. Never gonna happen, not even worth discussing (nt)

3. I think rather than boycotting it would be much more effective if

they used their celebrity to voice their support for politicians that are against these anti-democratic policies. Encourage people to VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

4. Yes, that's a better idea.

5. Many of these athletes have never voted, aren't interested in voting and most likely could not

name the three branches of government.

8. I'm not sure about that? People at the professional level of sports are usually not just

good athletes but also learned in their progression to that level of competition that community service is an important part of establishing their brand. People like Herschel Walker tend to be the exception and not the rule.

The real villains in the sports world tend to be owners and administrators who use the athletes to enrich themselves.

9. Owners are exploiting athletes by paying them millions of dollars?

Sign me up to be exploited

10. The reason that athletes have control these days (not so in the past) in the players unions.

It certainly is not because of the owners good will. If they didn't have contractual protections they could be shitcanned just like any other worker in America.
