Has there been a noticeable drop in people following sports since it became so politicized?

מה קש?
MLB announces it is moving the All-Star-Game out of Atlanta, Georgia. News comes after Biden said he’d “strongly support” moving the MLB All Star Game out of Georgia due to the states passing of a voting bill.

Don’t know the numbers. But seems to me that there has been.

That prob has a lot more to do with the lack of fans on the stadium, than for political reasons. I wonder if it will go back to regular when stadiums open to full capacity.

Does anyone think that canceling is never ok? Cancel culture is about canceling people/companies/things for absurd or unrelated reasons. Canceling a child molester = okay. Canceling a city hosting an all star game for an unrelated political reason = not okay. Canceling the idiotic cancel-ers = okay.

Not defending these specific people because they might be hypocrites, but let’s not pretend there’s anything hypocritical about canceling the MLB today.

So Delta, Coca Cola, and 200 other companies that released statements supporting voting rights are ‘idiotic cancel-ers’ justly cancelled, it’s unthinkable to speak out against a state curtailing voter access and spearheading a national trend as a result of fictitious Big Lie, and nobody is hypercritical...

They’re not objecting to their right, they’re just saying the companies are making a dumb decision and people shouldn’t support them
