With the George Floyd verdict set to be read in around an hour, you know there will be postponements if the “Right” verdict is not achieved . Does this damper your love for sports ?

Unfortunately, my "love" of professional sports has long since left me.

Been well over a year since I watched a pro game in anything.

No, as long as women sports are cancelled, I'm good.

No because I’m not a snowflake who participates in cancel culture BS. With that said, it’s gonna be a guilty verdict as it should be. Fairly quick deliberations isn’t good for the defense.

Sports are played by Human Beings, and in America Humans have rights. Playing sports does not mean you are required to forgo those rights

Definitely the cops fault he had lethal levels of fentanyl and meth in his system. Definitely the cops fault he ingested or tried to ingest additional fentanyl, found on the floor of his car and cruiser with saliva on them. Definitely the cops fault he resisted arrest from trying to pass counterfeit money. If a guilty verdict is reached, I’m just glad we’ve proven we don’t have a racism problem in this country. That we can come to the right conclusion and the systems of checks and balances work as designed. Maybe we don’t have to riot, burn, loot, destroy, murder, and pillage our neighbors. Of course, if he’s found innocent, all that it totes needed.

All that will be determined in the second trial since House Rep Waters opened her flapper to instigate violence if a not guilty is determined...

I'm fine w/ ESPN reporting on athletes reaction to the verdict...especially if games were to be postponed. I wouldn't read a word of it, but I'd be fine w/ the reporting it. But there headline was the trial itself. No reason for that. In and of itself, that trial had exactly zero to do w/ sports.
