Listen to what he says--- racism is not the problem....the lying media is the problem.
I dropped professional team sports several decades ago. I'll occasionally watch college games, especially if I or any of my siblings, nieces, nephews, grandchildren attended one of the contending schools. I'll watch the high school football championship games every year. I'll watch pee-wee football and Little League baseball...but never a professional team of any sport.The NBA is becoming politicized.

I prefer to own the book and gift it to a friend or family member after reading once or twice. (I read Follett's The Pillars of the Earth three times before giving it away.)
I'm about the same, especially with the youth games, except I watch the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl still, and then some of the MLB World Series and NBA Championship. Some of the Summer Olympics ( postponed for the first time ever ) and Winter games.
Old clips are my favorites now. Home Run Derby classics, old boxing matches etc. Haven't read a book in a long time. The last one was;
