Let’s not play ball.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
No hockey? No baseball? No basketball?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The horror, the horror!<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The Coronavirus hoax has accomplished a near miracle: it’s shut down professional sports. Can you imagine?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
“They may have taken the first step to awakening the sleeping giant – the one great mass of people they’ve always been able to keep in a state of clueless distraction – the American sports fan.”<\/h5>\n

by Mike Stone — (henrymakow.com)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
All those hours wasted in front of the boob tube,<\/strong> all that time and energy expended cheering overpaid athletes, grown men playing with a ball or puck, all those bimbo Super Bowl halftime shows … it’s all gone.<\/h5>\n
I appreciate a good football game, a good pitcher’s duel, as much as the next guy, but the huge, bread-and-circus atmosphere of professional sports has ballooned into something preposterous. And not just the games themselves, but the industries built around them: sports talk radio, sports shows on television, jerseys, caps, shoes!<\/h5>\n
Can America survive without sports?<\/h5>\n
The answer is YES, and the great sports shutdown just might have the unintended effect of educating the masses. It certainly can’t hurt. It’s going to free up untold hours of previously wasted time.<\/h5>\n
