But no more. Ever since Big Sports has entered the culture wars on the side of the woke, our sports have become politicized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the recent NBA game played in Milwaukee on January 26. As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/bucks-halftime-drag-show-sparks-debate-social-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, the Milwaukee Bucks made that day \u201cPride Night\u201d that featured a drag show at halftime. A game that had children in attendance. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NHL is no better. Its recent Pride night in Philadelphia had players wear rainbow-themed jerseys and use hockey sticks taped in rainbow colors. The event garnered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/flyers-ivan-provorov-labeled-homophobic-faces-backlash-boycotting-teams-pride-fetivities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national attention<\/a> when one brave Philadelphia Flyers player\u2014Ivan Provorov\u2014refused to participate in the Pride festivities because of his religious beliefs. The NHL also recently gave <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHL\/status\/1595070878127034369\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">support<\/a> to a hockey tournament for transgender players\u2014where a woman who believed she was a man <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/trans-hockey-club-clarifies-nhl-ties-tournament-player-leaves-game-concussion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suffered a concussion<\/a> after being hit by a man who believed he was woman. You cannot make this stuff up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So will our sports ever return to just being sports? I doubt it, not as long as the woke elites running Big Sports are at the helm. Only by refusing to support such wokeness will Big Sports get the message. When will the American people start doing this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd the radical LGBT agenda must be defeated\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image: NBA.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Sports continues to publicly support the radical LGBT agenda<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":651,"featured_media":180151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"Big Sports continues to publicly support the radical LGBT agenda","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override_template":"0","override":[{"template":"2","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar-narrow","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"float","share_float_style":"share-normal","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","show_post_reading_time":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"0","show_popup_post":"0","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"1","show_post_related":"0","show_inline_post_related":"0"}],"override_image_size":"0","image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-715","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-715"}],"trending_post":"0","trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post":"0","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo_enable":"0","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":"","disable_ad":"0"},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_social_meta":{"fb_title":"","fb_description":"","fb_image":"","twitter_title":"","twitter_description":"","twitter_image":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"override_view_counter":"0","view_counter_number":"0","override_share_counter":"0","share_counter_number":"0","override_like_counter":"0","like_counter_number":"0","override_dislike_counter":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[804,513,805],"tags":[22982,7186,605,612,9521],"class_list":["post-180150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-entertainment","category-foreground","tag-ivan-provorov","tag-lgbt-ideology","tag-nba","tag-nhl","tag-wokeness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can we just watch sports, please?
