And in response to Baghdad Bok’s inane cartoon: Who cares? Professional sports is little more than than a mindless entertainment outlet. An unreality bread and circuses TV show meant to distract from real world issues. No wonder ratings are down. People have more important things to worry about, especially trying to prevent/repair the damage the Mango Mistake has done and is doing to our country in his incompetence and pique.
Maybe you should address that sometime, instead of this pathetic attempt at distraction.
OK. After a bit of thought, I figured out the surface level. But the rest of it is literally insane (which is crazier than simply being all about pro sports)… and stupidly so. It is Bok, though, so I guess I can believe that he still thinks that bringing an arena full of people into close contact during a pandemic, with yelling and beer, is a great idea so it makes sense to lampoon the opposite. Maybe?
The Atlanta Dream (WNBA, and partly owned by GA Republican Senate candidate Kelly Loeffler) were MONTHS ahead of everybody else on the Black Lives Matter movement.
Also, the Atlanta Hawks, in JUNE, again, months before the Milwaukee Bucks walked out on that playoff game, promised to turn their arena into an election polling place. The rest of the NBA followed the Hawks’ lead by turning their arenas into polling places.
The Dream and the Hawks deserve a huge thanks for leading the way on Democracy!
The new conservative cartoonist fallback position for the rest of 2020: repetitive and sometimes racist cartoons about NBA players because they got nothing else.

Obviously, the most important thing on Bok’s “mind”.

I propose we replace Bok with a cartoon cutout, it’ll make more sense.

The NBAs ‘bubble’ worked well. End of story.

In other words, the owners and networks didn’t make enough money to please themselves. What a shame.

Too bad we can’t replace low rated, ineffective Republican senators with cardboard cutouts also.

Can’t they use cardboard cutouts of players that have Covid-19 ?

Bok might be “distracted” because he’s busy planning to attend #45’s next Inaugural Ball!

Bread and circuses.

On a side note, I heard the German national football team was replaced by cardboard cutouts for the game with Spain the other night.
