Hey NBA, NFL, MLB, WNBA, MLS and all semi pro sports franchise -

- Players, coaches, fans and owners, now might be a good time to weigh in on ICE and N.G. deployments in your fan's cities by refusing to play, watch and otherwise participate in those cities until a complete removal of said forces is effectuated!

in the sports community.
For too many people it's the most important thing.

It would really really be impactful if there were a boycott of sports events.
I'm sure there are some MAGA athletes though.

Remember how apeshit people reacted when athletes took a KNEE in protest?

Sports is an industry. They're not going to stop playing any more than Walmart will shut its doors.

Maybe ICE should try to *ahem* physically detain them like they do women and children off the streets.

That might be fun to watch.
