TIL not wanting to get disproportionately targeted, shot, and murdered by police officers was a "side" in a political issue.

The blue lives matter crowd isn't tuning into basketball anyways. They're watching NASCAR, spreading COVID disinformation, and banging their cousins.

Regardless of what side of whatever political issue you choose, I think the majority of people tune in to entertainment to be ENTERTAINED and enjoy the medium in which they choose to spend their time and entertainment dollars. In that sense, they prefer their entertainment to be apolitical.

This isn't rocket science. Various parts of the country have been under some form of restriction or lockdown for more than 1 year. Of course, in person attendance was pretty much down to zero, but don't you find it the least bit interesting that with so many people stuck at home as a potential captive audience with limited entertainment alternatives that more than a couple of entertainment mediums failed to attract more viewers with some actually losing viewers?

TDIL that supporting first responders and police officers automatically endears me to other things, whodathought. And before you backtrack, that's essentially the portrait you are painting with that broad brush of yours.

No backtracking here... if you feel the need to respond to Black Lives Matter with bLuE lIvEs MaTtEr you're an asshole... and statistically more likely to bang your cousin.

Then I'm afraid that makes you a stereotypical moron. And you just essentially changed your statement anyway. Of course, if someone can't say that any life matters or counters with another, that's their problem. I think little of all the "movements" today because there's always another force at play.
