The Golden Egg

Professional athletes must by in large be oblivious to the consequences of their own actions. With many parts of the nation under lock down, millions are out of work and thousands of businesses have been forced to close permanently. Folks worried about survival are very unlikely to pay big money to watch others being paid millions to play a child's game. Add to that that a bunch of big-mouthed sport stars are demanding their own fans examine their "white privilege" and kneeling during our national anthem. Many now former fans served in the US military or had relatives serve or even die in uniform. I believe the truly privileged ones are the athletes being vastly overpaid, who do not realize that they are drying up their own viewer pool and with that, the revenue the teams need to continue paying them their huge salaries.
