Last Christmas

 

 

          Last Christmas isn't just your typical holiday movie. it's also a delightful rom/com that has 

   heart (literally). It stars Emilia Clarke ( Game of Thrones) as Kate, an aspiring young woman 

   whose down on her luck, stuck at her dead end job until one day she meets a handsome strange

   man (Henry Goulding, Crazy Rich Asians). He gives her advice to become a better person and

   ends up changing her life for the better. 

          While I liked this movie, there was part near the end that teared me up a bit (spoiler: He 

   was a ghost who died in a biking accident and he donated his heart so she could live on.) 

   This movie was taken from a Wham song and predominately features George Michael songs.

Pro Sports Has a Big Problem

          Ever since the arrest and death of felon George Floyd back in May by Minneapolis police,

  many SJW groups (including BLM and Antifa) have been burning down and looting businesses

  in retaliation. The sports world has been affected as well as many of the sports leagues (MLB, 

  NFL, NBA, NHL) have been encouraging their players to speak out about it. Many have been

  not only wearing BLM shirts, kneeling during the anthem but have been sitting out playing in 

  protest. 

 

         But their actions come at a high cost as many of their fans who have been looking for 

  escapism during this epidemic, can't now due to their political activism. The forced agenda 

  the players are pushing are alienating fans who just want to see their favorite teams compete.

  In turn, fans have been tuning out in droves and ratings have been falling faster and faster.

  To take it a step further, the NBA even kneeled on 9/11, a fateful day in US history that 

  put social issues over the thousands of lives lost that day.

 

         When athletes pander to the woke mob on social media, they end up showing their 

   true colors and fans are tired of it. The fact that many of them claim oppression while 

   making millions and millions of dollars that the average fan dreams of making is something

  that their core fanbase can't relate to. 

           When we watch sports, we want to be entertained, not preached to. It's not that the

  players can't protest but when the issues takes precedent over the game itself, that's when 

  fans have a problem. With the COVID outbreak, it not only shut down America but also 

  the sports world as well, causing fans to take up something else ridding them of their 

  addiction. It's only a matter time before pro sports finally wakes up to the lost

  revenue and fandom that they have chosen to alienate. The leagues will be having a hard 

  time regaining those fans as well.  

           Fans didn't abandon sports, the sports leagues abandoned the fans.
