Let no lesson in "sportsmanship" go unpunished...even bad sportsmanship.

Maybe, but some of us also rediscovered high school, college and, where possible, even minor league baseball. I think that stuck for a lot of people. At least for a while.

I enjoyed going to Dodger Stadium, but the friends and family of the players weren't in the stands cheering for their kids. That made a difference.

The NFL lost a lot of money last season over Anthem protests so it will be interesting to see how this next season goes. I only started watching football again after my wife and kid started watching the Seahawks under RW.

But I hear you...ticket sales for minor league and collegiate sports grew after the walkouts and player protests because everyone likes to watch the game for the competition on the field.

Hotdogs, apple pie and baseball! It's an American experience.
