When Baseball and Basketball haven't returned because of players arguing over salaries and owners complaining that they can't make a living on restricted capacity events.
One sport has returned full time with absolutely no crowds in the stands and is doing double duty making up all the missed events, that sport is NASCAR racing.
When players and owners took a knee not one person in NASCAR took a knee, they stood in formations, removed their hats and covered their hearts.
When you figured how much it costs $$$ to show up for a race with trucks,crews and whatever, this is amazing.
Just imagine what the electric bill has been for each of these race tracks that didn't sell one hot dog to make a buck.
BTW the last 2 races from BRISTOL race track were as good as it gets for great finishes.
Now I will get off my soapbox and go vote.

I agree. Baseball is now off my list as a sport. It's nothing but big business. There is a local team I think and they have played their 32nd game. Not sure how that played 32 so fast. Must be double headers and most days. I think they have been playing for 3 or 4 weeks. I heard it on WLW 700 talk radio this morning driving in.
GO NASCAR!!!
