9. How Can We Get Sports Elevated To Tr**p's Enemies List?......

I'm saying this sort of tongue and cheek I know - but someone came up with the No Kings Day and look at how successful that was at getting people's attention.

My thought that such a Sport shutdown - had to come from the athlete's themselves. Surely there are many athlete's that are worried about our current situation and are patriots.

Somehow - we got to get the attention of those people that watch sports and know all the corresponding statistics associated with sports. Many get engaged in sports as a way of not having to deal with the realities of our current dire situation and the news of the day. I'm just advocating that we somehow grab their attention and get them invested in helping us solve our Tr**p problem.

We currently have a government shutdown. People - not having to acknowledge that gov shutdown have resorted to losing their thoughts into Sports.

So how about a Sports shutdown. It might even be more effective than the government shutdown because in a way it would force millions and millions of Americans to take notice and get engaged. It would permeate their very existence.

I don't know how to organize such an endeavor - but I'm sure that there are people/Americans - that can come up with ways of engaging those Americans (lost in sports) to help dig us out of this hole we're currently in.

I agree - such a shutdown - can't and shouldn't come from just Dems.

But if such a feat can be launched and be successful - don't you think - bottom line - a Sports moratorium can work?

We got to start thinking out of the box now as everyday - the situation gets worse and worse.

Maybe we need to turn Yankee Stadium or the Rose Bowl into a ballroom!!!
