As a non sports fan, I could care less if pro or collegiate sports come back as a matter of fact I would prefer they disappear entirely. Particularly GOLF.
Flaw in your argument is; I have been a Born Again Christian since 1961, I hold a preacher’s license, and have held to my belief system and taught it to others for six decades. Trump has nothing to do with my holding fast to biblical values, he simply sits on the platform that agrees with my moral and ethical values.

Start with the Johnson Amendment, continue on to the liberal Supreme court ruling that prayer, bible reading and Bible studies in public schools are unconstitutional, slip down the slope to Roe vs Wade and the ready availability of abortion, concentrate on everyone’s individual rights rather than sacrificing for the common good. Set up your own idols, values and heroes to replace the ones in Exodus 20 and you wind up hearing G-d’s voice saying to Jeremiah 3:13; “Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have committed crimes against ADONAI your G-d, that you were promiscuous with strangers under every green tree, and that you paid no attention to My voice,” …“return backsliding children,” says ADONAI, “for I am your master…”
Depended upon when Thanksgiving fell in the US. Once the Macy’s Parade took place and Santa was on the final float, it was Christmas season. So, perhaps this panel popped up on the 1st day following the 4th Thursday of November [the date set for Thanksgiving in the USA].
