If they all stood tall and said, "I will not play as long as that criminal is in office," guess what would would happen. People love their football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, volleyball, women's basketball, women's soccer. Hell, even Pickleball, more than they give a shit about TSF.

The people would revolt. If college football suddenly shut down... guess what would happen.
