If you are serious about these things being an issue for you, you won't watch the games. If you do watch, you are helping these things to happen. Bitching about it online isn't going to stop it. But if people stopped watching, that would stop this sort of thing.
Of course, I expect someone to say, if they personally stopped watching, it would not stop, because other people are watching. That is true, but if one watches, one is part of the problem. Pretending otherwise is just pretend.
