It is about you if you want to set a good example for your son.

Here’s an idea. Instead of watching, play some. Get together with some like-minded parents and play sports with your kids. Or let them play and you watch or officiate.

Let them root for themselves and each other.

Baseball is alive and prospering in flyover America's sandlots and low minors. Even in my 70's and with poor health, I assist in coaching youth recreational baseball. Nothing is more rewarding than helping an eight year old figure out how to p!ay the game. Simply joy shown by a player when they start to learn how to catch, hit, and throw. That simple joy is what is missing in the big leagues.
