“will remain devoted to the bread and circuses”
If I can stop watching sports and paying to see Star Wars in the theatre, anyone can :-). This stuff just isn’t that important!
I quit watching NFL a while ago for other reasons, but the more recent events simply solidify my decision to not have that game show on in my home ... nor will I watch it elsewhere.
I gave up MLB ... that’s mainly due to the scumbag owner here in Pittsburgh ... life went on and was better :-).
I won’t see another film in the theater until this assault on the United States stops. That includes Star Wars VIII (that’ll end a streak of seeing every sequel on opening day).
What you find when you give up this garbage is that you save more money and discover that there is SOOOOOOOO many better things to do with your time :-). Hell, SLEEPING is a better way to spend your time vs. getting all riled up watching an NFL game ... at least your body is getting some downtime :-).
I have done the same thing except I will watch my alma mater college football on television. Last movie I saw was Dunkirk meaning that when I rarely go to the movie, it will be for reasons more serious than mindless entertainment. But all professional sports, networks, sitcoms, MSM news, are off limits. I admit a weakness for British period dramas like Downton Abbey, Victoria etc. and other Netflix/Amazon offerings that I my mind have some redeeming social or intellectual value.
