In my opinion, they are all meaningless. Bread and circus for the masses to keep them thinking about politics.

But to each his own.

Exactly right: bread and circuses.

The sheep are too wrapped up with the antics of their favorite stars to worry about what’s happening around them.

I agree with you—I loathe the NFL & NBA. MLB is slowly making it’s way up to meaningless for me as well.

Heh, you saw the original Rollerball too? ;-)

I got rid of television in 1997. If I enjoyed watching pro sports I could not have done that.

I will say that over the holidays I saw a game or two at a friends place on a 55” 240 hz flat screen and was amazed not only by the picture, but by the quality of the optics of new cameras as well as the suspended camera viewpoint.

I asked the folks there, in all seriousness, with this new viewpoint and quality, why would anybody go to the stadium to see the game unless they were more interested in the stadium experience (e.g. tailgater parties) than the actual game?

I thought I was the only one who sees this!

In my opinion, they are all meaningless. Bread and circus for the masses to keep them from thinking about politics.

Seconded. What could be more meaningless than the outcome of some child's game played by adults?
