Tickets to pro sporting events are absolutely stupid. And it’ll continue as long as people (mostly White people) insist on living their lives vicariously through their favorite sports team and or player.
Me, I quit drinking that kool-aid way before the big 3 sports leagues went woke.....college as well BTW.
Traded....................
Ronaldo did get a ton of money to go to Saudi Arabia and Messi was reportedly offered over 300 million to sign as well
He chose Miami for the lifestyle and he already owned a huge place in Miami
College Sports is going the same way, my school the Florida Gators are getting ready to spend $400-500 million to remodel their stadium
Public Foots Most of the $1.4 Billion for a Stadium. Buffalo Fans Cheer.

I’ve become quite detached from almost all pro sports and pop culture.
It doesn’t bother me, I just used to know who everybody was.
Only thing I watch now is tennis and F1.
I know more foreigners than Americans in sports for the first time ever.
I used to be able to name the starters for every NBA team.(90’s)
Now I know a dozen or so people, and they’re old…
It’s ruining college football.
I mean I wish AR success in Indy, but seriously did they watch his game film last year at Florida?
>>> The quarterback has compiled a 25-24 record (and a playoff defeat) in three seasons with the Chargers. <<<
25-24 without a playoff win is worth $262.5 million. Good for him.
I’ve gotten into Cricket. I’ve been watching The Ashes, which is the series of Test matches between Australia and England.
They just started a professional cricket league here in the US, we’ve got a nice stadium in Grand Prairie, I’d like to check it out, I’ve got some Indian friends, who are really excited about it.
But he’s black and can do back flips…
He will never be a good QB. Are they going to make him a TE?
This is an abomination. Everyone is going to sit on their fat duffs and watch as billions are frittered away FOR A GAME. 68 quarters of ball, like 510 minutes of football play. Works out to $100K per minute on the field. What a waste of time and resources.
I might watch.
Dallas has tons of Indians right?
“No more ‘free’ games on TV”
Fine by me but I suspect that would be a bridge too far even for the nfl.
Dana White and the UFC got in bed with espn and tried to make many events pay per view on espn+...I’ve noticed lately that more fights are now available on regular espn.....like the much hearalded cnn+ I’m guessing people weren’t having it.....I sure wasn’t.
Tons! My neighborhood is like 70% Indian.
If you can talk Cricket with them, they will be your friend. So I explain Baseball to them, while they explain Cricket to me.
Lol. IT like you?
I follow the headlines of the NBA and MLB and my interest in NFL has picked up because I like watching football and I started playing fantasy football on Draft Kings for basically nickels and dimes
Also, pay per view nfl is gonna be great once they go to the flag football format full time regular season.....who wouldn’t want to pay to see that? 😂
It really depends on the fan base and how fired up they are, one way or another. .................
California Math.......................
I played one season of fantasy football. It made me angry and anxious.
“My guy is ******* open!”
