We were huge football fans.
No more. We haven’t watched a game in over 2 years. Nor will we ever again.
The NHL will be it until they lose their minds.

It’s amazing how little my life changes based on “my team” winning or losing. Sports used to be fun to play and watch. That has been ruined over time. Now, I’d rather play golf with my sons or work in my garden than watch sportsball live or on television.
If I was the GM of the Giants and I could have drafted one player for my roster from any other NFL team, it would have been Darrell Green.
Exercise, playing sports, meditation, and reading constitute a good part of my free time.
They have allowed themselves to become tools of the Orwellian Left and many of the team owners have decided to take a knee on all this and surrender their dignity as well.
I do thank them for taking this route because they showed me that I do not need sports in my life (as a spectator). In real life, I now have more time on weekends to play my own sports with friends and family, like volleyball, cornhole and my new favorite KanJam among others such as billiards and darts.
I hope they all take a huge financial hit.
Ditto. Spectator sports are for drones.
I do all the same, except canoe instead of kayak.
If as a nation we took the money, effort and time wasted on sports and put it into something useful, like the space program, we could have had colonies in space and on the moon and space based solar power generation years ago.
Soon, if we are not there already, we will get to a point in which anything new on TV is not worth watching. My wife still keeps up with NCIS and NCIS LA, but we watch almost no new shows. I mainly watch TCM and my vast library of Blu-rays and DVDs. I watched almost all the Astros' games for several years, but I am done with MLB. I think I will re-subscribe to the Metropolitan Opera channel and stream some operas.
I read a lot of nonfiction. These days, I try to find older books that have not been tainted with political correctness.

Mark Bavaro back in the 80s was a Redskin killer. Basically the same play over and over. Everyone knew it was coming but the Skins never could stop him.
The 70's and 80's were great Redskin years. Now, they are the WTFs.
