“”How can anyone still watch NASCAR?””
It’s the same with some NFL fans. During pre-game show, the players could defecate on and burn the American flag on the 50 yard line and some of those stooges will still watch the game. They’re really disgusting people.
You do miss all that at first but you quickly find other things to take up the time. For me, it was hiking, camping, reading, listening to music and learning how to cook more exotic recipes (not necessarily in that order).
I'm much better off for it. Though I do "cheat" a little by watching clips on YouTube of favorite shows or movies. Even some old sports highlights.
Right now I'm reading some Raymond Chandler. Very good stuff and it beats your average television show by a mile.
