LOL! I liked basketball in the 80’s. Loved the Lakers and Celtics. Loved the Magic/Bird rivalry. Then they retired and the league leaders became the bad boys. (spit) Haven’t watched a game
Ironically, one of the few “man’s” sports left is golf. That’s because they are largely independent contractors. If you want to play you get yourself there and take care of your own business. There’s still a few gentlemen & grownups left in that sport.
The broadcasting of sports is weaker than the past. There are some exceptions but the days of Jack Whitaker and Jim McKay are in the distant past. Now we get sideline reporters “(Insert coach’s name) TOLD ME...” in football. As if the coach didn’t tell anyone else. The over-infatuation with superfluous stats especially in baseball. Telling stories by analysts of their halcyon days when it has little or nothing to do with the game at hand. Athletes whom are self-centered and have little or no connection with my ideals. TV ads that are nauseating. The constant interruption with on-screen graphics. I could continue but as you can tell my devotion to sports has been on the decrease for a while. :-)
