As a former pro sports enthusiast, that is a Sports-GoBroka-Athon that I can get down with.

I hear ya. I was an enthusiastic NFL season ticket holder for years and attended several Major League Baseball games most seasons. Went to some NBA games too.

No more. And I don’t miss it. Let ‘em dry up.

I had been watching Pro Football since 1972, nearly fanatically, and I just cannot watch anymore. For me, I never watched any other sport except hockey, and once I stopped playing, I lost interest in that too.

The league and it’s players see fit to treat me with contempt, as they arrogantly held their hands out feeling fully confident that people like me would be unable to reject them.

Fills me with cold anger.

Of all the things I despise about the Left, and there are many, the one I take most personally is their deliberate destruction of sports in every aspect.

I can certainly live without them, but it has meant that the large social group I have congregated with for the last 27 years is unavailable to me now. We had an excuse to get together, laugh, drink, yell like kids, and have a great time. Now, it isn’t happening. And for me, won’t.

And that fills me with a lot of bitter anger.

The only satisfaction I get out of it is that they are cutting their own throats, but don’t realize it yet. So there is that.
