Exactly. Sports used to bringvus together. Now they drive us apart. Turns out that without the aspect of bringing people together the whole thing starts to seem pointless.

Professional sports essentially boils down to the premise that "the collection of professional athletes under contract for my home town will beat the collection of professional athletes under contract for your home town..."

Tom Brady caused many Bostonians for years to puff their chests out with pride that they, yes THEY, are Super Bowl champions! Now Tom Brady has moved to Florida and it is Floridians now puffing out their chests because THEY are Super Bowl champions!

When you think about it, it's all a bunch of juvenile nonsense.

Only thing I watch is the NY Rangers, Triple Crown and the last day of the golf majors.

Or a bi-racial couple.

Not saying there’s anything wrong with that - but the TV advertisers have gone well out of their way to show ads with a bi-racial couple.

As Jerry Seinfeld pointed out, it's rooting for the clothes, not the players in them since the players move from team to team.

I don’t watch much sports at all anymore. I got tired of a bunch of millionaires whining about poor people. How many of their millions have they given people??? None!!! Loud mouth punks. I don’t give even college football my money or time any more. I was for 98% of my life, a solid Alabama fan. I dearly loved old Coach Bear Bryant. I was still in grade school when he came to Bama I think. Anyway, I loved him, but really, I cannot stand Saban. Great coach, yes. Cannot take that away from him. But a ass hole in my humble opinion. I just don’t like the guy. So, I don’t follow college football anymore.
