Same here. Really, lost all interest in pro sports over 20 years ago. Too many prima donnas, too many that have never been told NO since they were 12-13 years old, and someone found out that had a “talent” for some sports. Owners wanted the local yokels to finance a new stadium, and still charge out the wahzoo to see some game. Bread and circuses are all we have now days and I have better things to do with my time.

Also, it was a better world when actually winning a title meant a nice financial windfall for the winning players. Now the money they get for winning is a drop in the bucket compared to their salaries.

I think it was the late Lyle Alzado who said when he saw his opponent he was thinking, “He’s trying to steal my money!”
