I just think “professional sports” has become a joke. It doesn’t always have politics embedded in it, but it often does. I watch none of it now. I have no wish to be lulled by their Bread and Circuses.
“I just think “professional sports” has become a joke.”
That sums it up nicely.
Talking NCAA sports in the winter, It could be womens sports tix prices use to be free for NCAA events and near nothing for WMBA now they are 30 bucks for each little munchkins seat for the big program to come to town. The hotdog is no longer $2 from the varsity club. With one or two programs NCAA sports being professionals, it cost alot to open the areana on tuesday night for 350 people max because of the number of doors to monitor and the base amount to clean the restrooms.
Nobody and their Institutions is going to be rewarded for most NCAA sports outside of the top .1% on olympic teams. Hopefully the football and basketball teams can pay for the bus and the arena staff the other 310 nights a year.
I don't even think it's a joke anymore.
