Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been a season ticket holder, even bought Titans PSLs when they came to Tennessee. Over and over I made that long drive from Memphis to Nashville for games. I was a huge NFL fan for decades, basically since the early seventies. But I haven’t watched a game since the protests last year. Now I’ve found I don’t even care. I’m done with them.
I’ve been a Memphis Grizzlies fan since they came to town. I’ve been a season ticket holder for them, too. But I fully expect lots of NBA protests. And now their coach has started blabbering about the Confederate statues. To make matters worse, their foolish young owner seems to think rapper Jay-Z is some kind of important philosopher god. So I’m done with them, and that’s a shame, they were fun for a while. I’m keeping my money in my wallet.
For now I’m still a St. Louis Cardinals fan. I hope this junk doesn’t get out-of-control in baseball, but if it does, I’m done there, too.
I even started thinking about college football. When I found out Florida was playing Michigan here in Dallas, I was excited, I shelved out the money (let’s just say it was a lot of money) and went to the game.
Besides the fact that Michigan killed us, afterwards, I really thought about and asked myself, was it really worth it to spend that kind of money for a game? Especially in light of the fact that so many Florida players are in trouble with the law. It’s just not the same, anymore.
But for now, I’ll keep watching College Football, but I am getting closer and closer to walking away for it as well. I think playoffs and the big money are ruining the spirit of it.
