To me, pro sports have been in a decline for a long time
************
Excessive commercialization turned me off a long time ago. The “events” are mostly advertisements with a few moments of the game interspersed here and there.
I have much more productive things to do with my time than watch this nonsense, and the insulting whining of hypocritical players, coaches and management.
Football has always been the biggest waste of time of any professional sport... calling them 60 minute men is laughable...
Literally the entire game, actual playing is 20 minutes or less... Most folks that go out and play flag football for an hour, are putting in more actual time moving than you see in a 3 hour long professional “game”.
