Absolutely correct. This is coming from someone who - used to - love sports ball. That is, until, it became yet another avenue of politicization and bread + circus.

Stay strong brother. Shooting guns, video games, growing plants. 3 things that are more fun/rewarding than sportsball right off the top of my head to keep ya busy and happy.

I still play them but they have heavily infiltrated the gaming sector. Couldn't even play War Zone or Apex Legends for like 3 weeks without seeing a BLM solidarity message

That why you should look into the indie game scene.

Hell fuck yeah! Added gardening to my hobbies a few months back and I'm finally producing for me and mine, and DAMN does it feel good to make food!

Yeah man. I officiate sports at the HS level and I'm just about done with all of it.

You are very brave. And doing a good thing. My boys are athletes. I appreciate anyone willing to officiate.

Florida, finally, raised the pay for officials last year. One of the most sports-heavy states with some of the lowest paid officials. It's no wonder we couldn't recruit new people. Even with the pay bump, I'll bet it's still tough. Very thankless sometimes.
