It's hard for me, real hard, but I'm doing it. I've given up on pro sports. Fuck their ignorance. Hope those kids get the paychecks they think they deserve when 3/4 of the population no longer supports their revenue.
America baby! Either realize how lucky you are or GTFO
It seems all too easy to do it, but don't go back.
I gave it up long ago when my oldest kid (as a tiny pede) asked me to go outside and pay with her in the backyard once Saturday afternoon. I realized that she (and then her younger brother) were more important that a pack of overpaid assholes on television. So, I went out and did fun and dumb stuff with the kids, instead of sitting around watching sports. We'd always take the time to go to the park, or go to a museum, or go do something dumb like a great big scavenger hunt (I'd take one kid and a car, the wife would take the other and her car - it would always end at a fast-food joint for ice cream and such where we would all compare notes.) One time we drove like 3 hours in the mountains one autumn just to look at the trees changing color and the snow creeping down the mountainsides, stop at various playgrounds at every small town along the way, then drive back for 3 more hours.
Now that they're all grown up and moved out, I have a frig-ton of awesome memories of hikes, building lopsided yard ornaments, camp-outs, gardening, and thousands of other things. Scares the shit out of me at the thought of only having team stats and bullshit watercooler conversations to think back to.
Even if you don't have kids, GTFO of the house and go do cool shit with the wife, GF, or even by yourself. After you turn 50, you'll thank yourself constantly for doing that...
To that I would add, learn a new skill, or for some of us graybeards, relearn a lost one. Personally, I've reignited my love of making electronics and robotics projects come to life. I still feel good making my own projects and repairing so many things that would otherwise be bought from China even though it's almost impossible to buy components that aren't manufactured in China these days. Now, here's hoping that some of those supply lines make their way back closer to home, I'd absolutely love to never see a crappy Chinese datasheet again.

I'm one of those people that dabbled in drugs. (Except for the kinda drugs Floyd was on minus the weed). I've done basically everything but heroin and meth. Did alot of blow when I was young and plenty of pain killers too. Also got into some pretty serious drinking for a while. Only thing I really do now is some weed sometimes because why not it's legal here and I'll be damned if I don't have any enjoyment living in a liberal shit hole.
I was able to stop those kind of things cold turkey. When they took away T_D on that other gay website I was having serious withdrawals. I cannot give this place up.
I remember watching a documentary about the Minnesota Vikings and how Coach Bud Grant made the team practice the pre-game "ceremonies" in order to "get it right". One of those was how to stand during the National Anthem. He made each player tuck their helmet under the left arm/hand, and put their right hand on their heart.
No scratching your crotch, no spitting, no mopping around. You had to stand at attention and line up properly.
His logic was that if you couldn't be taught to do the basic things right then you'll never be able to learn how to the do the difficult things right, such as learn complex formations, be able to I.D. a formation pre-snap, how to audible to another play, etc...
A shame he never won a Super Bowl. However, not much you can do when you keep running into some of the best teams in league history (Steelers, Raiders, etc...)
They're all Millennials now. The least patriotic generation this country has ever seen. The generation that thinks their world view is correct and everyone else's is wrong.
This is why the world seemed to change so abruptly in the U.S. They are running everything. If someone older has a spot they want, they accuse them of being racist or sexist, etc...
I don't even want to watch sports anymore, three years after watching my final football game. Two years after my last college basketball game. I have no desire to sit and entertain myself that way. I'd much rather invest my time in something beneficial to either my soul, my mind, my muscles, or my wallet.
Recently gave up sports due to tall this. Spending time at a lake-house, boating, jet-skiing, bbqing, and sitting by a fire-pit enjoying time that is real. I am actually very thankful this happened in a way, it woke be up to the waste of time and attention sports is.
Now compare this to former Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant:
BUD FLAGS ABC FOR UNPATRIOTIC CONDUCT Ed Sherman, Chicago Tribune CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Why bother staying for the game?
''I think the national anthem is the highlight of the game,'' said Minnesota Vikings` coach Bud Grant.
Grant was upset because ABC was not going to televise the singing of the anthem Thursday night. It was sung at 6:59 p.m., and the Viking-Bear game went on the air at 7 p.m.
The television audience missed the patriotic moment. The Viking cheerleaders carried American flags, and Grant and his team stood at attention to the delight of a cheering crowd.
Gave up football a couple of years ago, which was pretty difficult, I spent a lot of time with people who liked the same team as I did and had a great time with them. I am fully weaned of that now. The rest of sports I have no problem giving up.
I would like to take one second to pay respects for the world's COVID deaths, and eight minutes for the world's heart disease-related deaths, to gives each equal measure of importance in terms of current daily deaths.
Yes, it's silly. It is silly for grown men who are paid to play a sport, to disrespect the National Anthem over an issue they know nothing about at the behest of an extremely polarizing, vulgar and even terrorist movement. It's silly. These men are silly. BLM are Marxists trying to overthrow society. The warm bodies that comprise antifa and BLM in the streets are losers. The Democrat establishment cares only about power and money. The professional athletes who continue taking a knee are just sillies. They are stupid, dumb, low IQ, moronic and just plain silly. They are silly men who play a game as a profession and think that by kneeling they are somehow accomplishing something. Grown men, the ones that are great, do not perform silly empty gestures because great men do things that actually improve the quality of life of those around them. The black man, who put swings in a park for exercise and for the children, and was later accused of hanging "nooses" did more for his community than any pro-ball player who takes a knee. It is childish, immature, irresponsible and doltish for a pro-athlete to take a knee. Only silly men do such silly gestures. Silly men are over emotional, act without substance, divide society over issues they don't have a clue about and act as if they are actually doing something good. I expect such behavior from a ill mannered 12 year old boy who whines about going to church with the family and giving an hour a week back to God when he just wants to sit in his room and play video games his usual eight hours a day. These athletes are just as ill mannered and foolish. So yes, they are silly. They are silly men doing silly things and the fact they aren't really even sure why they are doing it, makes them even more silly. They deserve every bit of contempt thrown in their direction.
Voting with your wallet, or in this case with ratings, is almost as important as voting in an election. If you support these organizations with ratings and money, they will only get worse.
How many antifa do you think watch sports??? Just look at them, my little 120 German Shepard puppy would eat them for lunch. Just go fishing swimming camping hiking or play tennis or golf and just stop participating in professional sports and send a gentle message, KEEP YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS OFF THE FIELD THAT I PAY FOR.
Baseball was my game. Stopped years ago when i noticed all these rules and changes were coming and the way they traded good players for other players instead of building a well rounded family of men like they used to so people can grow with the team. It became 100% CORPORATE and NOTHING GOOD comes from corporate America.. Nothing. Only defilement of what works to make more pennies.
Any one who continues to watch sports despite the evils that have been promoted and allowed are no longer Patriots but fucking sport nerds who are no different than Magic the gathering card players.
Yes the big football jocks who are all about FOOOSEBALL are just as stupid and corrupt as the fucking nerds who waste their time in any pointless hobby.
Well it's a good thing none of this matters in boxing. What matters is what you do in the ring. It's life or death. And no Ali wasn't great because of his activism, Ali was great because he beat everybody, took years off, became rusty, lost some bounce in his step, came back, and beat everybody.
don't watch don't care. don't watch highlights. don't read articles. nothin. those salaries will not be sustainable with any kind of significant viewership loss. and those contracts are locked up. revenue coming in goes bye bye while still owing $180 mil/5 year contracts to players? sucks to be you.
I'm now weening myself off baseball - my last sports respite. All other (major) sports were dumped long ago. I must say that masks, empty stands with cardboard cutouts and fake fan noise is helping accelerate the process, too!
I watched the NFL, NASCAR, NBA, and even MLB while a kid and well into adulthood. No more. People that won't stand for our great country, the USA, do not deserve my support. I now have plenty of time for other interests including many books to read. See ya later, fuckwits.
And we already knew Seguin IQ is room temp and Lehner can't keep his head on straight for a week at a time. Reaves felt some melanin pressure born of naivety and Dickinson selected the wrong Stars to emulate.
Sad because i was hoping for some good sports (Shit i was considering even MLS) but my Country and that beautiful flag means more to me than sports. Until they stop being woke no more sports
It's hard for me, real hard, but I'm doing it. I've given up on pro sports. Fuck their ignorance. Hope those kids get the paychecks they think they deserve when 3/4 of the population no longer supports their revenue. America baby! Either realize how lucky you are or GTFO

Great advice from Elder Pede.
This man knows.
Saturday for the family, Sunday for God
^^^ Very much this ^^^

Good for you on giving up your sports addiction!
My new addiction is THEDONALD.WIN !! MAGA

Thank you
You are not alone. I just built and AR15 and plan on shooting on Sundays instead of watching football
You gonna post it Sunday?
I don't want those kneeling fuckwits to get a dime. Replace them all.

Bud Grant = Alpha Male Roger Goodell = Beta Female
A shame he never won a Super Bowl. However, not much you can do when you keep running into some of the best teams in league history (Steelers, Raiders, etc...)
Fuck dude Kaepernick really ruined all professional sports single-handedly.
Communists ruined it. He was just the tool they used.
Naw, they chose this path, eyes open.
They know the cost of being woke.
They're all Millennials now. The least patriotic generation this country has ever seen. The generation that thinks their world view is correct and everyone else's is wrong.
This is why the world seemed to change so abruptly in the U.S. They are running everything. If someone older has a spot they want, they accuse them of being racist or sexist, etc...
Kaepernick must be laughing so hard that skinny little cunt
Sportsball is Kae-bashed, you might say.

Don’t watch it’s not worth it !! Do something with your life instead of watching tv
All sports are ruined for me. Even college. You know they're planning some SJW "events" during those games (if they're played.)
Gave up football a couple of years ago, which was pretty difficult, I spent a lot of time with people who liked the same team as I did and had a great time with them. I am fully weaned of that now. The rest of sports I have no problem giving up.
MotoGP is where it's at. They had a moment of silence for the world's Covid Deaths, and ZERO political racist bullshit.
I would like to take one second to pay respects for the world's COVID deaths, and eight minutes for the world's heart disease-related deaths, to gives each equal measure of importance in terms of current daily deaths.
All of this started when a washed up quarterback didn't want to lose his job. It's all just so silly.
Silly? Would you like someone playing foul rap at a loved ones funeral? Because I see it as even worse than that.
Yes, it's silly. It is silly for grown men who are paid to play a sport, to disrespect the National Anthem over an issue they know nothing about at the behest of an extremely polarizing, vulgar and even terrorist movement.

BOYCOTT ALL sportsball. Enough said! TRUMP/PENCE 2020 KAG2020
I won’t forget. Fuck them.
NBA season has been up and I have no idea how my team is doing, and it feels good.
I wish Vince McMahon didn’t sell the XFL, it was glorious when it was on, and he would make sure no bullshit ideology perverted it.
Now the Rock owns it and he’s just gonna Cuck it up, he plays too friendly with establishment organizations.
Voting with your wallet, or in this case with ratings, is almost as important as voting in an election. If you support these organizations with ratings and money, they will only get worse.
Lest we forget!
Gee, I hope the ncaa doesnt follow suit.
No pro sorts for me.
Anytime someone kneels it's like "fuck you america." It's sickening.
No TV , just the donald.
Damn right
They only have careers and big paychecks if there are fans. Conservatives have been by and far the most numerous fans of football and NASCAR.
Ignore sports, and when they lose their money....they'll come around.
"Forget already?"
Not likely. Pepe Farms remembers...

lifelong fan, never watching again
Not too tough for me. I used to occasionally like to watch the NFL but I'm completely done now.
Lucky for me not a single competitor can bend the knee at Jel's Marble Runs.
Well it's a good thing none of this matters in boxing. What matters is what you do in the ring. It's life or death. And no Ali wasn't great because of his activism, Ali was great because he beat everybody, took years off, became rusty, lost some bounce in his step, came back, and beat everybody.
And nascar!

Not paying for the NFL ticket package this year. Bootleg streaming sites if I even want to watch a game.
I'm now weening myself off baseball - my last sports respite. All other (major) sports were dumped long ago. I must say that masks, empty stands with cardboard cutouts and fake fan noise is helping accelerate the process, too!
I wish I watched sports so I could stop.
Sports can be a great national pastime.
Now it’s a paid globalist political platform.
Pro sports could have just gone away over a decade ago and everything would be better.
I watched the NFL, NASCAR, NBA, and even MLB while a kid and well into adulthood. No more. People that won't stand for our great country, the USA, do not deserve my support. I now have plenty of time for other interests including many books to read. See ya later, fuckwits.
embarrassing. I thought athletes were the alpha males of society? not the soy boys?
I want to go to an event just to flip off and call the players faggot to their face when the come out on the field. Then leave.
The NHL allowed it. ONCE is too many
I'm watching the Islanders and I will keep up with the Yankees and watch Aaron Judge at-bats when possible.
And we already knew Seguin IQ is room temp and Lehner can't keep his head on straight for a week at a time. Reaves felt some melanin pressure born of naivety and Dickinson selected the wrong Stars to emulate.
Fuck sportsball. I stopped watching when i realized my fav players didnt speak english and hated my city, while getting paid millions.
Sad because i was hoping for some good sports (Shit i was considering even MLS) but my Country and that beautiful flag means more to me than sports. Until they stop being woke no more sports
