I see this sentiment everywhere, but why are we trying to dictate how people spend their free time, isn't that what the other side wants to do? As long as it's not hurting anyone, it shouldn't matter. And are you implying you can't go to a game with your family? Ever go to a ballgame with your dad? That's an American institution.

I will agree that if athlete worship goes away as a result of this, it's a good thing, however.

Not really the motto of a great people or country.

Not picking on you of course. But I think we need to regain our will power and cultural confidence.

I agree, this was probably not the right place to state the opinion but I've just seen pretty strong sentiment around here in general that being a spectator of sports is a waste of time and an undesirable characteristic. While in certain sense that might be true, I don't see the point of disparaging the ways others choose to bond with friends and family (as for a lot of people that's what being a sports fan is) and spend their free time as long as its not to anyone's detriment.

Of course, what we're seeing with professional sports here are a different matter as far as not being to anyone's detriment.

Very fair and reasonable point. Stay safe out there friend!
