I was the biggest professional sports fan ever. I watched it constantly. Now, I never turn it on and do not care about it or miss it. If I feel this way, shit has changed. I never imagined a world where I could live without it.
All part of DS programming: addiction to soaps, dramas with endless episodes, "news", sport etc so you don't notice what they are doing. Good to break free.
Totally agree. Even when I was super into it, I was still aware that it was programming. Kinda like being a drug addict but at least knowing it is a problem. Maybe that is why I broke free.
Habits can enslave, need to be careful which ones we indulge in.
My husband was like that. We even had cable to support his sports addiction. In the car radio sports, sports all the time. Then we cancelled cable abd he started waking up. Then the months leading upto the stollen election, the the election and January 6th. We haven’t watched a pro sports team since last March maybe. Feels good he got off Of it.
Same here! Been a lifelong fan. I turned 30 last year and I think now that I am older than most of these athletes I used to look up to, I see them now more as talented individuals instead of heroes. A great portion of them are just normal dudes, but a good chunk are shitty people.
I don't feel the same loyalty to my local city's teams anymore. They are purely corporations out for profit and give fuck all about their fan bases.
Simultaneously, the great statistical hoax happened last year, combined with the over the top social justice garbage force-fed into broadcasts, along with live sports without fans, which just flat out sucks and 75% of the energy is out the window.
I still tune in for a big game here and there, but my viewership is easily 90% down. I'm voting with my dollar and at the same time freeing up personal time to improve as an individual.
Same.
