[QUOTE="It_is_my_time, post: 1314746, member: 5301"] I quit watching sportsball a few years ago. I would know just enough for small talk with other guys, mostly learned from other conversation or trends on twitter. I lived and died by sportsball when I was a kid. Knew all the stats, all the odds, all the players, most every big play, on and on. As I got older it wasn't as big of a deal but I still followed teams and story lines. But as things disintegrated in the USA, I lost interest and found interest in other things. Now it just seems silly to me. Watching other grown men live and die by the actions of an athlete on a court/field. That athlete doesn't even care as much as the man cheering him on. The athlete still gets paid millions and lives far away from the serious problems we face day to day. The athlete wouldn't want to talk to the man if he see him out in public. And if that athlete blew his knee out and never made it, the man wouldn't want to talk to the has been if he saw him in public. Anyway, the more you ween yourself off of it, the less interesting it is. Eventually it just seems silly that you ever watched or cared. This is maybe the biggest benefit of this virus. The millions of men who are without sportsball and rediscovering what is really important in life and getting cut off cold turkey. Sure most will go back, but not all, and it is a step in the right direction. I wish you the best in dropping the sportsball temptation and hope you find something else that is more beneficial to fill your free time. [/QUOTE]
