Thank you for putting up a video of Mr. Watt. He died in March 2021, it would be good for all who read this to pray for his soul, may he rest in peace. I always listened to his talks gladly, I hope that his soul was saved.
He makes a good point though and it is largely true.
Nothing wrong with playing fatasy sports, video games or watching tv. It’s all about moderation and self discipline. You can’t let’s entertainment and relaxation take the priority in your day.My favorite point that he makes is that men feel powerless at work, on the roads, really everywhere these days. So it makes sense that they'd look for power in other places, even in a fantasy role. Hence, the rabid "fanatic" that many of these men become when watching their favorite sports team.
Most guys have demanding bosses and nagging wives, with the majority of these men falling short in life. But when their team wins, it allows them to "win in life" if even just for one day.
I admit myself to playing fantasy baseball, although I play for money. It gives me the sense of placing myself in the GM's position of a team, something I never will be able to actually experience myself. I can buy low and sell high on players (much like stocks) and have the same feeling as being a successful investor. This hobby is something that I can't give up. Even for me, sports has become too essential here in the US to completely ignore it.
I do think though that removing yourself from a fanbase is liberating. Even though I still watch football to appreciate the skills of certain players and keep tabs on my "stocks", I am no longer on the emotional rollercoaster during games. This at least allows me to appreciate skills, without actually idolizing anyone or any team.
I only accidentally discovered who won when watching footage of hordes ofI did not watch the super bowl. I have no idea what happened. I have no idea who won. I feel completely satisfied.
I had to look this up and somehow I am not shocked. If LA fans act this way after their team wins, imagine the damage they would have caused if their team lost! The city is filled with thugs and this just makes me despise the NFL more. The vandalism may not be directly the NFL's fault, but seeing fans act like this is yet another issue to turn me off of pro (or college) sports.I only accidentally discovered who won when watching footage of hordes ofjoggerssports fans looting and destroying their city in celebration.
This is just another excuse for lawlessness when the city lets the inmates run the asylum after drunken celebration. Not really sure NFL or sports entertainment in general really has much to do with it.I had to look this up and somehow I am not shocked.

Of course, the NFL stood up (or I should say 'kneeled down') for BLM so in a way they also encourage this kind of behavior.

It might be an excuse just as the police killing someone is an excuse to loot and riot.This is just another excuse for lawlessness when the city lets the inmates run the asylum after drunken celebration. Not really sure NFL or sports entertainment in general really has much to do with it.
Sports fans have always been violent, going all the way back to the Byzantine Empire, when the Nika riots erupted on January 13, 532 A.D. after chariot races at the Hippodrome in Constantinople, which burned or destroyed nearly half of the city. Even the magnificent Hagia Sophia churchI wonder was it due to being authentically happy that their team won or was it just a good excuse to riot and cause mayhem? There were a lot of sports-induced riots in the 2000s. I actually got caught up in a couple of them when Boston won a few championships. We really haven't seen a lot of this occurring since then, which is good. Of course, today, the riots that happen are driven by political reasons.
Imagine being such a diehard sports fan you literally die hard.The Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, after some dithering, sent in his army and the soldiers slaughtered tens of thousands of rioters.
