Used to be a huge baseball fan, still love to play softball, but when the greedy players expected us to blame the greedy owners and canceled the World Series in 1994, I’d had enough.

I was a huge baseball fan, and I also stopped watching after the 94 strike. It didn't hurt my feeling that they struck; but it went on for so long that by the time baseball started up again, I found I wasn't interested. A couple of years ago, I started watching the Astros again (I live in the Houston area), and have gotten back into the sport again. The lack of interest I had for baseball all those years has transferred to football. I was already losing interest in it, but when the NFL got political and allowed the players to turn the NFL into BLM, I bailed on them entirely. The only sports I watch now are Astros baseball and the PGA Tour.

Thanks for sharing. While doing painting around the house last month, I caught most of the all-star game for the first time in a long time. Great game, but I still wouldn’t give up anything in order to watch a game anymore.
