As for baseball, let’s be honest. It’s boring to watch and it’s even boring to play. Ordinary people who aren’t being paid to play baseball cannot endure it except by playing it co-ed with beer, which makes practically anything endurable including watching paint dry.
About 90% of baseball consists of the players standing around while touching their privates whenever the TV camera is pointed at them or sitting around the dugout pretending to watch the other team while touching their privates. They often spit.
Why do people pay to see millionaires lolling about in a park and hiding in a little concrete bomb shelter while spitting and touching their privates? I can get that from the vagrants who live in the park and under the viaduct. For free.
If you’re a baseball fan, your life is very small. There’s a reason this game hasn’t caught on in the rest of the world (except in Japan, a country that practically defines boredom).
By the way, this has nothing to do with the fact that I was cut from the 9th Grade baseball team in an unfair, cruel and incompetent decision from which I’ve fully recovered and about which I have no hard feelings.
How about football? I’ll admit that football is fun to watch. It’s something like the Roman circus but without the lions. You get to watch overweight men collide helmet-to-helmet at breakneck speed and sometimes break their necks. What’s not to like?
Well, there’s the business where they taunt spectators who’ve paid a full day’s pay for a ticket by kneeling when the National Anthem is played. And they complain that they get paid only a million dollars a year unless they perform well, in which case they get only ten times that. And they pretend not to hear a player’s ugly antisemitic, Hitlerian remarks.
And they plan to play something called the “Black National Anthem.” If there’s a “Black National Anthem” then doesn’t that mean there’s a black nation? And conversely a white nation?
Are they actually promoting racially segregated nations? Has anyone thought this through?
Miss Baseball and I’ll miss College football.
Nope, don with them, and that especially includes the colleges, John Wayne ostracized.
I quit NFL a few years ago. I quit NASCAR a few weeks ago. I now have much more time on my hands.
Nope!
I thought I would but no. Actually haven’t kept up with NFL and NBA for a long time. I would pay a small fee not to have to watch soccer.
Hope they all go belly up since going commie.
Nope, done with them, and that especially includes the colleges, John Wayne ostracized.
Take Me Out to the
jumbotrons....done with them
I will miss college football. And baseball mostly because our son is a big fan, and I would miss talking to him about it. And like Rummyfan said, it’s nice to have on in the background when doing other things, like reading FR. :)
Not fair to ask me: I was done with them after I came home from my war.
Nope! These over privileged idiots don’t deserve any recognition.
I dreaded to miss the SEC games as I’m a grad of a uni involved. Until the coach went all “BLM”.
Screw ‘em. I’m done. And I’m tempted to send the signed football the coach sent my family right back to him.
No. Getting exercise is more important and fun too.
One
Bit
Soccer is boring, baseball is not.
I miss hockey! Pro, minor league, roller hockey, college, any kind of hockey.
Been watching reruns of the Penguins playoff games from 2009, 2016 and 2017.
Not a bit. I did miss the NCAA basketball playoffs.
Too many racists in sports these days.
I’m dying over this paragraph:
“...millionaires lolling about in a park and hiding in a little concrete bomb shelter while spitting and touching their privates? I can get that from the vagrants who live in the park and under the viaduct. For free.”
