Excluding motor racing, do you watch professional sports?

I exclude motor racing because I do not want to include it in this poll, because to my mind, it differs from other athletic endeavors due to the motor being involved.

As I have gotten older, I have become less interested in watching professional sports, to the point I don't watch at all. I am curious if I am unusual in this.

I would rather watch the Michael Jordan of dogs, than whoever is the Michael Jordan of today's NBA

Does professional pool count? I watch a lot of it. Live streams and recorded matches of the past.

Used to love baseball & football. But now? Nope...Screw 'em!

No, just motorsports and even then, it’s getting less and less. I’d rather just read.

I will be watching NFL when it starts (I like football), but have refused to acknowledge the NBA, and it's agenda. During the Summer, I hardly sit down long enough to watch a game, but will sit for a NPK race, homestead Rescue, or Alone, and Yellowstone.

Bicycle racing infrequently, mostly the tour and some track racing.

Sure. I love football, basketball, and baseball. If I have nothing else going on I love to catch a game. As far as the NBA goes, they’re political agenda doesn’t stop me from enjoying the playoffs. They’ve been great.

Over the past sever years, I find myself only interested in the big contests. Masters, Super Bowl, World Series. Probably won't watch the NBA at all.

Yup.

I watch highlights in the morning getting ready for work.

I'll see how the NFL does. I'll also tune-in to hopefully watch Clemson lose

With every political opinion I hear, the further I get from watching.

Over the years I have watched less and less. This year I haven't watched a minute of baseball or basketball.

I don’t fear black people, so yes I’m watching more sports.

Has nothing to do with black people, or politics It has everything to do with sitting on ass, watching someone else play a game, when I could be doing something productive .

No.
Racing is a sport. Any game that has a ball, even funny shaped balls like a hockey puck or badminton birdie is NOT a sport. It is a game. And watching someone else play a game is a wast of my time.

I just don’t care about games at any level.

This is about where I was a few years ago



DaveE, what makes you say it has anything to do with fear of black people?

I've never watched auto racing on TV, (I'd rather watch paint dry), and I love watching a baseball game more than ever. No TV in present home, however.

It seems like the people that bring up the black card are hiding some secret racist tendencies because I never even thought about race when I was trying to think of sports I’ve lost interest in.

I used to never miss a boxing match on tv and would set my dvr to record them and most of my favorites boxers were black but it seems like there haven’t been a whole lot of exciting matches lately so I’ve kinda lost interest.

I grew up involved in motocross. Ill still watch that from time to time.

I dont go out of my way to see it, but I find curling fascinating to watch. UFC is always entertaining.
