      Different strokes for different folks

      There’s a lot of sports I don’t enjoy watching but some are pretty cool IMO

        I gave up watching sports in large part because of the rampant gambling push. I still love the game of football itself and I do miss seeing the excitement and athleticism, but the ads and shitty, greedy owners ruined it for me. In doing so, it also freed up tons of time not playing (and being frustrated by) fantasy sports, so that’s a bonus. A down side is that when someone asks me a sportball question I can only shrug. Overall more time not being on the couch is good and, in my opinion, there seem to be more pressing matters at hand than sports.

      Don’t worry, they’re plastering the same shit in your news as “prediction markets”.
