Sports Watchers??

[GeoRodRR]

Anyone here follow any sports teams?

 

Alot of the friends in my area get together for NBA, MLB or NFL games.  I dont watch hockey only because Ive never really played or followed as a kid.

I tried not to get to emotionally invested but when my team loses I think "I hope the brothers from that city are happy."  But I dont really mean it.

 

Sports talk?  Anyone?

I used to watch the NFL but lost interest over the years. I still sometimes watch a Jaguars game from time-to-time.

 

I also used to watch college football and basketball ... particularly the Florida Gators. However, since NIL, I have lost interest.

 

My daughters watch some NHL, particularly the Tampa Lightning

 

I never watched MLB

 

I do enjoy watching Curling when I find it on TV

College football isnt too big in my area.  havent really considered how NIL factors in, besides the insanity of it all.

 

Curling is too close to cleaning for me so I havent tried to watch it yet

[Tortuga]

I watch MLB occasionally, especially California teams and the World Series.

The only sport I'll watch it the Soccer world cup next month  

[GeoRodRR]

Looking forward to world cup as well.  Theres a stadium not too far away but tickets are too expensive for me so ill probably just stick to watching

 

theres a few brothers from Portugal in my hall so I know theyll be inviting people over to watch

NFL football, mostly, but also NBA if I'm in the mood. Went to a fun Super Bowl party this past February.

With the transfer portal, a player might start for the Georgia Bulldogs one season and start for the Miami Hurricanes the next.  (That player was known for winning games but never could deliver a championship.)  It is really hard to keep up with players.

 

Another thing that caused me to start losing interest a decade ago was all the injuries.  Seeing a really good player get drafted by the pros and play one season, then he gets injured and now he functions mentally the same as a ten-year-old child is not acceptable.  College age players dying due to an injury is too much for me.

 

How about a game where the defense controls the ball and the offense can score without ever touching the ball???!!!

I agree. just tells me our bodies were not made for such extremes as professional sports demands.  Now a days kids are getting sports surgeries from playing too much.

Of course you can blame the public and constant demand for games and content.  Its big business

 If I'm right, she is a guard. She moves the ball like Bird and Johnson. She hits 3 pointers way beyond the 3 point line.
