good video. I haven't watched pro sports in years. I just can't sit in front of the tv for that long. I agree with you about doing whatever sport you love. I enjoy getting out and hiking with the family. I also just started cycling again after 15 years off. I rode 2,000 miles this year from this spring till now, I've never felt better.

I was watching high school college & pro. I gave it all up over 10 years ago. My entire life has improved mentally, physically & with my immediate family. I live my own life now, not within someone else's.

Point taken. I was never really into spectating sports myself. I'd rather play a sport or read a book than spectate a professional sport.

Well said, I agree completely. People in this country know more about football players than they do about what the government is doing to them. It's pathetic and needs to stop. How do these games have an affect on anyones lives? They don't, so why focus so hard on total non-sense?

Sports teams are not paying their bills from me. You are right. It's part of the modern day bread and circus that distracts Americans from the real issues that they should be educating themselves on.

Hey John, Funny you brought this up tonight. I have just finished 6 beers while watching hockey on NHL center ice all night. I watched my Islanders and Avalanche both win and it was very enjoyable. I don't go to the games or buy any of the merch. but there is no way I can give this up. It's like you asking me to give up my best friend. Now the Broncos I can live without. LOL have a great night Buddy.

I agree, sports have gotten out of hand. it's not even about sports anymore its all about making money and commercializing. Owners/players get paid way too much and charge way too much. I grew up on football/track/ basketball but all these greedy money lock outs are pushing me away too. I don't even watch it on tv that much anymore. On the bright side that is extra time in the weight room.

John I have said this for yearssssss! I can honestly say that I have NOT paid to see or watched ANY sports on TV as it has ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE MONEY ! Why should a Sports celeb be paid more than a teacher,police officer or firefighter. Take away the money and they become JUST LIKE US ! $ 60.00 for a seat @ an event-$ 10.00 for parking-$ 6.00 or more for a hot dog and a $ 7.00 beer ! GET REAL. That buys my groceries for a whole week or fills my fuel tank !

It has always surprised me how people complain about the money some CEO's make but not a word about professional athletes, who contribute nothing. People are obbssed with watching professional sports because they live thier lives in the shadow of someone elses abilities.

You're right, but some people just won't come to grips with it. Some just won't let go. I can't even watch a whole SuperBowl game (they 3 hours long?) my attention span is way too short. Plus, I just hate staring at human bodies, I find it disturbing. I'd rather play. Why should I watch?

Does anyone know if the athletes have been getting paid less in the last 6 years or have they gone up? I know colleges keep raising tuition every year. It's the greedy that have ruined the economy.

And college football and sports is so much more fun to watch than pro sports (to me anyway!)
