For me, personally, I don’t expect this to stand for everyone.
I look back at why I liked sports so much as a kid. It was just the pure competition, may be best man/woman/team win. The periphery was light noise, not even a distraction. Or maybe it was always there when I was a kid but I didn’t understand it, pay attention to it.
I swear the current state of money, greed, self interest, disloyalty … talk about sapping nearly every ounce of joy from what was once pure …
I really want to see their best against our best … both give all they got, the victor rises to the top. Competition, no noise.
It’s why I gravitated away from my favorite sport, baseball, back in the early 90’s … the cancellation of the WS was the final straw, but even before that, the heavy free agency … and later … I need to feed my family (Sprewell) …. It just pulled me away from professional sports. I’ll admit, Jeter drew me back not because the Yankees were winning but I liked his style, what he stood for, he was “old school”, what I admired about athletes.
Does anybody else find all this outside shit sapping them?
