I loved tennis back in the 1970s and 1980s. I remember McEnroe-Connors and Evert- Navratilova but now it's just boring. All those nameless Europeans. πππ
shareNBA Basketball:/
They were giants, superheroes, they could fly man!
I would routinely watch 6-8 hours of NBA hoops on a day off, I loved it
Then they all started getting tattoos and acting like angry hood-rats and talking trash instead of playing hard
The fake 'throw yourself on the court' fouls sort of did it for me...pathetic, wimpy behavior
Hardly watch anymore
So true. Pat Rileyβs Knicks couldnβt even play in todayβs NBA. Oakley and Mase played hardcore, prison yard ball. I miss those teams.
shareExactly
The NBA is just sad today
The energy of the 80s and 90s is completely gone
Oakley was a hardballer...loved him
These guys today seem like punks
NASCAR, especially when it was Winston Cup. Once they changed to the "Chase" points system I was done.
shareBasketball. Now I just find the sport completely boring. Teams scoring multiple times a minute lessens the value of a point. If you don't get the point this time, you can get another opportunity soon after. Your turn, now it's the other team's turn, then back to your turn. Also everything is a foul. Even the slightest slap on the wrist is a foul. the shot clock also doesn't make sense. If I am holding the ball to myself, come at me. Why should time help you get possession back?

Amen! Couldn't agree more. The only time it's exciting is during March Madness.

I used to follow hockey more closely when I was playing it on the regular. Now it's an occasional amusement.
shareMotocross. I used to roadtrip to all the races I could. Camping for the weekend, partying at night, and waking up hungover to the sound and smell of dirtbikes. I miss that.
shareI still love baseball but watching it on TV is tough for me these days. They waste so much time between pitches. It seems like for every minute of game time you end up watching 2 seconds of the ball being delivered to the plate, then another 58 seconds of the batter adjusting his cap and batting gloves, the pitcher walking around the mound, and players in the dugout spitting sunflower seeds.

It is a great game but it's often really boring...Hate to say that
I have taken to not watching most of the season and sadly, I'm not the only one
NBA is crap too...I just watch the NFL now even though their annoying kneeling nonsense has become a big turnoff...
I think we deserve a huge, champion level ping pong tourny to get all into!!!
Screw the major sports...bunch of jerks
Kneeling is a non-issue. After the first couple weeks or so, it caused controversy, but everyone adapted and thought about it. Do people really want to give up watching the NFL over kneeling during the anthem? Freeking ridiculous ! Players fidget, they bounce around, they look like they don't give a crap about the anthem, it's just an automatic gesture we have to pretend to care about. I like when people make it Real. I hope Kaepernick makes as much money doing his thing as he might have playing.
shareI do care though and it was annoying to me
Never said I quit watching because of it
I agree. The only time I watch is during the World Series, and sometimes not even then.

They have to find a way to speed up this game. They are in danger is losing a generation of fans.
shareI hear ya !
shareTraitors! Baseball for life! (except hownos on account of him being canadian and all)
