    Reading this thread makes me so happy I long ago lost interest in watching sports. It sounds like a complete headache to be a fan of any sport these days.

      Not only is watching sports harder it’s littered with cheating because betting was let get it’s hooks in it.

        Betting or gambling in general is a disease. Not only does the house have a superior advantage, it has an observed harmful impact for all.

        It’s awful. I tried watching the NBA finals after years of not seeing commercials almost ever, and it was just unwatchable

          Sport + Americans = enshittification. They ruined F1, and more football hydration breaks are coming. They took over MotoGP and immediately killed the most popular race, then race those stupid Harley baggers.

          Fried chicken, Powerade, pizza, Pepto bismol, laxatives. Repeat. They sell you food you have to drug yourself to eat. Now “fans” only watch because they gambled on the game.

      NFL isn’t bad, at least if you just want to follow your home team. The games are still broadcast free over the air, just got to buy a $20 antenna and you’re set for life.
