Just can't get into sports

I was hoping to find out what was wrong with me. All I did was type the phrase into Google search, "I don't care about sports," and BOOM, I found this site.

When I was a kid, I use to watch baseball and basketball a lot. I lived in Chicago, so watching the Bulls was fun when they won championships, and I was a Cubs fan, and always watched them loose. Whatever.

I use to listen to a lot of sports talk radio in Chicago. I use to know a lot about things happening in MLB and NFL. But these past few years, I just found more and more that I have a hard time getting into games... any game.

Football, there is too much time between plays, and most of the time, you see an incomplete pass or a guy try to run into a crowd of people and he gets tackled right away. The play is over and you wait a minute to see something similar again.

Baseball, too much time between pitches. Then most of the time the batter just stands there as the ball goes by, or he swings and he misses or he hits it foul. If he does get on base, then it's a matter of having to wait and see if the next batter can help bring him home or not.

It finally dawned on me this summer.... I really am not interested in sports. I am sick of hearing about the Cubs and Brewers battling for first place. i don't care. The Bears lost today, to open week 1 in the NFL. I don't care. I went to my friends house to watch the game. His laptop was next to me so I started playing around on Facebook and such during the game.

I think I'm not into sports anymore, because it just takes a long time to dedicate to. Many times, you see something and then it takes a long time to see a result or someone score. It's like, when someone doesn't score, it's not fun to watch. That's just me, I guess. I'm glad there are other people out there (and five years ago, I use to think anyone who wasn't into sports was lame or just didn't get it - ha!).
