Tired sports fan thread

Tired sports fan thread

Anyone just feeling tired about sports now?

I used to be very enthusiastic and always looking forward to the games. I would watch them from start to finish including pregame and even postgame

Now though I barely even turn on the TV and just check my phone for updates for my teams

>MLB - i still catch games on the radio but postseason coming up and I'm like meh, most likely won't watch any
>NFL - already lost me in the second week, didn't even watch the Superbowl or most of the playoffs last year
>NBA - I practically stopped watching last year or even the year before that didn't even watch a single playoff game let alone the finals
>NHL - I'll catch the games on the radio and occasionally tune into the playoffs, preseason is starting I guess

Followed the Olympics from my phone app for medal count updates and highlights, barely watch soccer except for Copa America earlier this year

I barely even catch sports programming or commentary or whatever when games aren't on either

Anyone else feel this way?

Any remedies?

I used to watch 75% of "my" team's hockey games but it's dwindled down to 10%

School, work, and more adult hobbies just get in the way. I find that I'd much rather play sports in my free time than watch them because it's so limited.

>Something once interested me a lot
>Now I barely care for it

Sounds like textbook depression to me, remedy it by seeing your doctor.
t. College pysch major

- Rampant doping

- Hyper commercialism

- Ridiculous ticket prices

- Stadium taxes

- There's really no team anymore. They're all mercenaries.

- I got older than most of them

Combine all those together and no, I don't get as excited as I used to. These guys aren't my heroes anymore. It's really just an excuse to go meet for some wings. Without friends or some sort of social setting, sports are literally useless. Posting in gamethreads because of autism is fine.

Basically, if you're sitting at home and watching alone (without Cred Forums), you need to rethink things.

>- I got older than most of them

I'm 28 and this one is hitting home the most.

It's not even rookie sensations at 19 or 20 making me feel bad, it's regular every day players.

>used to watch every minute of 4 hour, 6 hour and 12 hour races, and atleast 18 hours of 24 hour races of select series
>now I don't even read the news

Curious who are your teams?

That's like me with video games, used to be really into them but then lost interest.
Sport is good cause you can just do nothing and act like its a hobby.
Feels ambivalent man.

OP here, I live in Chicago so:

White Sox
Bears
Bulls
Blackhawks

Canucks and Whitecaps

Maybe watch different sports?

Ryder cup is coming. Could try that?

start betting so you can lose money while getting frustrated

Turn the volume off and avoid the Jewish propaganda.

Don't watch ESPN. Don't watch HBO.

I watch more sports as I get older but I cut out all the bullshit. Just watch the big events and get news from podcasts. Don't bother reading every single article and watching all the shit tier analysis on tv.

I know enough to have a conversation about maybe 10 different sports but have given up the quest for autistic knowledge of every team and player.

On Monday night there were two meaningless games in the PL and NFL. Years ago I would have watched both just for the sake of it. Complete waste of time tbqh

Watch e-sports instead

Wave of the future right here

Sports are for dumb people. It's really that symbol.

Smart people consume books, great television shows, and cinema that contain great ideas and themes. Dumb people can only enjoy symbol stuff like victories and defeats.

Luckily there are people like me who have grown up and outgrown symbol forms of entertainment. If you're still into sports when you're above 21, kill yourself

There are very few things you can enjoy your entire life, sometimes you just get burnt out on stuff.

Doesn't have to be the end of the world, just let it go for a while and try out some other things. Maybe you can enjoy sports again when you come back to them.

>adult hobbies
I am curious, what hobbies?

just a regular Cred Forums poster


fuck off shill

His 'adult hobbies' like posting on sports themed message boards.


SHILL

>tfw to intellectual to enjoy the simple things in life anymore

>symbol

Kek what's this comic based on? Almost seems wonderland-ish.

Try watching a different sports rather than the "Big 4".

I think you guys are suffering from media overload because the media basically stuffs all these things down your throat every day.

Try to watch something else and let the thrill of competition come back to you.

I highly suggest the LCS and Worlds which is coming up very soon.

>please watch our sport

watch archery desu
comfy as fuck and fulla qts

>I think you guys are suffering from media overload because the media basically stuffs all these things down your throat every day.
Agreed.

>I highly suggest the LCS and Worlds which is coming up very soon.

Yeah, no. Video games aren't sports.

I don't think MOBA is a good genre to start with, way too confusing if you're not that familiar with all the different heroes/items/skills etc.

Also they're shit.

tfw to intelligent for watching sports

tfw to intellective to observe sporting games

fuck video games. take it to Cred Forums

>to

sports are bad goyam. play vidya until you're a soft sedentary agendered blob.

It's fits with this thread though.

if I had the time to watch people play video games I would use that time playing video games.

right in my trap!

you could say that for sport as well

>download(6).jpg

Why not just go out and play sports instead of watching them?

except some people have jobs that are physically demanding and sports become impractical. Video games are a far more passive activity that take little to no organization to start.

What teams? Maybe your teams have something to do with it?

See

yeah, but that's the point.

Sports have real life benefits.

Video games are pissing your time away.

>being so old and retarded that you can't do both
life must suck for you

What real life benefits?

Why would I want to sit on my ass playing make believe no matter what age I was?

i wasnt following the nba much 3 years ago. now im on it more than ive ever had. it could be also thing of that the sport has for us. im assuming ur in ur early 20s. right now the big names weve grown up with are gone from the scene. timmy, kg and kobe just retired ffs. if nothing else is entertaining for u it could be depression tho.

>getting tired of competition

Sure is low T in here. It isn't the sports OP, it's your shit life.

-physical strength
-cardiovascular health
-being of the proper weight and physically attractive
-camaraderie/social interaction


I could go on and on

its okay, I was old and dumb once too

>no social interaction in video games
1/10 bait

fat nerd or jew shill?

Learn to read

>it's a Cred Forums pretends they're an old man in their mid-late 20's and too overwhelmed to care about things anymore episode

Are you the same person in the other thread calling everyone who said that handegg is dying a jew?

What? You can get all of those things much more efficiently without playing sports.

And playing sports is not going to give you much of those things anyway. Working out and exercising is going to give you those things. Not throwing a football around for 30 minutes a day.

Playing sports is a massive waste of time. Working out is not the same as playing sports.

>barely watch soccer except for Copa America earlier this year

that's your problem senpai
you don't watch the best sport, that's why you don't watch sports

>implying black people can be jews

>Cred Forums

nigga plz. video games will give you zip. nada. zero.

It would be like me going on Cred Forums and talking about training for marathons.

But it's ok, I know you're just a shill. FUCK OFF.

I can see why people without brains don't see the benefit

>you're just a shill

A shill for what retard?

Games can give you social interaction. There are studies that prove they improve memory and problem solving skills. You sound like you're just trying to talk about a subject you don't know much about. I'm not saying that video games are going to make your life somehow great but neither is going to the rec center on saturday evenings.

>It's really that symbol.
>Dumb people

It's depression bro

Nigga fuck off. Exercise is important. Few things are more important actually. Why are you on Cred Forums and not Cred Forums if you're not a shill?

You know what the best ting for depression is/ Exercise.

>i claimed exercise was unimportant
>you can't like both sports and vidya

Let's be real, after around the age of 20 or so, vidya is for fat losers.

How did this thread get derailed into talking about video games?

"e-sports" aka "video game" people are out of their minds.

M-maybe take a break and come back

Why won't you want to watch playoffs?

This.

Cred Forums is a general shithole now. I get most of my sports news/memes from twitter and barstool now.

CapCom Cup Is starting, who /hype/?

Now? Whats the channel on twitch

Who to watch for?

Completely justified, american sports are boring af

The olympics got me obsessive. I bought a basketball and want to buy a plastic water polo goal.
I want to ride a bycicle on the weekend and maybe sign into rowing class.

do it

Reminds me of my friend who hates football and said he could easily be an nfl qb because "its not hard to throw a football down the field"

Do it user.

>not watching any October baseball or the fall classic
>didn't watch lebron vs curry
>didn't watch the SUPERBOWL

what the fuck user?

Fuck off!

Wait till next year.

I have depression and I came into this thread to say this.

>Hyper commercialism
this and part Cred Forumsitizing of everything in sports.
some handegg faggots take a knee during the anthem and every ESPN anchor is suddenly an expert on police shootings.

You gotta be really low test to get tired watching other guys play sports

Maybe all his teams are shit and he's tired of losing all the time?

Dude don't know what to tell you. Just take a break and see what's up.

Generally

>Boreball
>Niggerball
>Special 3 Hour Edition of Commercialhandegg

Are you trying to make OP watch sports or make him kill himself out of boredom?

I only really care about baseball and hockey now.

NFL's jew shit has finally got to me and NBA is boring to me now too.

I just watch twitch poker all day now. Don't know what happened with my sport interest.

What sports do you watch then?

Probably soccer lol
