re: Have you stopped watching / following a sport? If so, why?

Great topic.

MLB for me, my favorite sport by far as a kid to watch and play. Will Clark (especially while on the giants) was my favorite player. I'd always watched and loved the NBA, and discovered football around 1994. Once Clark left the giants and I started following football my interest in baseball subsided a little bit.

The Sosa and Big Mac chase got me back into it, but soon after my interest died down again. When I started sports betting in the mid 2000s I got back into baseball for a couple seasons, but pretty much lost interest in MLB and college basketball around the same time when I left college and joined the workforce.

I've seen gotten back into college basketball a few seasons ago, but I doubt I'll follow baseball ever again.
