I've pretty much stopped watching all sports aside from the Saints. Reading the MSB is more than enough for me
Some people as they get older get more interested -- others less so. I'm in the latter category.
Hard even for me to believe I was once a big baseball fan, rushing home from school to watch Harry Caray and the Cubs.
One reason for my decreased interest is the increased thuggery of sports. I try to avoid this demo in movies and music; I don't need bread and circuses so much that I will put up with them in sports.

This is least prevalent in MLB. You should give baseball another chance.

Baseball and the Cubs particularly was extremely popular when I was a kid in NOLA. The Cubs on WGN was the tits. I'm 36 and I think my generation was the last to really love baseball first and foremost. Kids now seem more devoted to basketball football or soccer.
That 1994 strike was devastating to the sport and I don't think it ever truly fully recovered.

I've pretty much quit watching the NBA outside of attending a few Pels games a year. Parity is a joke and there are a lot better things to do 3-4 times a week than watch the Pels struggle to be within 8-10 games of .500.
NFL as well outside of Saints games. Couldn't care less about the manufactured storylines and vanilla play calling on both sides of the ball.
The only sport where I can sit down and watch a game regardless of team is CFB.
