I'm very curious how people will react when sports come back. A lot of people have learned to do things without sports and I'm curious how many will continue vs making an entire Saturday/Sunday or evening focused on sports.

If sports struggle to bring fans back then the salaries of these individuals will go down as well, he got paid so he won't care but future players may care.

Anything that even resembles a sporting event has gotten crazy ratings.

People will flock back to watching football

Especially in the NFL where the majority of their money made is from TV

i fall into this boat pretty easily. i love football, and was pretty die hard at watching big NBA and Astros games in the spring...but the more time i've just spent with my family, outside, fixing the house, etc. on weekends i find myself not really missing it at all. and looking at how expensive it is to go to the games (went to a few Saints/Pels/Astros/LSU baseball games a year) i dont think im going to ever really go back. i can illegally stream games i want to see just fine and move on with my life

i could also just be being dramatic and overrating, but i went from hating this sports break to being completely OK without it a lot quicker than i would've thought

And it hasn't been pretty. I'd say this period of no sports illustrates why sports are so important if anything.

I know I have had LSU season tickets for 24 years this year. I might change my mind but as I sit here today I doubt I renew again.
