I don't watch any sports like I used to. Basketball and baseball have taken the biggest hit... I just don't have time anymore to keep up with all of the games in the middle of the week.

NBA. No interest whatsoever in the regular season. Don't watch games. Will watch the later postseason rounds, though.
Why? Idk. It has become boring to me. Not enough real title contenders. And yeah, the NBA has always been like that. But maybe not to this extent. Cavs/Warriors is basically the inevitable Finals matchup. And that makes it hard for me to care about an 82-game schedule.
I feel the exact same way about the NBA. When I was younger I would watch a ton of regular season Rockets games, but I can't get into it because I know how tiny the chances are they could actually win a title even having one of the top records in the NBA. I'll watch their playoff series but I'll still do it knowing they won't make it past the conference finals.
The quality of basketball in the NBA has gone up significantly, it's just a shame it isn't spread more evenly across teams in the league

NBA-Too many terrible Timberwolves seasons
NHL-Heart got ripped out when the Stars went to Dallas. Still watch college when I can.
MLB-Until the post-season it is boring to watch on TV. Prices are getting steep for good seats too, so I just go to minor-league games now.

Have you stopped watching / following a sport? If so, why?
College Basketball - I realized how crappy of a product it was.
Though the real reasons for both of those is just not having enough time nowadays with the big, important job as well as having young twin boys. That'll do it every time!

I've gotten where I only watch pro sports when the playoffs start.

NBA. The product is terrible
College basketball sans March Madness. The one-and-done has killed the product IMO. It also has a direct effect on the NBA product as well
MLB sans Playoffs.

I quit watching non-LSU college basketball about 5 years ago. In the 80s/90s I was a big fan of college hoops in general.
I quit watching LSU basketball after the SEC Tourney loss to A&M.
Ill watch LSU again when they get a new HC, but thats it.
College basketball is a poor product talent-wise, theres too many teams, none of them are interesting, etc. i could give a shite about Duke-UNC or any of the rivalries. I cant believe I ever did.

College football. It is the single most lopsided sport on the planet.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and the quality of product is subjective, but to most basketball fans - the quality of basketball being played now is at an all time high

Only because there's so many teams in the same division.

I still enjoy all sports, but I don't watch as much as I used to. As I've gotten older, it's become less and less important to me. I used to watch as much NBA as possible, this year I haven't watched a single game yet.

You stopped watching the NFL because of one player?
Reading is hard.

Yes. Michael Jordan retired.

Basketball. The players are annoying and the media coverage is even more annoying. Prima donnas as players and the overall feel is that the media and league caters to the demographic of black people ages 12 to 25.

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.

NBA - Really lost interest. It's just not fun to watch for me anymore. I'll catch bits and pieces but for the most part don't watch.
MLB - Never really got into it. Too many games. I'll catch a few playoff games usually but I could not care less about the sport.
NFL - This season I watched a few saints games because of proximity but I haven't watched any other games really.

Well said. As I get older I'm realizing sports is more about entertainment than actual competition.
