re: I can’t watch sports I don’t care about on tv anymore. Product is just so bad

I don’t really give a shite about college basketball and the product just can’t grab my interest with no flow.

Some of these games they just couldn't score any points. That's hard basketball to watch.

The OP is just a chronic complainer and seeks attention.

That’s precisely my point

My question is-----Why would you watch sports on TV that you have no interest in in the first place?

I like basketball. I have no rooting interest in either Tennessee or Houston. Seemed pretty simple, but I forgot where I posted. Mingo regrets the error and will walk you through it like a 5 year old next time

People who are worried about efficiency in time (like myself) "record" the games and watch them starting with a delay, so you can FF through all the commercials and half time. During tournament play I start at least 45 mins late and I catch up right about the end of the game. Last night I caught up with the Duke game with under a minute to play, and today I caught up with the Houston game about 2 minutes after it ended.

With sports to me, you lose an element of it not watching live. Even worse, great moments can be ruined from your phone blowing up about it…bad enough when I’m even slightly behind on a YouTube tv stream

The quality of play is really bad with so many roster changes / lack of continuity along with draft eligibility rules. Just not the same as it was. It is really hard to watch, agreed.

The commercials suck too.

Back in the good ol' days we at least got to watch hot twins chewing Doublemint Gum or old sports stars drinking beer and talking sh*t in a bar.

Now it's a never-ending barrage of auto insurance, sketchy drugs and woke nonsense. How many people with full blown AIDS are watching a damn football game? Why is USAA spending hundreds of millions of dollars to have Gronk tell 90% of the population they aren't eligible for their product? What the ever loving f--k is that Pedro Pascal dancing in a fever dream singing "you're beautiful, now work it" crap?

I swear corporate marketing in this country has gone insane.

States this...

But is shocked when people don't care about your opinion of college basketball

Agree. I can't sit through games anymore, including football.
I've tuned into some of these basketball games at the end when I noticed a close game, which three haven't been many but other than that haven't watched much.
Even most OU games, I'll start watching after like an hour so I can skip through the commercials. Which blows because I can't talk about the game with friends during the game. But still better than the alternative.
Spoiled by nfl redzone. Going to be interesting to see what their new format is like.

You should check out Rugby.

80 minute game with broadcast that are two hours with only commercial breaks before the game and at half time and in the MLR at the 20 minute mark each half but there the commercial break is only like a minute long.
