re: Sports you use to be a huge fan of, but now just average interest

College basketball- similar to nba. I just don’t have time for the regular season, but I’m all in on March madness. breakup of the big east and the 1 and done rule have killed the regular season interest for me. I was too young for the Patrick Ewing era big east, but mid 90s with iverson, kittles, Ray Allen was my favorite.

I'm just like you. I used to love college basketball. Watched the conference tournaments religiously, followed all of the players, etc... Now, I don't follow the sport at all until March Madness. The quality of basketball is so bad and you don't know any of the top players because they only stick around for one or two years.

Pretty much all of them except FBS football, social media and cable have killed the appeal of everything else, more isn't always better.

All of the big three pro sports I barely watch except the Saints. Cannot remember when I watched an entire pro game in any sport. And since 2005 I constantly watch soccer and care more about Liverpool FC than any other team. And I HATED soccer growing up, I have no clue how any of this happened.

I really want to get into EPL. I’ve tried two years in a row and the two games I’ve watched both ended 0-0. Lol

I need action!


I adopted Tottenham so maybe I picked the wrong team. Going to London for my 40th next year so I imagine once I see it live I will be hooked.

College football, 100%.

I was a die hard for pretty much my whole life since I was about two. But these last few years of mediocre-to-terrible LSU football have turned me off almost completely. Like I don't even enjoy tailgating as much as I used to. And with the Orgeron hire I will likely stay that way for a while.

College basketball is a little bit of the same for me...and similar reasons: trash Trent Johnson year or two, then awful Johnny Jones stint turned me completely off. I went almost ten years and missed maybe 15 home games. But now I let my season tickets lapse and don't even keep up with the schedule anymore. But Will Wade could turn that around for me though.

In both of those cases, my apathy translated to just the sports in general as well, so I rarely watch other teams play either. It's sad.

MLB and probably soon to be NBA

UFC - I used to be all unto that, watching every show they put out. Now I can barely name the champions.

Also have lost interest in the NFL.

Have always and still love CFB and MLB.

Interest in NBA is growing.

I was never huge into the NBA, but there are probably star players I've never even heard of. I follow the Hawks and watch some playoff games, but that's it. I had to look up what "boogie" was.

Meanwhile, I'm more interested in MLB than before. Part of that is the Braves rebuild and part is becoming an old man who likes to watch a few innings a night without any real commitment (as with NFL or CFB)

Congrats on growing up. 162 games, 82 games is too much to watch for an adult with actual responsibilities. Unless it's a bad beat in the playoffs, getting pissed off for more than an evening after a loss is childish.
