I never stopped watching but I will admit the lack of crowd / game day atmosphere has led me to not pay near as much attention to it than I normally would. Not seeing the student sections going nuts or seeing 10k drunk fans at 8am for game day just makes it feel like a chore.

And if not, no loss

Judging by your post history you've spent the whole last month banging away on the election board. You've just traded one mindless outlet for another, congrats.

Haven’t watched a down all year and don’t miss it. Haven’t watched any basketball either, and only watched an inning of baseball on opening day (simply because I was in a sports bar). After watching sports consistently for decades, I now find I don’t miss it at all.

Also stopped watching Fox News, don’t miss that either.

No.

Haven’t watched anything football in 2 years now and honestly, i really haven’t missed much or am even bothered by it.

It was sort of like cutting cable back in 2013. It was odd at first, now i could careless to ever have it again

No fans even kills watching it on TV for me. That plus canceling games, players out with the Rona, players opting out, teams starting WRs at QB. I've watched less football this year than I have in 25-30 years.

I was into it when I was in college - then off and on since the national championship in 2003 - I actually only watched the last few LSU games and then the national championship last year - I don’t consider myself a bandwagoner because I don’t own any LSU merch - just the degree I earned from there

I’ve always been a Saints fan - but had gotten disgusted the past two years and then drew brees selling out sealed the deal on that nonsense

So no I don’t miss it - my siblings are ready to commit me to the nearest asylum bc they can’t imagine their lives without sports

I'm still not watching any sports due to all the virtue signaling crap. I'm not even keeping up with it in the news.


I do miss it, a little bit. But not so much that I've any interest in picking it back up now. I havent ruled out next season, I'll just have to see how it shakes out.


That's me exactly. I don't even know who the Saints are playing each week, much less the times. The entire Saints organization let me down by their disloyalty to Drew. Not one single person stood up in his defense, then he didn't even stand up for himself. frick all that.

Maybe one day I'll feel differently, but not today.

I haven’t watched a NFL game all season. Don’t miss it all, and I’m someone who normally watched at least 40 regular season games.

I haven't watched any NFL games this season. I do miss it and I keep track of scores online but refuse to watch.

I wonder what their viewership numbers have been and if it's affected their bottom line. Lack of ticket sales have got to be killing them too.

Nope not watching. At gym tonight they had Steelers on 3 tvs so I watched while doing aerobics. Saw they had BLM on helmets. Eff them. They don’t even understand what it means.

You guys are all so brave and should pat yourself on the back for not letting sports interfere with you telling us how you’re not watching sports.

< 1 post/day doesn't equate to "banging away" on a board...


And the widespread, coordinated national election fraud is much more important than watching overpaid athletes who can barely speak properly try to dictate life lessons to me.

I never stopped watching, but I'm not a triggered snowflake.
