Who here can stand to go without college sports?

This being a college sports website, how many of you can boycott their favorite athletic events and schools? Seeing the NCAA’s recent political proposition of eliminating female sports by allowing men to participate, is this enough to drive you away?

Let’s not forget the BLM movements across our favorite schools, as well...

I can definitely live without them. Sports are fun to watch but they are far from necessary or important

I have gotten a lot less invested since they have gone down that route. While I still watch MSU it is no longer cant miss TV and I dont watch everyone else as much. I do think I could do with out MBB and watch less football. College Baseball is the hardest for me.

I can take it or leave it... I already canceled my season tickets that I had for over two decades and quit sending money to UA... I watched very few football games on TV this past season and really did not miss them...

There are other things that I can occupy my time with and be perfectly happy...

I’ll go watch college baseball live and the gators baseball team on tv occasionally.

Other than that, frick them most of the time.

The days of watching college football all day on Saturdays is over for me.

Same. Really am finding it hard to care too much. If it’s on maybe I watch. If not no biggie.

I barely watch now as it is. Syracuse football sucks and probably always will. Once Boeheim retires my interest in basketball will decline to zero. The older I get, the less I give a shite about 20 year old kids in colorful jerseys.

The sporting complex in this country is circling the drain. Can't wait for it to fail.

I used to love it, too, man. That was back when sports was a place I could escape from politics. It’s became unbearable over the years. The only thing I’ll now watch is the UFC. Dana White is actively involved in politics, but I may as well choose a based institution if they all are going that route.

I don't watch women's sports. Hard to boycott something I don't watch. I'm not going to stop watching men's sports because of women's sports issues, either. I think it sucks for the girls competing, and it is really dumb to let biological males compete with real females. Hormones or not they have larger hearts and more lung capacity on average than the real girls and an unfair compettive advantage. But I will still watch football, men's basketball, and baseball because I need the distraction from the idiocracy we now live in.

Its really easy to do. I miss the 90's, sitting on the pier in grand isle listing to the baseball team kick the ever living shite out of everyone with no option to watch it on TV even if we wanted to. Those days are gone and not coming back. These days I rarely if ever watch a football game, don't catch many baseball games. Spend my time working on the house, fishing, hunting, etc. Life is better when you don't HAVE to watch sports that nobody you know is playing in.

I haven’t had to boycott. And I probably wouldn’t unless some more shite happened. But I’ve lost a lot of interest in all sports except MLB. And part of the mlb thing is it’s mindless background noise while doing stuff or sit in the chair at night relax and watch a ballgame stuff.

As for LSU, something happened last year. I don’t know what it was but I didn’t care if I watched or not. It wasn’t actively saying “I won’t”. It was “I’m in the middle of something, ehhh” or “oh that’s sounds more fun”. Was weird, I didn’t miss attending an lsu home game from 03 to about 2015. Made about 2 road trips a year and my whole weekend revolves around “what we doing for the game”. Last year, NADA
IDK, if it’s cause Joe Burrow ruined it all, Covid, BLM BS, or we weren’t worth watching. But something changed.
Maybe I’m just becoming my Dad who when you call him about the game will sometimes say “forgot they played today” lol. Or will call and say “hey, what channel is LSU playing on?” 5 minutes before kickoff. Kinda admire that lol

I can definitely live without college or pro sports. It used to be an escape and a place where we could come together. Now it is the exact opposite.

I'm glad I got to go to the lsu championship game last year. Great way to close out that aspect of my life.

Haven't watched a sporting event outside of my kids in over a year.

Easy. Sports aren't important at all at the collegiate and professional levels. Sports are important for kids to learn life skills, but after that it's about something else. I don't need Sports anymore.
