Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”
Reverend, even it it gets their attention, I suspect they will not change. That said, I think it is time for professional sports to disappear. They serve no useful purpose now.
Never watched sports and I don't know if it's nature or nurture. Dad never watched sports, although he did take a very late in life interest in Philly hockey.
John, sounds like you grew up without it, so it never became a habit. We lived close to the St. Louis area for roughly 45 years, and I watched Cardinals baseball from time to time, and even attended a few games. But once we moved to Alaska in '03, I quickly discovered that I didn't really miss the Cards or baseball in general.
This is so true! Our parks, bike paths, and boat launches are seeing amazing levels of use. I thought as things opened up a bit it would taper off, but everyone is still going outdoors for fun and exercise.
That's pretty cool, threecollie. Big Brother hasn't clamped down on outdoor activities/free time, for the most part. Another benefit, up here in popular tourist destination (Alaska), locals are flocking to places & activities we can't normally get to because of crowds.
Seeing so many families out fishing, walking and biking together.
Gotta say, though, I really wanted to go to a couple baseball games this year. The Orioles have a minor league team with a great stadium near me that I used to get season tickets for. Didn't care who won the game - it's the summer experience.

That's a fair one. True for a lot of people.
Not me :)
I suspect professional sports has not yet begun to fully taste the New Normal. They will find it bitter indeed.
Linda, I believe you're right.
Ed, do you mean that you still watch sports? ;^)
TB, I hope you're right. If they can be hit hard enough in the pocketbook, it might get their attention.
Rarely did.

TB, I agree that they're increasingly irrelevant.
