That's a fair one. True for a lot of people.

I suspect professional sports has not yet begun to fully taste the New Normal. They will find it bitter indeed.

Rev. Paul said...

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.

Ed Bonderenka said...

Rarely did.

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.

Rev. Paul said...

TB, I agree that they're increasingly irrelevant.

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.

Rev. Paul said...

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.
