I've never much cared for 'professional' sports. Way too many over payed, whiny, cry babies for my taste. Most players could give a sh*t less about the fans that pay to see them perform. So for the most part I have NO use for 'pro' sports.
Although, since my Mom is a die-hard Cubs fan, I'll watch a game on TV with her once in a while. And I also take her to Chicago a couple times a year so she can see them play "live" at Wrigley Field. I took her a week and a half ago to see them tromp the Astros, and I'm taking her next month to to see them play the Cardinals. It all makes for an enjoyable day.....some hot dogs, peanuts, Cracker Jacks, and some sodas.....sunshine....oh, and 42,000+ screaming fans!!!
For myself, I prefer a relaxing Sunday afternoon in front of the tube watching 43 cars chasing each other in a circle around a racetrack at 200mph!
I really like to go watch local high school sports, especially basketball and volleyball, and some of the community sponsored youth sports like softball and occasionally baseball. Those kids give it their all, and they really appreciate the fans cheering them on!
