Interesting Would you be willing...

[RandygoCuse]

Reading - you can watch all the sports you want, just not the postseason? Sure easy small thing to give up for my family to get 30 million.

Keep in mind, you’ll also never know the results of what happened in the postseason

Saw a video yesterday and they asked would you give up watching all post-season sports for 30 million dollars. I said yes pretty quickly. However, they added a caveat that you could never know what happened in the post season either and I admit the question became more difficult. What are your thoughts people?

I would take that money. If I were younger, it would be a more difficult question. Maybe I’d still have the confidence that I’d make that amount on my own…. But at this point, I’d like to live well for 10-15 years, and I’d be content with all the regular season games as being enough. Plus, that wouldn’t include Formula 1 or tennis or Olympics….

Make it interesting and a million

 

[sufandu]

I'd take the cash. I seem to care less and less about sports as I get older. I could do a lot with 30 mil.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Not only would I take it, I’d be able to comfortably assume SU won the natty in 2010 and 2012.

EPL/Champions League has no postseason either...

 

[BigNastyJon]

Every Adult Superstore in Central New York would be on cloud nine after finding out there is $30 million in BigNastyJohn's pocket.

You’re telling me!! Maybe I’d finally get unbanned from Adult World!!

 

[Charbroil]

I’d take the money and run, no question. I would probably change the way I watch/root for sports and just treat regular season championships (IE Cuse winning an ACC regular season championship) as a true champion. And I’d probably just end up getting more into sports that don’t have a postseason. For instance, EPL, golf, etc. Plus there are a couple sports where the regular season is better than the postseason (ie college football).

Now if it was “never watch any sports ever again or take $30 million” I would need to think long and hard about it.

 

[Dcuse]

Yes. Who cares about sports when you have 30m?

I do.

 

[HakAttack]

Where do I sign up?

 

[M2MPrinciples]

I would do it for $10M, but my favorite teams have all won Natties in my conscious memory.

I'd like to see SU football get one, but I don't think it's happening, and if so, I'm not crazy enough about the team to deeply regret missing it - You can put that on me not really having followed SU football growing up and then attending during the GRob years.

I would rather watch sports playoffs with my middle-class friends and loved ones and chicken wing dip than sit around on a yacht somewhere drinking champagne.

Why wouldn't you invite your middle-class friends to hang out on the yacht?

 

[JustPherU]

I’m down with cause, where do we collect?

 

[Eric15]

Why wouldn't you invite your middle-class friends to hang out on the yacht?

I mean I’m sure they would love that most times of the year. But I feel like most would respectfully decline if it was Super Bowl Sunday or Syracuse playing in the NCAA tournament and they werent allowed to watch.

 

[bnoro]

The amount of concerts I could attend with 30m would make up for the loss of sports. Plus there's never a loser at a show. Just euphoria the whole time.

No need for a postseason run when you can just follow Phish around for a month.

Maybe they are all sports fans as well.

You could attend 2, maybe 3 Taylor Swift shows.

 

[Surfan06001]

Eh, probably not. We don't have anywhere in the stratosphere of $30 million, but we have enough to live comfortably. The flow of the annual sports calendar is so embedded in my life, that suddenly not having it would be too much of a shock to my system. I would rather watch sports playoffs with my middle-class friends and loved ones and chicken wing dip than sit around on a yacht somewhere drinking champagne.

If Syracuse was playing for a national title in football or basketball, which I've invested a lifetime of emotional energy towards, literally my entire social network would be watching that game. What am I going to do, fly to the Seychelles and die of FOMO while this is going on?

Pass the Dom perignon

 

[Surfan06001]

The amount of blow I could do with 30m would make up for the loss of sports.

 

[M2MPrinciples]

Can I use the money to pay friends to reenact the games I miss?

 

[JKinUtah]

my teams always suck in the post season anyways...gimme that 30 mil

 

[ar inj]

After taxes, right?

I would take the money and run

 

[bnoro]

Yeah I guess it's an easier choice when you've seen all your teams win at least one title in your lifetime

 

[bnoro]

You could attend 2, maybe 3 Taylor Swift shows.

Can't imagine spending a single cent on a talentless marketing machine

 

[Yeti]

I'll never watch a sporting event again for 10 mil.
