Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 3130454, member: 474"] why are we watching sports 1) we like the sport 2) we like the player 3) we like the team 4) we want a certain outcome very few players i care to watch anymore.. although Alonso after waiting for him to arrive is fun to watch and root for. the sports have gotten so bad because the players just dont know fundamentals anymore and its more about size and strength than it is skill its just hard to watch still root for my team but again its been a long time in most sports since my teams won anything but betting provides short term interest in almost any game. its like betting a beer on a round of golf, just dont bet a ton ti dig a big hole and in any case after hitting some big winners I can lose every bet for the next 30 yrs and still be ahead and thats why my wife doesnt care and actually tolerates it now, sometimes even acts interested in the outcomes.
