    I enjoy the experience of watching a game live. If you’ve never been to live professional sporting event in the states, the stadiums/arenas work really hard to make sure you’re entertained between the action on the field/court/rink. It’s fun once or twice a year, but I would never pay those prices even for pro.

    I also like watching live sports on TV. That’s not all I like and I’m not a big SPORTS! guy, but I do enjoy watching my teams and I get excited for opening day in March and the first game of the regular season in September. I dont really follow college sports, and I gave up on the NBA a decade ago, and hockey doesn’t get enough OTA coverage for me to really follow it. My favorite is MLB. NFL is cool after all the Nationalism and Propaganda is over (I skip halftime shows too).

    I’ve done lots of drugs in my life. There’s a time and place for those (college). I’m an adult now, so I don’t fuck around with much other than some beers here and there. Drugs have a way of becoming not a special activity and just a habit that needs feeding, at least for me and many others I’ve known (some who refuse to admit it).

      The live sporting events that I’ve enjoyed most were when I volunteered to work at them, but they weren’t in stadiums(skiing, running, mountain biking). I don’t drink anymore, but getting stoned and watching nature documentaries has not gotten old, or taking some shrooms and going for a trail run is really fun.

        Glad you still enjoy those things. I won’t stop you or try to take it away from you.

        I really like minor league ball games – less expensive but still good ball games. And a real americana feel to me.
