The NBA and NFL is in danger of being cut out later this year. Believe it or not. These two leagues keep our country sane during hard economic times.

Expect crime all over the country to go up.

Meh America if overly obsessed with this crap, sports that is. They are worse (in terms of their nerdom) then your average Dungeons and Dragons player and are blissfully unaware of it.

I think it's a good thing. Maybe more people will get off their duffs and actually DO some physical activities instead of sitting in front of the TV watching these overpaid, egotistical athletes.

It probably will hurt the sports bar business. They'll just have to get more creative in promoting their businesses.

I don't watch sports. I play sports, but never watch them. It wouldn't matter to me at all.

Nah just someone that has always openly embraced anything that interests me, stigmas be damned. I played sports all through school, played DnD with the nerds, played sports with the jocks, wasted endless time in video games with dorks, and did your standard young'n shenanigans with the resident skaters and loosers. I crossed a lot social boundaries when I was young.

If you can't see the parallel between the obsessions and just because one is widely accepted what is 'normal' and the other sits on the 'fringes' I'll restate - blissfully unaware
