1. Players are showing off too much, especially in Football. Every time thy make a tackle you think they won the lottery. Just play the game.
2. Too many commercials and game stoppages. It used to take 2 hours to watch a football game now its 3+. Basketball is even more ridiculous with 6 minutes of commercials then they throw in the ball and a foul and more commercials.
3. Insane amount of money players are getting. Players are insulted with a measly 100 million dollar contract. Journeymen are getting 15 million.
4. Hockey is roller derby on skates. Fighting and beating up players. I had an occasion to attend the Winter Olympics and there was just hockey with no fighting, no grabbing just great hockey and fun to watch.
After a lifetime of being an avid sports fan I no longer watch or care except Soccer which my new family loves and there are no commercial stoppages. Yayyy

OP if you dont care about sports anymore, then walk away completely. stop whining about what the players get paid, what the owners of the teams make, ticket prices, etc.
for instance, i dont like hockey, so i dont go on the hockey forums and complain about the sport, i let the hockey fanatics do that.
by the same token, i like nascar and pro football, so i visit those forums. and yes i do have complaints about both sports, and i voice them from time to time, but that isnt going stop me from watching these sports, or any other sport i like.

A lot of us record the events and then FF through the commercials.
Maybe you aren't watching the best sports for you to enjoy. I normally watch a lot of football and basketball but this past spring and early summer have been VERY entertained by the college softball and baseball tournaments (in addition, of course, to the NBA championships). So much better than the bulk of tv shows.
I like watching sports like football, soccer in particular European football. I occasionally watch F1 racing. I prefer sports that are international as oppose to sports like basketball or American Football.
I don't care about sports in that I will never buy merchandise or support the sports. I don't like the idea that some else is make money off me over something that isn't ultimately that important and won't directly affect me. However, I would have no problem selling merchandise or to profit from a sport in someway.
I thought roller derby was roller derby on skates.
