My interest in professional sports has been waning. Among the reasons: The Thug-nature of teams, the excessive amount and time of commercials, the multiple replays of almost every play, the referee reviews, the "ground caused the fumble" (what caused the player to hit the ground?), the slow-motion analysis, and many more. The excitement of the game is lost. It has now become a scientific, hi-tech presentation of a game that should be played in real-time with real people. The hybrid techno-game has lost its appeal for me.
