I never watched a lot, but I generally paid attention to how "my teams" were doing and if they made the playoffs or the bowl games, I would generally watch. Probably one of very few people that watched the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoffs while in the Bahamas. I don't believe ice hockey is very big there.
However, three specific things have turned me off completely along with all the other BS.
I'm from PA, went to Penn State undergrad, and George Tech in Atlanta for grad school.
When Michael Vick got hired by Philadelphia after his dog torturing days. That bothered me even though I'm a philly hater.
When Ray Lewis basically got away with helping cover up a couple murders committed by his running buddies in Atlanta after the Super Bowl, that really bothered me. I was living in Atlanta at the time.
The last straw was Penn State's coverup of for their former coach and child rapist Jerry Sandusky. The entire organization was corrupt and turned a blind eye to this. And then some of the dumbass students protest the firing of Paterno. The man should have been in jail with Sandusky.
Pete Rose got kicked out of baseball for gambling as he should. Now, what can't you do?
BTW, I went to USC earlier this summer. The University of South Carolina is a nice campus, but damn is it hot at the end of June.
