Im giving up something I love. Well...Im not sure its love. Its more like an addiction.... I dont want to get into a huge debate over this but Im about ready to walk away from being a professional sports fan. There are a lot of reasons, a lot of them certainly have to do with what has transpired recently. You can certainly agree or disagree with me, however its a personal choice. And a hard one. I LOVE LOVE LOVE football...so this feels like a break up. A lot of my decision also has to do with how sports makes me feel. Anxious and stressed out over what? A game?? Plus its so time consuming. I went to the mall yesterday to shop with my daughter and I swear to you every minute I was checking my ESPN app for scores. I get too emotionally involved with sports and that is a waste of my energy. My daughter, Olivia, said, Mom...its just a game. You cant let a game ruin your day, right? Right. RIGHT! Shes so wise for a 9 year old. Anyway, what is the THING you have finally decided to give up? You like it...but its not healthy. Its hollow. You need to walk away from it. The time has come and youre giving it up. Goodbye professional sports. Im going to go watch my kid swim instead. When Spring rolls around Ill watch her run track and field. If you have time, read this Slate article from 2010 about why writer John Swansburg walked away from professional sports. Its pretty spot on.
