In particular, the way these coaches are shilling for football is way too similar to "open it up" for my tastes. Are we all supposed to ignore that Scott Frost's millions of dollars in compensation may have something to do with his views? Are we supposed to have sympathy for the ridiculously scaled house of financial cards that may fall?

It kind of grosses me out, and its highly unlikely i watch any pro or college sports in America until our situation isnt quite so epically fucked. European soccer is going to have to carry me through the year, which is fine. Those places got their shit in order months ago, and the 5 major Euro leagues *combined* had fewer issues than MLB has had in just a few weeks.

Its a real bummer, especially as related to college football. Perfect mirror to our fucked up society. A money making pyramid scheme, with the affluent top level pressing hard for the poorly compensated labor force to get back to making profits for them.

I have Youtube TV, so im automatically a "Nielsen house", and the thought of contributing to the metrics is gross enough that i probably wont watch a single minute of this year's NBA and Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in my life. This isnt a moral highground post, or anything like that. Days like this I couldnt ever begrudge how someone finds a little joy. Im more just angry that our society has sapped MY ability to draw joy from something thats meant so much to me for decades.

Is anyone else feeling like this?
