I’ve been distant from pro sports in general lately. Everything is overpriced, the product is becoming generic across the board, the players and owners make way too much money, and everything is a walking talking advertisement. It’s become corporate crap.
I don’t think this is an NHL issue, honestly. These leagues are not true leagues, they’re entertainment businesses. They’re not in the business of providing a fair and consistent product, they’re in the business of promoting and showcasing their talent to make as much money as possible from them.
I’m also just getting to the age where I’ve accepted that I can’t control the outcome of sports so there’s no use in getting overly upset about it. It sucks that pretty much every team I cheer for rarely has success but what can you do?
I just enjoy the wins now and don’t get too wrapped up in the losses. It’s not worth it.
