I'm okay with pro sports when I can filter out the bulk of the 'pro'. No wait, does pro stand for professional, or for promotional?
For a friend's bachelor party/ pre-marriage whatever-a-thon we went to a CFL game. I'm not much of a handegg fan (CFL or NFL), but just to watch the game, it was kind of interesting. He's a really good friend, and he's really into the sport itself (and not so much the mountains of shit tacked onto it to move merchandise). Even so, I bet they had a corporate logo on every strand of artificial turf on the field, and it gets hard to stomach what is essentially more advertising than sport.
When you get rid of the branding, the scandals, the politics of trading players and paying them gajillions of dollars to get pumped full o' drugs and consistently lose anyway, the obsessive fanatics that won't stfu about last night's game when they know full well I don't really care, the gimped sense regional pride, the uh... wait, I don't remember what I was going for.
