Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

What was your breaking point?

For me:

NFL: The blonde singer nonsense

CFB: Replacing an undefeated FSU team with a one loss SEC team in the playoff

So much leading up to it though, and now we play games at 9 a.m. in Aims Iowa and Bloomington Indiana!

    CFB: season tickets got moved after the renovation and cancelled, and now parking situation sucks ass for an east sider without season tickets. And… no one to get drunk with before the game anymore. Ok, I’m still watching religiously, but I am not attending games anymore.

    NFL: It’s fine. After watching the Pats win 6 and Brady 7, the excitement is gone, but it’s still football.

    CBK: UW sucks and the Pac-12 network sucks. Once I got rid of Dish and went to YouTube TV I no longer got UW games. I’m BACK this year after a long hiatus. All this said, our uniforms look like Coors Light cans.

    MLB: I was at the game where we were eliminated in 2001. Eventually with talent leaving and the Mariners making awful decision after awful decision I just lost interest in following the team and became a casual.

    MLS: I tried to get into it but it was more of a gay pride homo parade than a sport. I’m OUT.

    NHL: I’m BACK. Go Kraken. Our fans are a bunch of homos though. Half of them need to stick to watching the Sounders. This is hockey, NOT tummy sticks.

    NASCAR Trucks: UW football made me a fan and I haven’t looked back! I love all them big wrecks and cautions!

    NBA: The Sonics leaving and I don't find the players now very interesting and because of the college age changes and international players I don't know who they are.

    NFL: I'm still in but mostly because it's nice to watch football casually and not have psychotic rooting interests. The Chiefs are boring though.

    CBK: UW falling apart but I've long said CBK fucked themselves up with the portal first. March Madness is still impossible to ignore though.

    CFB: I'm still here obviously but a lot of shit has come together to reduce it. All the players leaving when DB left was a blow. The slow death of regionalism in the sport has sucked to me too because taking that out you're just watching shitty minor league football ..

    NBA: Jailblazers, then doing jack shit with Dame ended it for good with me. fuck them and fuck Jody Allen.

    NFL: don't really give a shit. I just follow our? players. all the new roughness penalties are fucking stupid though and make zero sense.

    NHL: fucking love it, but I live in Vegas so I'm a Golden Knights fan. And they won a natty.

    CBB: I get tired of half our? team being injured before the season even starts and we don't even see the whole team until halfway through conference play. Altman must be beating them or something.

    CFB: still my favorite sport on the planet, but it's going to be minor leagues soon enough (if it isn't already) and NIL will get further out of control.

    with soccer I hate watch the Timbers because they've sucked ever since they won a natty, but MLS is minor league so I watch the big boys in Europe for fun.

    I was in football mode, because it was the last sport I was passionate about. It started getting soft and corporate around 2010, but I think the success of the Wokehawks and Huskies in the 2010s kept me aboard and to the point I'd yell and punch the couch during bad plays. Now if the Pridehawks lose three in a row, it's like…"Oh well…I'm sure Ashley on KJR will give great analysis on KJR Monday morning about it"

    CBB: It was gradual, but the 18 and 19 year olds going to the NBA hurt it big time, and that was 20-25 years ago

    NBA: Also got bad around 2000

    Still watchable during at times, but too many three point jackers, and too much political activism, no post play, and soft players

    I went basically two years without watching any, then watched parts of the playoffs, but not real impressive

    Now superstars get the Lakers to draft their unqualified sons, absolutely pathetic

    beisbol: was always boring, but the 90s Mariners of Gwiffey, Edgar, RJ, and Buhner were fun
