I'm a season ticketholder for the NFL and the NHL. I've attended most of the NASCAR tracks, occassionally will attend an MLB or WNBA game.

I have ZERO interest in the NBA or any form of soccer.

baseball, basketball, football, golf, hockey? they all take 1 ball.

Racing takes 2.

I like college football and basketball, but I really don't get very interested until March madness rolls around.

Basketball is a total waste of resources. If the game is never played again........I would not miss it at all.

I also fall into this category. Import Nascar and the 1000 ft. "quarter mile" have killed my last remaining motor sports interest.

I remember something similar, “If it can’t kill you, it’s not a sport!”

When some players injected politics into their respective sports I quit watching them. If I am home and have nothing else to do I will watch college football, Nascar, Drag racing and yes Golf! Except when Tiger Woods is winning or Kyle Bush is winning or if any team other than Georgia is winning! Go Dawgs!

I'm surprised at how many of you care about the NBA. I, on the other hand, **couldn't** care less about the NBA.



I'll be bummed if the NFL gets curtailed though.

Dont care much about pro sports.Agree with NASCAR bs. Drag racing I like the stock,superstock,modified racing the pros dont care much. Dont watch much maybe occasionally Steeler game. All the kneeling,crying,fights,money being thrown around could care. Watch NCAA swimming and diving,some college football games.

I could give a damn if they shut every stick and ball sport down from now, until I die. I have zero interest in any of them. I'd rather mow the grass, than to watch stick and ball sports.

More dirt track coverage is what I'd like to see, especially winged sprint cars. NASCAR is fine, but not my favorite form of racing. I really also like pulling sports, tractor and truck pulls. Sometimes I like to watch off road racing, like trucks on a dirt course. I'll watch drag racing sometimes, but the cars need to be fast, not watching 13 second street cars race.

Being almost June, and not having been to a dirt track yet is killing me. The middle of June is Ohio Sprint Car Speed Week time, (8 consecutive nights of racing, at 8 different tracks) and still no word if there is going to be races this year. Since it's only 3 weeks away, I'm thinking it's not going to be given a green light.

I looked at Norwalk's site last night, and no word on the Pontiac Nationals either for this year. It's still on the schedule, but no clue if it's going to be on or not. Almost every other facet has opened up in the state, and every store is open, no sports venues whatsoever.

In Ohio football is a huge, huge deal, the governor is a football enthusiast, so I expect the governor to open sporting events just before football season starts.

Supposedly there was a dirt track in Ohio that ran a sprint car/late model stock car, invitational race on last Thursday, with no spectators, but I can't find any information on if it happened, or not. Paying $5000 to win, roughly 12- $13,000 purse is pretty difficult without fans in the stands at a local dirt track.

Could care less about the NBA. I may watch occasionally when the finals come around but rarely during the season. That being said, my wifes boss had court side tickets, she hooked us up a few times and watching live from that close is a lot of fun. I def. would not miss if it never came back. NFL is my thing, I have my fav. team but will watch everygame that I can get my eyes on to an obsession. Always worked Saturdays so never really got into college ball but my wife is big into those games. Final four college BBall is fun, but i dont follow other than that. I dont have the patients to watch cars go around a circle for 5 hours straight, dont watch very much racing. About the same for drag racing, but I do enjoy going to the track and watching that live.
