I followed the Sacramento Kinds a few years ago, back when they were the Cinderella story. I really got into it. I watched all the games on TV, went to games, listened to games on the radio if they weren't on TV. The team was exciting and it was fun to be part of something. The whole community was really getting into it.
But after a few years of really following the team, I began to see how some of the players were grossly overpaid, self centered assholes. Then the team recruited some more guys that weren't really likable human beings. I just couldn't bring myself to cheer for a person who hits is wife, or starves his dogs, or is simply generally unpleasant.
And it just galled me that nobody else seemed to care about this stuff. The fans, the sportscasters, the owners, the coaches; they were always kissing ass. So I lost interest.
I only watch sports if I am around other people who are into it. I enjoy their company. Otherwise, I've got other things to do.
