I don't care for soccer or hockey.  Starting to not care for baseball.

It's probably mostly what you grew up watching.  My dad was always really into Chicago teams.

The NBA is the one sport I don't care about anymore.  Nothing could match or top the Jordan years and living in Chicago-land.  I didn't watch baseball hardly at all until recently after the cubs won the World Series in 2016, too.  It was like a weight being lifted.  I remember my German great grandpa listening to games on his headphones and calling them a bunch of bums.  He still listened to them.

My sister was talking about his German singing club.  We used to go to the "German picnic" every summer where all the men would sing and we'd cook out.  I guess they went to Germany on trips and sang.

The cubs winning it all was like a generations of disappointment lifted.  Then of course, nothing lasts for ever, and you have to rebuild the team as guys leave or get old.  So, I hadn't been following or watching much baseball since they won it all.  At least they won one.  Anymore in my lifetime will be gravy.
The days go by slow, but the years go by fast.
