You got to pay to watch. The Tour de France and other races are on Peacock. I pay $5.99 a month to watch just that.

High end soccer, especially from Europe, is on Paramount. Another $5.99 to watch.

When it’s on, I watch. The rest of the time I don’t bother watching either.

Targeted watching, from time to time.

Many sports, except for the “usual” for the “traditional” are not readily available. I have only assimilated that much. I don’t even like that sports culture. NASCAR is the pits.

Tennis is different, but not pulling me any more.

Not too hard. This is the “media”.

There are no more rivalries and drama like in the past. I used to watch too, but those days are gone, I believe.

Personally, I only watch soccer and cycling. I am not the couch potato type to watch football, basketball, and get fat. I like basketball but not enough to follow it. I watch the super ball only if it turns into a competitive game, and that’s it. I watched more basketball when Michael Jordan played. Lost interest after that, and it’s been a long time. The USA got beaten at the world championships yesterday by champion Germany. The end of an era for the “dream team”. They’re catching up.

Football? The rest of the world don’t care. Nor about NASCAR.

Messi brought Miami to its knees. All of South Florida, in fact.

WHAT ELSE?
