Yes, but they are only a couple of items on this list that I compiled which in turn explains my relative scarcity these days:
What is wrong with professional sports today?
------------------------------------------------------------
• "Win a championship — anything else is failure"
• Head coach / manager carousel
• Obscenely large salaries and profits
• Rising costs of attending and viewing games
• "Balkanization" of sports viewing opportunities
• Lack of player loyalty to team / school / city
• Sports gambling possibly tainting results
• Ubiquitous, relentless, juvenile commercials
• Cheating / performance enhancement drugs
• Too much analysis and statistics
• Obnoxious, vulgar fans
• Frequent player injuries
The microbetting pitching scandal was the last straw.
