9. Sports is big business for the streaming channels.

They need to have live content, or they just get subscribers like me, who switch service each month.

Last month, HBO Max. This month, it's Paramount. Next month, it'll be Disney. They hate people like me.

I won't even watch sports movies.

Are they not all the same in their plots? Underdog team faces challenges. They bond with the coach. Eventually, through hard work and perseverance, they win.

I think sports has great value in society. Just not for me.
