Sports?

As a lifelong sports fanatic I have been asking myself the question lately that I feel others have been asking as well; could I give it up? It is a massive question that may not have an actual answer. I have been a Red Sox fan my whole life and I find it hard to give it up. My family tells me that I do not need to give it up entirely but just accept that it is just a game. I do not know if I could stop following the Sox every day of the season, but I want to. I am so sick of the negative stuff going on in professional sports now, I could scream. Steroids, arrests, beatings, lying. All of it is so messed up I don't understand how the sports have not ceased to exist. These guys are role models? Someone actually asked that question once? Please. I spend my time telling my son to do the opposite of what these so called "athletes" are doing. It seems to be working so far. Sports? I think we have better things to do with our time. Let's start doing some of them.
