Twelve Reasons I Quit Attending Sports Events


What if we started treating sports like we treat our involvement with the Church? There probably wouldn't be many fans left. Our complaints might sound like this:

1. The coach never came to visit me.
2. Every time I went, they asked me for money.

3. The people sitting in my row didn't seem very friendly.

4. The seats were very hard.

5. The referees made a decision I didn't agree with.

6. I was sitting with hypocrites—they only came to see what others were wearing!

7. Some games went into overtime, and I was late getting home.

8. The band played some songs I had never heard before.

9. The games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.

10. My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.

11. Since I read a book on sports, I feel that I know more than the coaches, anyway.

12. I don’t want to take my children because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best.
