Apathy towards watching sports...

I have to admit to becoming really apathetic towards watching sports.  It's strange, but this feeling is existing in me. 

I don't know if I am hyperactive or what, but I just can't sit and watch sports like I used to be able to.  I used to watch EVERY METS game.  I wouldn't miss a game.  Now I've had enough after an inning. 

I rarely turn on television and hope to find a sporting event on.  Occasionally I do, but I have lost interest in just watching sports because it's on television. 

I can't figure out exactly why this is buy I have some ideas. 

Part of it is overload.  There are just too many sports and I don't feel like watching them all. 

Part of it is a feeling of, this is work, this is all I ever do, let's please watch something else. 

Another part of it is being afraid of turning into a 40 year old super-fan who still regularly wears a jersey to games.  Mature adults are too busy to spend their time obsessing over games. 

Another part is being healthy.  It's healthier to be outside and be active. 

Maybe the biggest thing is that I have realized that I can do great things when I am busy doing things.  I can watch other people do great things when I watch them do so.  Maybe I want to be a character instead of an observer. 

It's so strange to me, but I just don't watch any extra sports than I need to.  I have to admit to this.  The majority of what I watch is sports related, but I just don't turn on television and put on hockey or basketball or Sunday Night Baseball because I am bored. 

There is some apathy involved.  I don't think it's killing my drive to work in sports.  I do think it's making me think about how I can spend my precious time during life.  We shouldn't spend all of our lives watching others.  We need to live too.
