    Did anyone from here actually watch any "pro" e-Sports i-sports or virtual sports or what ever you want to call it.
    https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/story/_/id/28968375/timmy-hill-earns-rare-nascar-win-live-simulated-iracing-event

    Can the IFPA set up some sort of all star (top ten ranked) tourney with some virtual pinball platform
    or even pick a game everyone has at home or available in their collection and stream it.
    Yeah every game plays differently and could easily be manipulated by settings or tweaks to gain advantage,
    but be on a honor system to level all games and settings the same.
    Playing just for the fun and no money and entertainment value only?
    Probably only have a viewership of a couple hundred, if that, but hey worth a try.

    i'm loving it right now. Fanduel has been doing free pick 9 games for the NBA everyday and paying out big time (free money to winners). I haven't had cable in 8 years as well, so i don't really watch sports anymore anyways.

    Missing baseball, watching games played in warm sunshine and palm trees helps to break up the winter here. Still getting to -12 celcius at nights and snow on the ground. Come on spring!

    heck
    Lethbridge is practically in Montana
    how can it still be that cold?
    Well I guess you are kinda close to what is left
    of Glacier National Park.

    Lol.

    I’m actually not missing sports at all. I did watch the MJ mini series (1 and 2) and will watch the rest, but that shouldn’t count. We’ll see if it persists. Long suspected “big time” sports were an ultimately unhealthy time suck, and encourage bad habits. But that might just be for me.

    I would agree. I'm not missing sports at all. When the pandemic is over I doubt I will start watching again. I've come to realize that my time is better spent elsewhere.

    No sports means my remote control has a chance of lasting through this year.

    While working at UNC- Chapel Hill I witnessed Womens Volleyball practice in the Gym, Womens Field Hockey trials and Womens Rowing at a local Lake. I would rather watch this than Pro Sports.
    Yes, I miss it.
