Good, thanks.
I managed to think about it and I know better now, why am I so hugely dissapointed. I invested a lot in this BASKETBALL season on a personal level. It was my main hobby, spend a lot of time thinking about it, spend some 80 nights watching Dallas play (being from Europe) and spend money on different subscriptions. Now all of these feels waisted, because players decided to use basketball platform to promote political issues. I am so dissapointed and I feel cheated. I will be certainly much less engaged next season. As I am a person that really commits to everything I am doing, it might result that I basically unfollow basketball totally and find a different hobby. You know, how do I know that players won't choose the basketball platform to promote world peace next season.
Agree on the time investement when you are trying to watch from europe. I have the same problem. It feels great to be back in Germany but watching the Mavs is pricy (league pass) and time consuming (tip off is usually after midnight).
I understand that a cancelled season would be disappointing but some things are bigger than sport events. People like to pretend that sport and politics can exist without any overlap or interference but that has never been the case. It might be possible to enter a bubble to hide from a virus. It is not possible to hide from social issues that affect the entire nation.
