I was talking to a friend of mine and he said that strictly in terms of sport, today's sports namely football and basketball are not as entertaining for him because players on opposing teams are too eager to be friends on the court as well as off, whereas in his day(he went back further than me to the 1980s) it seemed like "we can be frienimies in the offseason, but when we get on that court or that field, I'm tearing your (expletive) head off!" And then there were teams who's players genuinely hated each other as much as their fans did (bulls vs pistons for example) honestly I agree with him, in that it is more fun when the players on the teams don't like each other, and can't stomach the thought of losing to "those jerks."
