This is the the way I approach all of my sports viewing today. I consider myself to be living the Sports Elitist Lifestyle. That means when I do watch sports, I only concern myself with what's going on at the major league levels of all sports. So welcome to the club Nathional Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Hockey League (NHL). Sorry NCAA and all other developmental leagues across America.
As a kid I have many memories of attending my fair share of minor league sporting events. While they were each fun in their own way, I always felt I could never get fully invested into learning about the future athletes whose ultimate dream is to make it on the big stage. That maybe due to the fact that in the minor leagues of sports, winning is secondary to making a name for yourself and getting noticed. The enjoyment of minor league sports seems better suited for someone who has the time and patience for evaluating the pros and cons of the future talent the bigger leagues have to offer. The future Mike Trouts will have to make the big show for me to take notice of their talents. Until then, they are only prospects with potential to be great.
Another area of my life where my only interest is in seeing the best aspect of a certain sport is my lifelong goal of seeing all 30 Major League ballparks in baseball. I have very little interest in seeing every single minor league ballpark throughout the United States.
Yes I'm a sports snob and I'm proud of it!
