2008- Sports Free Zone??

What would it take for you to give up sports for one year?

I’ve been thinking about this question for the past 2 days. READ ABOUT IT HERE. After wrestling with the idea and seeing if I could get buy in from my wife (who is a major sports fan herself), I decided I couldn’t do it. Will someone else pick up the challenge and see how it changes your outlook on life?
Here are some basic ground rules I established while pondering this act of abstention:

· Any active following of sporting events would be strictly prohibited.
· No engaging in conversations about sporting events or any new regarding sports.
* I was not required to excuse myself from conversations regarding sports, if this would be deemed social offensive
· If sports were on inside a restaurant or home while I was present, all efforts should be made to engage in some other activity instead of viewing.

In the end, I decided that my price would be someone willing to pay me to write a book about the experience (that might sway my wife into participating).
