I was reading about how certain massive sporting organizations are looking to pivot their business models lately, and it really got me thinking about the soul of the game. It feels like every year, the gap between the people who actually live and breathe a sport and the executives running the show gets wider. We used to watch things because of the passion and the tradition, but lately, it feels like every major tournament is being treated like a giant piece of real estate waiting to be carved up and sold to the highest bidder.

It’s a slippery slope. Once you start treating the actual essence of a competition as just another commodity or a stake to be traded, you lose that magic that makes us care in the first place. I remember watching matches as a kid where the stakes felt purely about pride and glory, not about maximizing quarterly dividends or satisfying some corporate board. Now, it feels like if you aren't part of the "inner circle" of wealth, you're being priced out of the experience entirely.

Is there a point where a sport becomes so commercialized that it ceases to be a sport and just becomes a glorified investment vehicle? Or is this just the inevitable evolution of global entertainment?

If he truly didn't finish inside, then pregnancy isn't an issue—but unfortunately, there's always that lingering question of whether that was actually the case.
You could resume the pill right away, though you really should use backup protection for about a week just to be safe.

Thanks for the reply! He pulled out two minutes before finishing, so I'm pretty sure nothing "escaped." 🤷

Should I just take one pill today, or should I catch up on the ones I missed?

Hey everyone. Sorry if this has already been covered—I’m dealing with an urgent situation and low-key panicking here. Feel free to delete or lock this thread once someone answers if I'm breaking any rules.

So here’s the deal—I’ve been on birth control for months (switched from Logest to Lindynette) and have been sexually active with my boyfriend. I always start a new pack on Sundays. Here’s what happened: I finished a pack, took my usual week-long break, and was supposed to start the next pack this Sunday. But, I broke up with him on Friday (two days before the new pack was due), so I didn't actually start the new box. Basically, I missed my pills on Sunday and Monday. Then, on Monday night, we made up and had unprotected sex. He didn't finish inside. So, yeah—I missed two pills and had unprotected sex where he didn't even ejaculate.

Is there a risk of pregnancy, and if so, how high is it? Should I take Plan B? Since we're back together, I plan on starting the pill again—should I just start today? Please don't lecture me on being irresponsible, blah blah blah. I get it. I just need advice and a reality check on the chances of me being pregnant.

Thanks in advance.
