I did very occasionally, notably for Formula 1 and Wimbledon Finals.

Back before college basketball became big for cable TV, I would skip meetings for certain big rivalry games. If I couldn't make the game itself, I would sneak out to the parking lot and listen to the game on the car radio.
I skipped meetings for NASCAR races in the area.
I missed the Thanksgiving Thursday meeting from time to time because the Cowboys played on Thanksgiving and if they played the late game, it always ran long...which meant I had to stay home and see the end. Then I wasn't ready for the meeting, so I just stayed home.

My book study group canceled meeting because a famous pop-singer came in our town, and everybody had a ticket.
And during the football match between Croatia and Turkey 2008 we had a small radio in the KH toilet, so we went to piss on the regular basis.

I remember waiting for a football game to come on the TV. It was Scotland versus somebody. An important game. Hyped up in the media etc. I had a steak to eat & cold beers in the fridge. I had been to my 'group study' which was in the afternoon. This left my evening completely mine.
This asshole elder phoned me to ask me to take his group because he was 'ill'. Although I was absolutely raging, I put my suit on & went to the group to cover for this shithouse. To this day I really wish I had told him to......well, you know.
At the point I left the org, the team I support was enjoying a remarkable season. Thankfully, a by-product of my leaving was that I was able to enjoy many of the games & celebrations associated with our clubs achievement which don't come along all that often tbh. Had I been a JW, I would have missed the lot as I had done 8 years previously.

I am sorry....
I understand every single word you said, but I don't understand the sense of that.
Okay, I am an avatar junkie.
But, I finally find the adequately one. I shall not change it anymore.
