@Jacob it was always cool

@Alexander Pechorin very much agreed- that place was absolutely pristine.

Football is chad

nah there was massive opposition to football in the past

at least watching it

@Jacob yeah those were nerds

Whitaker literally played for Iowa state

@Jacob we've improved our optics since then

Truthfully, the subways in China even are cleaner than the ones in New York

huh interesting, so football is cool now

FoOtBaLl iSn'T HeGeLiAn

The New York subway is disgusting

@ophiuchus true. Though it gets pretty seedy in China too. Even in Hong Kong.

@ophiuchus NY subway is awful

I mean, I'm a neutral observer. I was never interested in football. Not out of principal, I genuinely never found it interesting.

SF Subway is even worse

@ophiuchus yes it is, but it runs 24/7, in theory at least

I think it's one of the cooler sports because it involves a lot of strategy

@Kingfish this

I love riding the yellow line sitting next to a puddle of stagnant pee to be hauled away by rats at the canal street stop

And concussions

Football is boring imo.

Hockey is the only white team mainstream team sport

(I played football......)

@Alexander Pechorin China’s super weird. It’s incredibly seedy but I never once felt in danger there. I felt safer walking through Shanghai than I do walking through New York

I understand the argument against football in the way it currently exists. That people use an arbitrary team as a replacement for a real identity. But I mean, I'm not an expert on it. I'm pretty neutral to it since I was just never into it.

One reason to like football: communists hate football

I only really got into it the past few years honestly. But I do think in such an atomized society, anything that brings these regions together for some sense of altruism is nice

I think it watching football easily becomes a waste of time and misdirects your sense of belonging to something fake. But I mean I'm not gonna judge people for watching it in moderation.

I think being a fan of your regional team creates a communtiy and fills a bit of the hole atomization creates

I guess

I don't think it would be an issue if the teams actually were rooted in the regions they claim to be from

@Kingfish unless ur a Patriots fan

Pats gay

No u

Being at sports games is about 4 trillion times more enjoyable than watching them on tv

I live in New England, so it's kind of cool how people here love such a white team.

Pats are Trump's team

Being at events is actually socializing and being around the live energy of the event.
