@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
Pats are Trump's team
Being at events is actually socializing and being around the live energy of the event.
Pats are the huwhitest team.
If watching football makes you happy and gives you a way to insert yourself into mainstream culture without being counterproductive, go for it, I guess
Lol pats fans still salty
Yeah, I'm from Philly so I was happy we won, but then moved to NEW England and now want the pats to win.
i haven't watched basketball-American sports in yearts btw.
I would probably judge someone for being overly invested in it, but that kinda goes for all hobbies
Oh man you moved to England oof
@Jacob I'm not trying to infiltrate mainstream culture I'm enjoying my life lmao
ROIT INTHE WHAMBOUT GUNNY BIN MACHESTER INNIT ATAGO
Well, by "insert" I don't mean "infiltrate", I just mean be a part of it
That implies that we are different though
we're normal people
And I think it's okay to be
That's a great British accent over text, ophiuchus.
"It's OK to be normal"
Of course, it's preferable to be normal
But I think we can admit that we're kinda different. Not saying we should wear it as a badge of honor, but it's the reality we're in.
Sportsball is incredibly boring in my opinion but there's no accounting for taste.
