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.

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.

girls amirite ^

I agree but Seeing ourselves as this greater metapolitical body that must become the dominant culture or direct the masses seems a bit off to me.

Maybe instead of "insert" I should have said "be a part of". You should be a part of mainstream culture.

We are the norm and we shouldn't separate ourselves imo

Being so head first into politics and letting it be the deciding factor (Im not saying you dislike these things because of your politics either) can be unhealthy

I did it for a while

Is tonight pledge orientation?
