I fucking hate this kind of people, I’m sorry, but I do. My country is full of them, this is literally the default here…
Save meeee, I wanna go to the Netherlands or some place 😭

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I hated sports as a penis-haver, but they did always put me to sleep. They were boring and then the adults would scream at the TV for something or another and wake me up from my snooze. Why do I want to watch a bunch of blurs run around a field be narrated by two old guys? or a bunch of cars going in circles narrated by two old guys?
I still don’t get it. Dad took me to a baseball game once and all I can remember is the drunk old lady yelling at the players from right behind me.
The only benefit I see is a more safe outlet for tribalism. Otherwise, you get maga.
Yeah, my dad trys so hard to get me into watching the blues play or go to a boring ass baseball game. Yes they’re fun for him but my god there’s nothing going on, hell in baseball for half the game they aren’t even playing.
I can understand thinking baseball is boring despite not agreeing, but there isn’t a sport more frenetic and exciting than hockey imo. Especially playoff hockey.
Hockey is exciting if you’re into the match and/or sport.
He hits the puck, now someone else hits the puck, wow the first guy just hit the puck again, the puck is now in a net, the crowd is screaming!
I’d rather read a book.
For me, it’s the potential for a fight, and the fact that the rules encourage it almost. Hockey checks can be quite something in person too. A check is where someone slams into someone. Bonus points of it’s against the encirclement.
You can reduce most hobbies down like that though.
Read a book? So you want me to read one of the six stories that exist told slightly differently?
books contain novel (heh) information each time you read another book. there are a nearly limitless supply.
team sports are playing by the same rules every time. there is nothing interesting there imho.
Games never play out the same way though. Some of the things that have happened in the middle of baseball games are crazy unique. Randy Johnson turned a bird into a cloud of feathers with a fastball, and the only time the Oakland A’s played the SF Giants in the World Series (Bay Area series) was when the catastrophic 89 quake hit the Bay Area.
Oh, and the rules change slightly every year!
that makes sense! unfortunately theres a lot of down time and no guarantee of something interesting happening, so it’s not my thing.
i like scripted narratives for my entertainment if that makes sense.
At least when I yell at my game it’s because I had something to do with the unfortunate situation. Unless you got serious money on the game, why are you yelling? Just an fyi I don’t get mad like when i was a teenager, broke a controller. Now i just say an expletive and calm down and keep playing. The only game that’s upset me recently is Monster Hunter Wilds, but I’m at the end game, so I’m dealing with 1-hit KOs or being knocked down by one attack and hit by an unavoidable follow-up.
I got off topic. I don’t get sports either. Hockey is mildly entertaining but for the most part if I’m going to watch sports it will be in anime form where I get to see the individual struggles.
