I have no problem with people enjoying sports. What i have a problem with is people having a problem with me not enjoying sports.
Growing up i was always asked about sports and expected to care about them, enjoy watching them, and have something to say about them. My not caring was an unwelcome deviation from what people expected then, sometimes that necesitated an excuse for why it was okay and i always hated.
I hope its not like that for people growing up today, and we're all just letting people enjoy things. As a kid the things i enjoyed weren't okay and it wasn't okay that i didn't enjoy sports.
Big fucking mood
Yeah also it's annoying af when old dudes ask you your opinion about the big game and when you don't have an opinion they're like, oh so you're not athletic huh? Like motherfucker I see your beer gut, you're not fooling anyone
It is interesting how some connect passive viewing as "athletic". Similar to how watching sports is viewed as "masculine"
Yelling at the TV burns so many calories!
Is this actually a thing? I tried googling it but all the results said "Actually there is no research substantiating this"
Until and unless I can find further verification I'll step off of that hill as a gesture of good faith. Maybe I picked up an unsubstantiated rumor.
The term sportsball has outlived its usefulness.
I don't disagree with that. Personally I'm not interested in attacking anyone's enjoyment of sports.
You can see my comment to see what my issue is with sports. It has nothing to do with actual sport. But the way it was used culturally to shame and police children and their gender. I hope that's changed since i was a kid
