Athletes probably are overpaid, but real sports are important and even if you're a nerd, it's good to be into at least one sports team so you have something to talk about and can relate to everyone else. I find that the people who just completely shut themselves off to real sports, are very difficult to find any sort of common ground with, and aren't interesting people. Real sports are a universal social activity. It's hard to connect with someone who only wants to talk about their anime figure collection, or the latest job class they are leveling up in Final Fantasy XIV.

the trick to sports is to just know team names / cities then you dont have to actually know poo poo or watch them. just agree with whatever the dumb person is talking about HEY DID YA SEE INGLE LAST WEEK and youre like yeah that was cray cray. Then you blow em, he gives you the 8 dollars, and you go on your way

which is why i'm using my millions to launch a chain of nerdbars.

the only music that plays is jpop and retro pixel tunes.

the flatscreen tvs show lets plays and twitch streams.

no lovely lamestream beers, only the craftiest craft brews and spirits mixed with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA3cMGUy28w (Final Fantasy Potions).

i mean, if I had a modicum of interest in playing games at a professional level then maybe it'd be like "cool" or decent

i stopped playing games to be "pwnage" after middle school, i just play for maybe like 3 hours a week at the most to unwind

Sure, but they're probably just poser bars started by quasi-gamers looking to make a quick buck by targeting a lucrative niche in a 'boring, sensible, planned' fashion.

my bars will be so much more.

No, i'm saying it's a real good universal conversation piece that allows you to get to know people. It's not the only one, but it's one of the safest bets out there.

Let's say you go up to a coworker at the water cooler, and start talking about the episode of Attack on Titan you watched the other night, how do you think that is going to go down?

I have poo poo knees but that doesnt prevent me from enjoying watching Rose Curry ball, watch some sf4 or something maybe, those tournaments are good to unwind watching

Also atheletes arent overpaid unless maybe you wanna argue A-Rod or some other dude in a guaranteed MLB contract that isnt paying off for the team, every other sport is salary capped and the best talent is by definition making a fraction of what an uncapped market would bear to say nothing of what value they actually bring to a club
