Tom Brady posted:Yes, it is Well, yeah, I was just making a statement of fact. Clearly we live in the end times of the American empire. To be fair, I will say that at least professional sports are better than NASCAR. I don't see the appeal of watching a bunch of yokels turning left repeatedly in much the same way that I cannot imagine what it is like inside the mind of a possum.

Blizzy_Cow posted:My wife brought up a good question a few days back. Why is baseball our national past time instead of foot ball? I figure its because stick ball was played first and easier for street urchins to play in the while their parenta either died from disease or worked all day and died in a factory. Because baseball is a white mans sport and america is ran by white people.

Darth123123 posted:What's your favorite sport? Irish gaelic football. A real man's sport. No protection, no pay, and no one gives a gently caress if you die on the field. In fact dying on the field is a bonus, as the corrupt as gently caress runners of it will abuse your name for fund raisers for the next century. Fund raising for a sport that doesn't pay its atheltes. More captialist than the US can handle.

CaptainSarcastic posted:The pointlessness of professional sports is remarkable, and particularly the selective blindness of fans of same. Every season builds excitement, concludes with a hyped-up spectacle, and then the next year it happens all over again. It has the same structure as a soap opera, running on a braindead treadmill of drama that fans mindlessly and devotedly devour, year after year after year.

The best part is when a player gets hurt and they have to stop the game. The TV broadcasts cut away to a commercial. They are literally getting paid because that player got hurt.

I regularly suffer and I watch my family suffer from many things, some of which; most of which money can fix or vigorously attempt to fix. Rich people can preemptively fix these things while they also enjoy all the creature comforts made possible by having many, many dollars in their bank. In the fall on Sundays I watch football, I payed extra for sports channels, NFL Network, etc. I like my team, and whenever someone on my team is hurt I hope that they will be ok, and that future technology may prevent such an injury in a similar, future scenario. gently caress all the rest. I'll watch their A Football Life story about how they had 8 perfect, healthy kids, a giant, flying houseboat, and an extremely attractive significant other, but it was all for naught because first they got headaches and then became walking muscle-bound invalids at 35. Oops another life wasted. I don't care about them. I want to watch football, they spend their whole lives in pursuit of fame and riches. I enjoy watching them trying to kill each other, and that's not going to change. Sorry guys, getting rid of football is about as likely as fixing the healthcare system or electoral/voting/redistricting/FPTP reform. The NFL generates mountains of money, our healthcare system cums billion dollar bills, and our voting system enables the rich to John Pop our legislature. The thing they have in common is money and money is god to most of my fellow Americans, even many poor ones who worship the rich because they are financially hundreds of thousands of times their ~30k per-year worth So I will shamelessly consume these hundreds of nationally televised 8-second-long-on-average orgies of violence every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Because I don't care about their health and I don't care about them... well, except for my team. GO PACK GO

if baseball represents ideal America, football represents its awful corporate reality. the NFL is a cartel of old rich white men (and one old rich Pakistani man) that care only about the immediate future, which means handing out ridiculous suspensions for minor crap (though I looked the other way when they did that to Brady, because gently caress him) and making sure that NFL coverage is closer to propaganda than actual news football is a chore to watch- there's a penalty every five plays, it's ridiculously overcommercialized (touchdown-commercial break-kickoff-commercial break happens all the time), and there is zero parity because you can count on at least eight playoff teams from last year to make it again watch the end of baseball season, watch hockey, watch basketball, watch soccer- hell, the Rugby World Cup is happening, watch that. don't watch the NFL edit: whoever bought all those Tom Brady bottom banners needs to choke to death on a million bowls of dicks

Best thing about NFL is that its taken nearly 100 years of banging heads together to get them to figure out that banging heads together causes head damage. Edit: 2nd best is that most players are oversized man babies with anger issues.
