FactsAreUseless posted:No they aren't. Exactly this. They want to keep out the jocks but if a group of footballers or whatever came in they would do absolutely nothing but look at them strongly (as long as they weren't looking back, then they'd look away) because people like that (like me) despise confrontation at all costs. They put up the sign so nobody would come in in the first place. A real place would just let word of mouth get out that "we don't cater to your kind around here" without advertising it to the entire world. They do not want bouncers, they just want people to leave them alone because asking someone to leave is scary. Edit: adding picture since this is a new page

Tell me there's not such a thing as televised Quidditch. They're just replaying the scenes from the movies and cheering for Gryffindor aren't they?

The Merkinman posted:Nowhere does it says 'only'. I was thinking about that. Like, we all know that that bar doesn't actually have a problem with people coming in and asking for sports. Maybe one time somebody asked for the game to be put on, but frankly I doubt even that But if a sports bar had a big sign up saying NO BOARD GAMES, it would be immediately obvious that they had only put up that sign because a bunch of fuckin nerds kept coming in and shoving table together so they could play Settlers of Catan really loudly all night.

I know a ton of people that would go to such a bar, but all the places round here that would be that place are smart enough to call themselves gaming cafes or gaming pubs which means they don't have to pedantically explain poo poo to people with a note the front door.

Aleph Null posted:Exactly this. no, they just dont want people coming in, sitting down, asking the manager to put sports on the tv, and then leaving because the bar doesn't have a sports package and it wastes everyone's time. there's a huge expectation that bars with televisions will display sports because this is generally a good way to attract business, so this sign is a way to drive away business but it's nothing to with this aggrieved nerds scared of jocks thing you're cooking up

Aleph Null posted:I may be projecting based on my own experiences i did a little research and i found the place on google maps. it's in a lovely strip mall in suburban tampa, in an industrial stretch of town - bad for business if you're anything than a divey biker bar on google street view there's a different bar there every year, but with the same sort of lovely low effort signage. and one year there's a tax prep business in that spot which in other years is off to the side. like the location has the same owner but the bar in that location keeps changing. so my conjecture here is that the owner of the strip mall runs a real lovely bar in the anchor location to drum up business for adjacent businesses, aka keep them paying rent. and the bar itself keeps cycling through identities in search of a market to serve so the real reason they don't have a sports package? they can't afford it lmao

Bars in the US can't flourish with dozens of really bad-tasting local beers with quirky names and silly labels and no sports at all? What kind of capitalism is it

Do they show e-sports? My country has been killing it at Mobile Legends and I need to keep up to date with their games. Also our new Youth and Sports Minister is a gamer and he wants to build an e-sports stadium which is probably like a huge cybercafe.

How do you even do quidditch in real life if the entire point is for one person to grab the gold thing. Also what’s the gold thing for these dorks... a canary?

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:How do you even do quidditch in real life if the entire point is for one person to grab the gold thing. You could do a drone but I doubt they would go through the effort. Really the whole thing being popular as a "real" game is so weird when it was clearly just supposed to be a joke in the first book. You have a character explaining to Harry all the rules and positions and ways to score before giving the punchline of everything he just said is pointless because the game is actually won by one person finding the snitch.
