Every sports parent is like that comic where the nerd dad tries to aggressively force his hobbies on to a literal baby while shouting be me. I was also one of those kids put into little league without anyone bothering to tell me the rules. It was the first of many events where my parents got mad at me for not knowing how to do things they were taught by their parents.

Being a sports parent sucks too. One of my coworkers spends almost every night and every weekend in baseball season occupied with his kids baseball stuff. School team, club team, road games, blah blah blah.

When we were in Ireland my wife and I went to a hurling game. Admission was free and it was a huge packed stadium. None of the players are compensated, they just play for the glory of their town. That, to me, is the platonic ideal of sports. Also the gameplay is the most hardcore, borderline impossible thing I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmzivRetelE It's a little loud.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I had the same experience, and I think it's not uncommon. People don't even try to give you an getting-on point or explain the rules to you at all, they just tell you the most vague and obligatory instruction and spend the entire game ignoring you or getting mad at you for things you don't know and they can't be arsed to tell you. Apparently you're supposed to pick them up from osmosis. I didn't learn the rules of any sport we played in school until I looked them up on the internet years later. Lol. I thought this was just me but I think you're probably right. I don't think I'm physically incapable in general (or wasn't when I was younger, definitely) but I tried a few sports because I felt culturally obliged to? And I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing most of the time. So I just kind of tried to bluff my way through it, as a teenage boy will. As though there was something inherently wrong with me for not just knowing all of this stuff, and yes: I can't remember one good coach I had across baseball, wrestling, or football, it was always some middle-aged man who never explained anything, just made you run laps or yelled at you when you weren't doing whatever it was you were supposed to be doing. (Oh, now that I think about this I did have a pretty great fencing coach in college, which is probably it's own derail. Can't remember the guys name but he was cool as hell.)

Sports are fine, people can like and engage in whatever activities they like so long as it's not hurting others. Once you start debating the relative worth of one activity over another it gets bad, and once you go from "I enjoy tortoise polo" to "being a tortoise polo fan is my identity" you get bad. With both you get ideas like "eel chucking isn't a real sport, us tortoise jockeys are better that those filthy eel chuckers" or "those Jet Whale Chronicles players are a bunch of filthy casuals, you're not a real gamer unless you play Ultra Murdercats 2 with a Crazr 1337 DPI pseudomouse" and similar pointless gatekeeping and rivalry. In conclusion, sports aren't my jam but I'm glad they bring others joy.

Sports fans are often the worst type of nerd but unlike with most nerd things society enables them, thus they lack the typical self loathing that keeps nerds in check. Your weird obsessive hobby stops being that when society at large says okay to be weird and obsessive about it. Also as a burly dude I hate it when people assume I give two shits about sports, I workout because I like the D thank you very much.

None of the players are compensated, they just play for the glory of their town. Hurling is absolutely insane, I'm amazed more people don't get concussed, considering how fast it is and how hard they swing the hurls. Even the ball is vicious to get hit with - it's hard leather with a thick upstanding seam all around it. I've heard it said that if you don't start playing as a kid you'll never be any good at all at hurling, the range of skills is just too complicated.

I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. If you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.

Moon Slayer posted:Yes; for example, we're allowed to enjoy this sports derail. Fair enough. I'll say it again, if you nerds want to fit in more just learn analytics. You can sperg out over sports, get your math and excel and chart kick and learn enough player names along the way to be able to hold up casual conversation with your rear end in a top hat jock coworkers. Just look at this glorious advanced stats chart from Micah Blake McCurdy! :

It’s also the son from his first marriage who gets knockoff jerseys, while the other kids from his current one get real merchandise. For more information, see the official thread.

xtal posted:Sports are homophobic Simultaneously they are also very homo-erotic. Like, whenever people question how weird it is that I am both a big Eurovision fan and a big fan of the FIFA/UEFA Championships, I tell them that both events are very similar to some extent: the outsized nationalism, the kitsch, the drama, the mass spectacle and yes, the homo-eroticism. In terms of money wasting/peak performance however, F1 takes the cake. These are likely the most well-rounded athletes to exist even if their overall condition only accounts for like 1% of their success, all the rest is due to their teams and their cars, both of which are an absurd waste of money. It's also why I like F1 because if you're going to do something gaudy and wasteful, best to go balls to the wall with it.

Well, halloumi specifically is usually rennet-curdled, but other fresh acid-set cheeses like paneer are super easy to make and fry up deliciously. Halloumi, though, is awesome. Sorry you can't find it where you are, uber_stoat.
