I'm not really into sports, but I certainly don't hate them. I know enough about most major U.S. sports that I can enjoy watching them with family and friends who are enthusiastic about it.

Except golf. gently caress golf. A goddamn waste of urban green space.



Just my opinion but any “sport” that involves drinking beer, riding a cart between turns & having someone else carry their poo poo around isn’t a sport. Personally I think it’s just old farts who were too frail for actual athletics growing up & had a traumatic tee ball experience.

90% of sports fans don't watch women's sports unless they're jacking off. Like the U.S. women's soccer team won back to back world cups and people only know about it because the right got mad at Megan Rapinoe.

This is dumb and wrong

What the golf pros do is a sport. What people like me do on a golf course is a parlor game. Darts, bowling, pool, shuffleboard and golf. Get hammered, hope it goes where you're aiming.

UFC is the most homoerotic sport in history. "I use to gently caress guys like you in high school", "I'm coming on that rear end", etc etc.

Why do you think they specifically had to put a rule in that you get disqualified if you ejaculate?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
So fans could play from home

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

My 2c on the sports stuff.

The 2 sports I follow are extremely niche, and culturally/geographically specific sports. Test Cricket, (never 20/20), and Aussie Rules.

I support Test Cricket because I am half Indian, and if you are born Indian, you are born with a cricket bat in your hands. In fact my dad named me after an elegant left handed West Indian batsman from the 70s, and it breaks his heart that I am a medium pace bowler. Anyway, the reason I like Test Cricket is the reason most people cant stand it. I like that it goes for 5 days, I love the fact it has draws. A draw means that both wins and losses are fully earned. Because I go back to the first Ashes test in Cardiff some years ago when Australia comprehensively outplayed England for all 5 days of the test, but couldn't break the last wicket partnership of Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar. Basically it was that Australia were the better team, but because they couldn't take all 20 wickets, they didn't deserve to win, and England were poo poo, but because they held on, they didn't deserve to lose. I like these kind of stories in my sport

I support Aussie Rules because it is a sport that is unknown outside Australia, and even within Oz, northeast of the Barassi line it is ignored. I have been an expat for most of the last 10 years, and hope to be so in the future. And watching a game of Footy is a comforting reminder of home, and gives me a sense of belonging when I live, and often carry an ID card, explicitly naming me as a foreigner. Also, I have found the best way to watch the footy, (if you can't be at the ground live), is drunk in an expat pub, yelling at the screen surrounded by confused locals and Americans.

I don't give half a poo poo about video games though, so I can't add to that side of the discussion.

funny picture tax.

I hate that rule. I had a script for an Air Bud-style movie where a blue whale enters the MMA and goes all the way by pinning his opponents in a flood of ejaculate but nobody's going to want to produce the movie now that the rule exists.

Not at all, just saying if we're comparing the homoeroticity of sports, MMA has to be up there.

This is not a joke. Historically cricket was invented to circumvent anti-Sunday drinking laws. And it is so long so that you can drink all day. Like a civilized person.

Stop worrying so much about spoilers, goddamn. "How did that happen?" is a way more interesting question than "how did it end?"

Aside from all those stories built on the premise of the audience not having correct context at the time.

Also "I'm going to spoil something for everyone because I don't think spoilers are a big deal" just makes the person doing so look like an rear end in a top hat.

The best sport is obviously ferret legging. The rules get explained at the start but basically the contestants compete to see who can keep a ferret down their pants the longest. and no, it's not animal abuse because those little buttholes love roughhousing, something anyone who's owned one will attest to.
