Being a sports fan is pretty fucking stupid * 7
    #23961737 - 12/28/16 01:22 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)








And this is coming from someone who has been a die hard sports fan for their entire life.

But seriously, the older I get, the more I realize how completely meaningless and ridiculous it actually is.

We (sports fans) let it affect us -- we let a loss from "our" team(s) hurt us. To the point where at best it depresses us, and at worst even cry because of it (I've never reached this point thankfully during my time as a fan, although I have on occasion wanted to break my remote control or even my television).





But for what? First off, it's a meaningless game. It's literally a game for fuck's sake. A game that has no bearing whatsoever on our actual lives. A meaningless game played by men who we have never met, and will never know. We take pride in teams that we have zero part in, outside of watching them and saying "yay" when they score, lol.

And fans who just happen to adopt teams to root for that are traditionally good, look down on other fans who root for lesser teams, as if we had anything to do with those teams being successful. We don't do shit but watch them and yet feel as if somehow we're a "part of the team". Lmao how stupid is that. And so many of us will automatically hate another person who's a fan of a rival team...even though we don't even know that person personally :lol: Not just that but you have countless examples each and every year where fans take it to the next level and literally fight opposing fans, in stadiums or sports bars or where the fuck ever -- just because they happen to root for different groups of multi-millionaire athletes :rofl:

Seriously, what in the actual fuck.

When you really boil it down and truly think about it, and how many billions and billions of dollars worth of revenue annually are profited to team owners and players around the world because of fans of these games...it really and truly is one of the most mind boggling things ever.

I think maybe it is a way for straight men to be emotional and connect with each other without feeling like they are "gay" and "acting like women" when they express ANY kind of emotion. It is deeply psychological and strange to me. I despise football and anything that has to do with it. Look up Noam Chomsky's take on sports/football.

Hockey is life up north.

I find sports to be pretty pointless aswell but hey it's a nice distraction from reality.

Football is fucking bullshit IMO. I hate it.

Hockey players seem to be a bit more humble, they get paid less than other sports, still a lot though, and seem to genuinely care about there fans.

As far as the the psychological bullshit about gender roles and doing it because that's what "men" do, I don't believe that for one second. Tons of women like sports.

I am utterly confused when I see people cheering for a team..
I am further confused when I see people who seem to live for a trivial game with no point. :shrug:

How does a person reach this state?

Wouldn't it be amazing if people were as passionate or fanatical about political issues or humanitarian causes, as they were about sports? I would like to see that for just one day, to live in an alternate reality where things were like that.

I don't know, man. Good question. I think a lot of people are born into it (or around it).

I know this one dude though, dude I grew up with who I used to be real good friends with (we're more acquaintances now) -- his entire identity & life is University of Alabama football. He never attended the university. Shit I don't think he's ever even lived in Alabama. But it's his entire life, man. It consumes him. And their football program has been utterly dominant in recent memory, so whenever they do lose (which is rare), the guy takes it as hard as if he lost a loved one. For real. And he looks down on fans of other teams as if they're completely inferior beings -- you can just see it in his face and by what he says that anybody else is basically a peasant in his eyes :lol:

Dude wanted to fight me once because I called him a bandwagon fan (meaning a fan who becomes a fan when the team is really good).

He revolves everything in his life around the games. Everything. He literally quit a job once because he would've had to work during the games. The top priority in his life by leaps and bounds are the games -- like I swear to God this guy would seriously consider skipping a family member's funeral if there was a big Alabama game on at the same time.

All over a game and a team that he has zero association with other than him waking up one day and declaring himself an Alabama football fan

I like "playing" sports
It seems like, most people just get involved in watching football and not play sports themselves to b appear manly  and have something to talk about

I like betting on horses and watching rally races and stuff, but those are totally uncool these days, and it's not like I pretend I know anything about it.

I never understood the obsession with watching American football specifically either. I mean football has a break like every 6 seconds, it makes the game so boring... at least a game that plays consistently without so many breaks like basketball or hockey makes a lot more sense.

I sometimes enjoy watching UFC or MMA style sports though.

I agree.

Its funny when a guy roots for One team, like its the only team out there :lol: I mean, how does one become sooooo attached to one team?

I too have gotten into watch sports, but i never got into crying. Come on now, thats just too far.

But watching sports can be fun, but when your team loses bad, it does hurt pretty bad.

Its also funny Niffla that your avatar looks like a baseball logo, and i had a feeling u were a sports fan from that lol

i thinks some guys are just super competitive and sports is just that, competitive.

it's fucking stupid (sports). i get it, if you used to play baseball or football, that you'd watch your team, but some/most people take it way too far.
and the nfl is tax exempt? corrupt is what it is.

Yeah it is a baseball logo (of the Detroit Tigers, Major League Baseball), and I am a sports fan and have been so since a very young age. I'm just finally coming to the full realization of the sheer idiocracy of it all.

And my friends are all hardcore sports fans, too. Who sit around and argue about the shit every chance they get. Fuckers will even do sports trivia when we're out drinking and brag about who knows the most



I think I need a new hobby and new friends
