    Still find it weird that they called the show “football” when it’s not about football. Imagine Haikyu!! being called Tennis!!.

        The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it’s how they keep it fresh.

        The plot is always the same. Except it does change ever so slightly every year, making it even more difficult to follow for people who don’t normally watch.

    I came across something about it this morning, and thought, ‘Oh, is that today?’ Then I forgot about it again until this post.

    I’ve never cared about sportsball, but I’ve learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn’t avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.

    I’m old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y’all have fun.

      I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.

      Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.

      Culture is shattering.

    If we’re doing bread and circuses in a colosseum, at least make it interesting and turn some wild animals loose or something. Even the Romans did better than a bunch of sweaty guys tossing around a pig hide in between ads.

      Meh, I’d like sportsball better if they didn’t spend my taxpayer funds on stadium construction.

      • CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Or at least if we retained ownership of the stadium afterwards. I’d be a lot less annoyed if we were charging rent to the teams who use them.

        Yes that is something that’s not right and you are entirely justified in being upset about it.

        However it’s kind of unrelated as here you are being kind of a douchenozzle and shitting on people for liking different things than what you like. Which is kind of ironic give how much supposedly a lemming should be different from others and liking other things, like Linux over “Normie” windows.

        No crowds whatsoever in the way of what you need, little to no lines to wait in.

      OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.

      I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed my when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.

      • Serinus@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.

        13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.

        source
    • scytale@piefed.zip ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.

      source
    • CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If, for whatever reason, you are called upon to bluff your way through a conversation about the Super Bowl, you can say that you’re rooting for the Seahawks because you cannot stomach the particular flavor of Americana that the Patriots embody at this time.

        It’s also a very valid answer to a football fan. There’s two camps, Patriots fans and literally every other fanbase going for the Seahawks.

    Everytime one of my frienda where’s a scarf of our local soccer club, I’m gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.

    source
    • CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The scarf is a stretch cuz the players don’t wear scarves, but I love it when my non-sports friends call my sports apparel fabulous. Wearing a jersey with a player’s name and number is inarguably cosplay. If they’re wearing too much apparel (usually the shirt and the shorts), the traditional insult is “full kit wanker”.
