that said, it does turn many people into goliras, no not the ball part, the competition part.
there should be a study comparing monke 
behavior with e-‘sports’ vs traditional sports.
you’re at your job where you want to build a union and your coworker asks you “did you catch the game last night?” what is your reply
Never been asked that by a co-worker
“i dont watch sports”.
“oh okay” (proceeds to not attempt to start further conversations with you)
You’ve actually just pointed out one of the worst things about sports in the US
a lot of people are more socially inept than you think and don’t have many conversation starters
maybe if they did something besides watch sports.
sorry that prole hobbies aren’t interesting enough for you
THE GAME being the patriarchy approved “normal” topic that ALL MALES MUST be able to have a conversation about in order to be socially acceptable is toxic as fuck. The way your turning it around to say poor smol bean hegemonic culture enjoyers don’t know what else to talk about is kind of true, but that doesn’t make it any better. If anything its another example of how patriarchy hurts men as much as women.
Just to be clear, the problem isn’t sports but patriarchy. This may be less of an issue outside the US. Hopefully its not as bad in the US as was, but i doubt it
What is the way out of your conundrum? How can people talk about sports?
People do talk about sports - and that’s fine! I don’t hate sports or have a problem with people watching sports or talking about sports.
I’ve been pretty clear about what i have a problem with. It’s when someone says “i don’t watch sports” and that’s a problem because it isnt considered the approved and acceptable answer to that question
If the price of building socialism is having to pretend to like sports for the rest of my life then I’ll just have to resign myself to capitalist hellworld
nah come over and watch the fights with me some day we’ll have a great time
yea ill let others handle the talking. i rarely talk irl anyways.
I mean, that would be an extremely maladjusted behavior on the coworker’s part. It’s not like I write off the possibility of befriending or even talking to someone because they don’t consume my slop.
Smart play “No, I missed it, who won?”
Yeah, i have been around people who like sports all my life and this is the go-to. Let’s them talk about the game, and gets me up to speed of a game I honestly don’t really care about, but that it’s nice that gets people excited about.
