"There is no such thing as a child who has a favorite sports team. Only a child with a dad who has a favorite sports team."

This quote has stayed with me for life.

Because I never really had a dad. Just an abusive exstepfather. He loved sports. And because I hated him, I hated sports by association.

I hated the way he would chainsmoke and get drunk in the living room for hours on end, while yelling at the TV because his team was either winning or losing. No matter what they were doing, he would yell at the TV. It made me feel unwelcome in my own home, and I often had to escape because the environment was so toxic. So my brother and I spent a lot of of time outside.

And then his football game would finish....and he'd roll into a Nascar race that would last 4 fucking hours.

The man was human trash.

My mother was an idiot for tolerating him as long as she did.
