Philoktetes 07/15/21 4:03:46 PM #1:	Like as in you get mad when people bring up sports or it just really upsets you; why? Like I am pretty into NFL football, there are other sports I barely care about or don't pay attention to, but may I ask why do you care so much that other people like something you don't like? Like not to be mean but is it because you were bullied in school by jocks? Is it related to capitalism and how much we pay sports ball players compared to union guys? What gives? Why does me liking a sport give you so much anger? Is it just not cool? --- I don't think so, Tim. ~~ Pizza Crew ~~ <cite>Philoktetes posted [p:956115543] in Serious qu...

Jabodie 07/15/21 4:06:59 PM #3:	I know this isn't exactly what you're asking, but I sometimes avoid casual sports because it's difficult for me not to lose respect for people that get really salty about losing.

WizardPowers 07/15/21 4:10:58 PM #4:	Most sports suck. Soccer is boring, bball and soccer have flopping (which should get you ejected), football is trading years of your life for your brain cells.

PoundGarden 07/15/21 4:15:47 PM #7:	Idk that anyone gets angry, never seen that. I get annoyed with and don't understand people who can't stfu about them but thats true for most any obsession. I can't wrap my head around talking about how many times dude a hit a ball or how many yards dude b ran in their career, its so unbelievably insignificant I can't even imagine caring or getting excited about it. --- "You go.

This is the relevant question. I couldn't count how many times someone brings up some sport, and after I tell them I don't follow or watch sports, they just fucking ramble on about this team or that player for ten minutes solid. Literally no one ever does this with anything but sports. I wouldn't say I hate sports, but i definitely hate those people. <cite>TheOtherMike posted [p:956116005] in Serious qu...

Gobstoppers12 07/15/21 5:20:28 PM #22:	I don't dislike sports. Not an avid watcher by any means, but I'll see a game every now and then on tv. I understand why people would be angry about sports, though. It's one of those subjects that completely hijacks a conversation once it's brought up.
