Starting to Agree With Adonis

[avesher]

I find as I give a shit less about things, sports falls into that area. Why do I care who wins or who loses? Do I know the players personally? Sure I played all sports but I dont want to be some hammerhead old man sitting on a couch thinking I know it all or giving a shit about how many yards some player who I dont give a shit about runs for. As I watched sports lately, I found it boring and pretty fucking useless.  I find other things in my personal life more worthwhile than watching some guy make 10 mill a year for hitting a ball, throwing a ball, shooting a puck or whatever. Meh, maybe Im just old.

meh who knows, although with a sex drive of less than zero I dont think I have a fondness for much in that area

I only watch the sport of bodybuilders battling it out on stage.

A benefit of aging, no pussy is worth chasing.

Men that wear jerseys brandishing the name of another man, are pathetic.

In some ways u have a point

It's ridiculous when u see guys beating each other up, arguing and even killings. It really isn't that serious

Of course I still love sports but it doesn't take up my life like so many others

[kh300]

Tomorrow I know at least a few people will come up to me at work talking football. And I'll say 'asshole you know I don't give a fuck about the bills'

I know nobody in the NFL. I don't play in the NFL. Why would I give a shit? It's never made any sense to me.

Then I have to listen to people talk about what they would have done in the game. Like who the fuck are you thinking you know more then a coach of a pro team.

Then some idiot is going to be in a bad mood because their team lost.

ya I feel like a moron for doing that now, its like why did I do that?

[Marty Champions]

Ever since the era of christian laetner and danny ferry i gave no fucks

Not unless it says "The gift"

I see no problem with watching your favorite sports... watching movies with your favorite actors ... Ect


Just don't become obsessed.

[SF1900]

Adonis and I have always agreed on this point. Watching sports is utterly pointless. There is no benefit to an individual if youre team wins or loses. I guess its fun to root for youre team and all that crap, but the obsessiveness of sport watches is ridiculous.

Understanding why people watch sports can be understand from a social psychological perspective. In other words, understanding large group dynamics. The emotional feeling of your buddies cheering along with you is enthralling. Just look at the stadium of people. No one would be involved in sports this much if it wasn't for the shared feelings of loyalty among the same people who also like your team.

Is watching movies about fictional events ok in your mind ?

[SF1900]

Depends on the degree of obsessiveness, and if one can separate fiction from reality.

You can reduce any form of entertainment to its just.


That's the value of entertainment, it's simple and easily acessible.

I know some people that are obsessed with fantasy football. I don't get that.

I know some people that are obsessed with certain movie series (Twilight, Marvel)


But I don't think it's bad to watch a game here or there.... Same with movies

[Thin Lizzy]

It's fun and entertainment. Adonis likes the cooking channel. I like football, the strategy employed by the coaches, and the skill and athleticism of the players.

The guys who have their whole identity tied into their sports teams? Yes, that's pathetic.

Your just sooky the grey cup sucked.

CFL is bullshit hope this helps.

You have the poor luck of being in the heart land of such a bullshit league.

Only in canda could we emulated the biggest sports league on the planet, and yet copy none of the parts that actually make it interesting.

On the life of my dog I have never seen a CFL game in my life
I recognized early it is not a professional sport

please stay out of my threads, you promote rape as being ok

Nah, plenty of fans appreciate sports outside of group dynamics.  There's nothing wrong with appreciating, and being entertained, by elite performers playing at the highest levels of the game.  It's......fun.

That is why I added the qualified of obsessiveness.
