Heres Why Im Done With Team Sports Viewing

[avesher]

TCU is ranked 3, beats their opposition by 52 and drops to number 6.

In pro sports too many players fold up once they get the big money and rely on teammates.

PGA golf on the other hand is based on you get paid that week on how well you perform, no 5 or 9 year contracts. Its based on you you and you and no teammates.

Team sports are lame as fuck

I got out of team sports when I was 16 and got into martial arts and weight lifting.  I even played handball for many years (singles play). I enjoyed the more solitary activities where the victory is my own. Kind of stinks to share your win with 20 other people. And as you stated, there are those team mates who will purposely slack.

I can't even watch a full game of anything and I played sports all through high school and college. Only thing I truly enjoy is mma.

[CARTEL]

You think that picking a sport (MMA) and Bodybuilding (Contest) where you win by judges is better than team sports because you control the outcome? 

I guess you can always get the TKO or KO in MMA but you don't control your destiny at all in bodybuilding.

Get real, bodybuilding is not a sport, it's beauty contest with no rules for people with mental disabilities.

Olympic weightlifting and chess are the most fair within that framework.
They are about you and you only, with strict and transparent rules.

Someone got a big wad of cash given to them

Baylor has the same record and beat TCU and didn't get in, people in Waco are ready to riot Ferguson style, I guess they actually have a legit reason now lol

It all comes down to NAME.   There are more people that will see "Ohio State" on the menu and tune in, versus "TCU" or "Baylor".  They just don't have the name impact power.   

Same way more people would tune in to watch Tiger Woods shine his ball sack, than to watch the other actual better golfers make amazing shots.   Sure, you'll have the fanboys disagreeing, but we're talking general public here.  Tell any douche at work that you're watching golf and his first Q will always be "Hows tiger doing today?"

How does one choose which college team they like?  Do you pick it based on the mascot?  Logically, it would be the school that one attended, but that certainly is not the case for most fans.  How does one choose?

Seriously??!! So much corruption, bias, all about who the judge favors

On top of all bbing isn't a "sport"

I cheered for Notre Dame Fighting Irish football since I was like 10. I didnt go there, I dont know anyone there, I have no idea why I chose them. A couple weeks ago I realized how fucking stupid it is that I cheer for teams that I have ZERO connection to. Its retarded and Im embarrassed. Fuck I even have a Notre Dame tattoo. No wonder Im on medication

Yeah its does get fucked up when you think about it.  Most people don`t realize how arrogant and how horrible most of these football players really are.  They don`t care about anyone or anything.  You had that one torturing dogs for fun and the countless others robbing, raping, killing, assaulting and just generally being worthless human beings playing a children`s game.  The best line is always this:

Spot on as usual, boss man.

I still remember those two tools at UHC (the New York midget named Mike and his big black buddy) who referred to their favorite teams as "we" and whose inane conversations could be heard from a block away.

Their OOC schedules were atrocious. Baylor should schedule better.

What is stranger?

1) Sitting in your room alone and watching the Mr. Olympia.

OR

2) Going to a friends house with a bunch of dudes and cheering on a sports team.

Watching Olympia's from the 90's actually motivate me to train harder. Especially the shows with Yates.

1) Sexual fantasy in a single setting.

Its like asking someone if they like rice or beans on their taco.  Just depends on what one is in the mood for I suppose.

Team sports are lame as fuck

I think this is a very good thing!  Hobbies are much better than watching someone else make millions of dollars playing games meant for middle school children.  You get so much more out of hobbies such as building a car.  You learn valuable skills, get a sense of accomplishment, set goals and are actively engaged in the activity.  

It takes absolutely zero thought to watch a bunch of black guys chase each other and their balls around and then watch them pray to jesus christ and then go to jail after they blow their money.  Plus there is no end in sight.  Its not like it matters one bit if this team wins or that team wins, they are just going to do it all over again next year which renders it all irrelevant.  Even if someone`s preferred team wins the whole thing, so what?  What happens next?  They are done.  They achieved the highest they could.  What impact does that have on the fan?  Happy for what really?  

I assume the fan either is trying to empathize with the victory and what it took to get there, or they think they are part of the team or they just have nothing better to do.  Does not matter though if any of the reasons are true, the fan gets absolutely zero benefit from any of it and there is no satisfaction either.  If there were any kind of satisfaction to be had, nobody would be watching it anymore or they would stop when their desired goal is reached. So that leads me to believe people are just watching to watch and never really thought about why they are watching it, because if they did, they might realize its a lot of time wasted on a passive activity with no great benefit whatsoever.
