Never have I ever understood why people care so much about sports or teams or whatever.

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

I also don't understand. Sports are legitimately boring.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Only subjectively though. I love many sports and find many others pretty boring. Fans of those would disagree, of course.

The only sport I enjoyed playing was soccer. Everything else I was forced to do against my will.

i felt the same way, but then i took a look at esports and something just clicked.

Okay, but "never have I ever understood why X" is just turning "never have I ever" into a platform for random opinions like what happened to the Kermit sipping tea meme.

Maybe. I struggled a lot with how to word this, because I honestly feel very much like an outsider about this. Never have I ever felt like shouting after a sports play? Never have I ever felt like one team was more "mine" or whatever? I really do feel like there's a near-universal experience here that I'm not part of.

Sports are just soap operas for men. What will happen next? Who will get traded? Who will be benched vs played? Who will get injured? Which team will throw a game at a critical time? Find out next week!
