I want to say first that I understand that some of us may like sportsball here but…
Man I fucking hate sportsball. Not the playing it. The fucking watching it. I hate the mentality around “my team good your team bad.” The obsession. The money. All of it. On a small/local level I kind of get it but it never just stays there. It grows and grows and soon you have people half naked covered in paint burning down buildings cause their team didn’t sports the ball as good as the other team.
The whole business aspect of it is really cancerous. Players being demonized the moment they want to get paid their value, Being a good fan means swearing blindly loyalty your entire life to a team that only wants to make profit off you, and sometimes those teams are literally run by incompetents for decades and you have to deal with the team losing. Like starting to like a team that is well run, that invests in infrastructure, players and staff and thus wins a lot is being a fake fan lol.
