    I feel like that scene with the Joker explaining how people react to others getting shot. There were two school shootings that day and the children getting shot got basically no attention because it’s just part of the plan. Now I have people who complained endlessly about political correctness telling me I have to be politically correct.

      For some people, it’s not about what they believe or what’s right. It’s about avoiding accountability and winning, no matter what they said before or the cost.

    Grew up in a Football (Soccer) town. The local team was a fairly big deal and it was pretty much mandatory to be a fan if you lived there.

    I was never into sports and started referring to Football as “that game where a bunch of very fit men in shorts and knee-socks, frolic in a grass-field”.

    It was not appreciated.

      Lol this is me basically. I find sports especially areas with heavily sport focused culture off putting and honestly revolting

      As an outside observer American football really seems keen about making guys wear really tight white pants. And every play begins with the quarterback miming wanting to reach inside some guy’s butt ffs

        Every team sport is really an excuse for men to touch each other.

        I was never into any team sports. At first I thought it was just boring. Now I wonder if it’s because I’m just not attracted to other men at all.

          I don’t know about that. Attraction to your sports mates shouldn’t be your motivator anyway, for various reasons. Also in volleyball at least I think you’re supposed to make room when it’s not your time to play the ball so you’re not supposed to touch anyone.

          Regarding the tight white pants in American football I don’t know how it’s not fanservice to ogle better, which I find funny since the proportion of fans saying stupid shit like not washing their asshole because gay is probably alarmingly high

        Straight guy who enjoys baseball here – youre not wrong!

        At least baseball doesn’t need to have a squad of attractive women bouncing around in skirts on the sidelines to affirm the viewers’ sexuality.

          I always thought they put them there because without them there’d literally be nothing about the whole affair worth watching.

            I remember reading an analysis of in-play vs idle time of several popular pro sports, and American football was dead last, even behind baseball.

            Which is fine on its own, but pretty ironic given how so many American football fans seem to sneer on soccer for being too boring.

            “We are not gay, we have scantily-dressed womenfolk present, thus proving our masculinity beyond question! Definitely. Not. Gay!”

    The blood pressure spike this would create in some people might be enough to kill, be careful with things like that. remember: Sticks and stones can break bones, but words can burst a blood vessel.
