    I came across something about it this morning, and thought, ‘Oh, is that today?’ Then I forgot about it again until this post.

    I’ve never cared about sportsball, but I’ve learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn’t avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.

    I’m old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y’all have fun.

      I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.

      Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.

      Culture is shattering.

      Also a great day to fly. Last year I flew home on a flight with 20 people (including staff) Super Bowl night. I felt like a billionaire lmfao

      I have a bunch of friends that head to an amusement park for the Super Bowl every year because there are no lines at all.

      OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.

      Meh, I’d like sportsball better if they didn’t spend my taxpayer funds on stadium construction.

        Or at least if we retained ownership of the stadium afterwards. I’d be a lot less annoyed if we were charging rent to the teams who use them.

        Yes that is something that’s not right and you are entirely justified in being upset about it.

        However it’s kind of unrelated as here you are being kind of a douchenozzle and shitting on people for liking different things than what you like. Which is kind of ironic give how much supposedly a lemming should be different from others and liking other things, like Linux over “Normie” windows.

      I’m near 45 and have a 5 year old. Even I can stay up to 930, have a drink or two, and wake up to get the kid to school. It’s not exactly clubbing until 3am.

    People are so sad and edgy on this site.

    Community, fun, drinks, going out of the house and doing something. That sounds awful.

    Everytime one of my frienda where’s a scarf of our local soccer club, I’m gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.

      The scarf is a stretch cuz the players don’t wear scarves, but I love it when my non-sports friends call my sports apparel fabulous. Wearing a jersey with a player’s name and number is inarguably cosplay. If they’re wearing too much apparel (usually the shirt and the shorts), the traditional insult is “full kit wanker”.

        You lead a very sheltered life as a sports enjoyer if you think this comment belongs in an “I hate sportsball” community.
