First, I can't stand people yelling at the referees. It really gets on my nerves. They are just people too, and usually they do a great job. I'd hate to have 20k people watching me do my job and yelling at me every time I don't do something perfectly. This just means I don't attend many pro/college level events. Second is the tribalism that can accompany sports fandom. I cannot understand hating another person simply because they root for a rival team. It does not compute with me. I'm not saying everyone, or even most sports fans fall into these. But enough of them do that I've decided not to invest my time and interest in them. Sunday21 and SilentOne 2 Quote
Vort Posted September 5, 2019 Report Posted September 5, 2019 I have two personal issues with people who have personal issues with sports. First, they're repetitive. Second, they're redundant. Third, they say the same thing over and over. Also, they're anal retentive about counting issues. beefche, dprh and Sunday21 3 Quote

Now my posting makes even less sense than it did before you nuked the dupes. dprh 1 Quote
Grunt Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 Anyone who thinks sports unites us hasn't gone to Fenway in a Yankees jersey OR stood up in a sports bar outside New England and acknowledged that Tom Brady is the GOAT. person0 1 Quote

Nonsense. Sports definitely unite us. But if my daughters marry yankees* fans, I will disown them. * deliberately not capitalized. Sunday21 1 Quote
mirkwood Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 I used to get tickets for the Utah vs. BYU basketball game in Provo. In the student section. I'm a Ute fan... Quote
