Super Bowl Apathy...

<p>^^Wait a minute. He asked you to define team sport, and now you want to back out of your definition? Looks like someone is inconsistent, and there’s nothing human’s hate more than inconsistency.</p>

<p>^^ Son that’s not normal.</p>

<p>I love my Calculators too, but there’s gotta be something else.
School and studying is amazing, but there’s WAY more to life.</p>

<p>Good ■■■■■ post.</p>

<p>^^I didn’t say he didn’t play a team sport, I was asking if the team sport he played involved him running.</p>

<p>"and there’s nothing human’s hate more than inconsistency. "</p>

<p>Lol what?</p>

<p>good thing mithopeful got the joke.</p>

<p>Do you like it when your ice cream swims in the Cherbnikov?</p>

<p>Yeah, I wasn’t too interested in it this year, commercials were meh, but we did some super bowl squares, so that kept me a bit interested.</p>

<p>I kind of wish I wasn’t a sports fan though, as it really does eat up so much of my time. Not so much football, I’m more of a baseball girl myself, and in a regular season, an MLB team will play 162 games, averaging around 3 hours each. I will probably watch 80-90% of these games, which is kind of insane, considering that’s a good 400 or so hours of watching the game. The games that I’m not watching, I will most likely be following on my phone or in some other way. And then there’s usually around another hour or so each day of reading about the team, or some other related activity. In a year, I probably spend a good 700-800 hours obsessing about it. Crazy.</p>

<p>^^^Good thing indeed. If he hadn’t, the world might have ended a second earlier than I’d planned.</p>

<p>^^ Ah Baseball…</p>

<p>I respect the sport. But it is boring.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No, it’s because you didn’t actually answer the question…</p>

<p>^“I tawt I taw a putty tat. I did, I did!”
To put it rather bluntly, I merely suggested that all individuals have certain interests that are personal. To imply that their personal interests are pointless and deem them of lesser value simply because they differ from one’s own preferences is Spartan (i.e. madness; this is Sparta after all).</p>

<p>The only way I can actually care is by betting money.</p>

<p>So I have to bet money to enjoy this tradition.</p>

<p>^ I agree</p>

<p>but I think I would lose a lot of money</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Okay, cool. They have personal reasons for liking football. That still doesn’t answer why or what those reasons are. Also, he wasn’t saying anyone’s interests were pointless, he was asking a legitimate question.</p>

<p>Hence the term “implication”. Also, I implied that the reason is relatively arbitrary, given the human species.</p>

<p>Y’all are boring… sports are great (both playing and watching, depending on which sport). I, for one, was hella excited for the Super Bowl and was ridiculously happy when the Packers (I live in Wisconsin so obviously I’m a fan :D) took it home to Titletown.</p>

<p>“Why should we care about sports?” “Define a team sport” God, this is what’s wrong with America these days. For the record, I care a lot about my academics and I also play football. Inb4 attacking me for one of those two things (or both?).</p>

<p>^Thank god, a normal person</p>

<p>What I don’t understand is why people think it’s the “cool” thing to be apathetic towards the Super Bowl. I mean, okay, if you don’t like it, THEN IGNORE IT! You don’t have to tell everyone that you don’t like it in an effort to be different. It’s pathetic.</p>

<p>Facebook is the prime example. Half of my statuses are about the Super Bowl. The other half are from people complaining about or sarcastically commenting about the Super Bowl. Stop trying to be original, because it’s not working.</p>

<p>^^Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking while reading this thread. What is wrong with all of you?</p>

<p>^I literally could’ve not watched the game and known exactly what happened when it happened from facebook statuses (including my own). That wouldn’t have been anywhere close to as much fun though :)</p>

<p>^^ agreed</p>

<p>“I’m just wondering, do any of the people that don’t like the super bowl play a team sport competitively?”</p>

<p>Yes. I do. =)</p>
