Okie here. It’s hard not being all the fuck about sports. I like football. I played football in school. But it doesn’t constitute the majority of my personality. My granddad ALWAYS has OU games on. It doesn’t matter if they’re #2 or #22 or got beat by Kansas. It doesn’t matter if they’re playing in the Rose Bowl or the Cloroxβ„’ Toilet Bowl. He’s practically consumed by it. I don’t understand it. I love going to the games. You go for the long walk in a loud crowd to end up inside and overpay for a shitty beer that gets warm in five minutes (because it’s 97 degrees), and after enduring all that, your guys might still lose. It actually kinda rocks.

But I prefer concerts. I get to dance to my favorite songs and watch my favorite aging 90s rockers put on a show for cheap because they haven’t been big in 20 years. A concert hardly goes south. But nobody shows up to the water cooler on Monday and goes, β€œHow about that Weezer concert?”

It gets pretty awkward having to tell people you didn’t watch the game because sports is just not important to you.
