Okie here. Itβs hard not being all the fuck about sports. I like football. I played football in school. But it doesnβt constitute the majority of my personality. My granddad ALWAYS has OU games on. It doesnβt matter if theyβre #2 or #22 or got beat by Kansas. It doesnβt matter if theyβre playing in the Rose Bowl or the Cloroxβ’ Toilet Bowl. Heβs practically consumed by it. I donβt 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 itβs 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 havenβt been big in 20 years. A concert hardly goes south. But nobody shows up to the water cooler on Monday and goes, βHow about that Weezer concert?β
It gets pretty awkward having to tell people you didnβt watch the game because sports is just not important to you.
