    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.

        Just because people don’t like the same game you do it doesn’t mean they are shitting on it.

        That’s you being overly defensive for no reason.

          I’m shitting on it.

          It’s slow, has a ton of advertising ( probably more than actual play time), causes CTE, wastes money at colleges that would be better spent elsewhere, covers up sex crimes etc.

          There are a ton of more interesting / exciting sports than American football.

          I’ll still attend a gathering today but only because I like food and socializing whether the game is on isn’t really relevant to me .

          That’s you being overly defensive for no reason.

          Try again bucko, I am from Europe, there is only one Football and that’s where you actually kick the ball…

          Doesn’t mean you can just shit on what someone else likes, or I mean you can and you can act like a dick about it, but all it does is reveals what an asshole you are.

          Going by the downvotes there is a few of you around here having an issue facing this fact. 🤷‍♂️

          Have you considered that you are the one being defensive about rightly being called out on your asshole behavior?

      Lol, no you wouldnt.

      Youd still find a way to be in the out group because it makes you feel special
