Sometimes I wish that I was into sports, it seems very fun!
Of the top 10 greatest times I’ve ever had, prolly 7 are from attending Bills games, or thr PGA Championship, or Sabres games
I feel like I would need to know people irl who are into sports in order to get into sports though.
Just pick a team, start wearing their gear and the friends will come. Lol its a great way of meeting people. You dont need to learn too much to understand the game enough to become a fan. A quick youtube video to explain the game then look up any of the number of documentaries that exist for every amd any team to learn their story/history and you are good to go.
Once you start meeting people and tell them you just started getting into it, other fans are going to be delighted to share their knowledge or answer questions. You’ll be apart of a community that will always have your back.
My local team is thr Buffalo Bills, our star quarterback’s name is Josh Allen. When Josh’s grandma died, Bills fans everywhere started donating $17 (Josh’s jersey number) to his charity for children’s hospital. We raised over a million dollars and today there is a whole wing added to children’s hospital dedicated to Josh’s grandmother that was built with the funds of his charity.
Im not guna pitch any team for you to follow but I will say that if I were you, id want to join the greatest fan community of any sport of all time, the Buffalo Bills’ Billsmafia lol.
Are sports memes a big thing? I feel like those should/could be a big thing.
The sports meme market is booming. NBA is prolly the king of sports memes. There are prolly reation memes you have seen a thousand times but didn’t know were from sports.
The last bit of advice id give is to get into the fantasy sports of whatever team you choose. Its the best way of learning which players are good on other teams, what plays to cheer for or be pissed about, but mostly it’ll teach you how the game’s statistics work. Plus they’re really fun and great way meet new friends. If you are interested in learning more there was a comedy series on FX that was really good that was all about a group of friends and their fantasy football league called, “The League.”

Back on reddit, there was at least one sub dedicated to memes I between just a single division (nfcnorthmemewar, or something close) and it was always hilarious. Definitely miss the regular sub and the meme subs here.
