My bad, i dont understand a lick of what his comment even says but it must make sense if everyone else can understand it if its obvious enough to throw insults as a reply.
@socsa@piefed.social was making fun of (at least, I think they’re making fun of…it could be a pretty extreme Poe’s Law case) people who vehemently hate sport. “Sportsball” is a word such people use to belittle sport. “DAE handegg” references (1) the “DAE [x]” meme, where someone makes fun of a community hivemind by saying “does anyone else like [thing the community is well-known for liking]”, and (2) the term “handegg”, used by fans of soccer to refer to other types of football, because of a misunderstanding of what “ball” means (they think it requires a spherical object) and why football is called football (they think it’s because you kick the ball exclusively with your feet). People who unironically say “handegg” also seem to have never looked at either an egg or a non-soccer football.
