I can’t imagine this will reach the right audience, but in the lead up to the superb owl this year I was saying that a great sketch about this country would be to have this giant hyped up spectical where everyone’s getting all fucking jazzed up and talking about how all of this epic shit is going to happen and then at the climax of the sketch you get to the actual “action” and it’s just a dude flipping a coin once.
That’s America IMO, and it’s definitely illustrated fully in the super bowl: six hours for ten seconds of actual action interrupted constantly by bullshit and commercials and followed by idiots tearing “their city” apart because their laundry was crowned “world champions” of a sport only played by people in one country.

As a fan of neither team, that Kendrick performance was fucking fantastic.
pyre@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
as someone who’s not really into hiphop/rap that much, Kendrick has some fucking bangers, and that show was hype af.
only watched it because conservatives are struggling to shit talk it without outright saying “I don’t want to see [black people] during an NFL game”… turns out it was lit. there’s a reason they can’t really say anything about it without being just straight up racist: “that’s not music” - yes it very clearly is & “he’s mumbling” - no he definitely isn’t and his vocals were super clear to understand to the point that I was surprised how clear it was with all the physicality involved. nah they just wanna say “I don’t speak black”.

i have seen a few volley ball games with beach balls break out at more than a few concerts…not that anyone was keeping score.

Real football*, not that American shit.

Ah, soccer?

The pace of American football is utter shit, and I think it relies too much on in-game coaching, but the actual strategy and feats of athleticism are equally impressive to any other version and have their own charm, but none of it is important enough for me to tell anyone they have to give it a try.

You mean, a bunch of twinks run around for an hour and score no points ball?
RandoMcRanderton@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
That might actually make football bearable.

What’s fun about football, tho? I mean, it’s basically a bunch of dudes hitting a sphere for some weird reason or fighting for the pleasure of carrying an egg (and making more money than the most of us while at it)

Do you personally dislike all sports or just football?
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 hours ago
Not them but I do actually have a special dislike for football over most other sports, the ratio of stuff happening:boring nothing is really bad when watching and when playing
fl42v@lemmy.ml 7 hours ago
I don’t dislike most of them per se, I just don’t understand most of them. I mean, it’s quite impressive what those people can achieve, but I’d rather watch some dude free-climbing in the grand canion or something of that nature ('cause for me even climbing a 20m pipe was scary asf).
Now that i think of it, football is probably singled out in my mind due to its fans doing some batshit crazy stuff oftentimes. Like dude, chill out, it’s just a bunch of people kicking a ball. Save your molotov for your friendly local politicians.

I’m not OP but I dislike football because it’s got a huge risk of TBI for the players, like way more than most sports, even with the helmets. Also it feels really nationalistic and militarized

I can see it, Yakety Sax playing the entier 4 minute game.

Might as well. There’s not much football in a football broadcast to begin with.

Football is more of a turn-based strategy game than a real-time action game.
Statick@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I had a coworker that refused to believe it was turn based. I think it broke his brain.

I used to work for a local TV station as a videographer. We always had to go out and get “highlights” of high school and college sports games in the area. Football was by far the worst, because it could literally take you an hour to get any 10-15 seconds of footage that was usable.
I hated football before that. Now I really hate football.

The bottom half of the pie chart is the reason I can manage to watch it. It doesn’t demand constant attention, and offers occasional moments of focused action and excitement during your conversation/meal/game/doomscrolling.
The Live TV and ads are the worst part of trying to watch any sport live though, so I don’t actually watch much. Just a couple games the entire year. Actually I bet the superb owl was the first game of the year I watched beginning to end without interruption.
With other sports like Hockey, I can work up the excitement to watch some games if I hear the team is good and they’re already deep into the playoffs, lol.

I hate that I love football. Especially if you played, it hard to stop watching. NFL aways had the best camera tech, and was amazing in the 80s/90s. No other show on the TV was nearly as good technically.

This talking point only reveals your own ignorance of the sport. Which is fine, nobody needs to know or enjoy football. But having an ignorant take to complain about what someone else enjoys just shows that’s there’s a good chance you don’t care and only want to complain about something you don’t enjoy.

As a non sports ball enjoyer I’m curious, why is this is not a bad thing? Like, I have no dog in this fight. I don’t dislike football or any other sport, I’ve just never found any joy in watching sports on TV. Occasionally it’s fun to go to a game, and it’s very fun to participate in one (never played football, but have played baseball, softball, kickball, and played soccer twice), but watching it on TV has never been fun for me. So, as someone (I assume) who enjoys watching a game on TV, why/why not is a chart like above not demonstrating a negative? I’ve never really been able to pinpoint why I don’t enjoy watching sports, and when I saw the chart my first thought was “oh, is that why I don’t like watching football?”

People have been saying that to me for years – often angrily – but honestly, every game I’ve ever seen has been like 5 minutes of game during which a guy touches another guy the wrong way, followed by at least a half hour of back-to-back replays interspersed with a few guys debating every aspect of the way each guy touched another guy, plus at least ten minutes of advertising.
I’m pretty sure even fans wouldn’t disagree with my timing breakdown.
