I am so fucking tired of grown-ass people living vicariously via professional sports teams.
I get it - I have loved the Chicago Bears since I was a little girl, because it gave me a reason to hang out with my favorite brother. But when fully-functioning adults become liquor-crazed idiots because they are rooting for or against a team over which they have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL by standing up or drinking certain beer or wearing a certain shirt, I want to throw up directly in their mouths. This childish fascination people have with sports is fucking nauseating. I watch a certain human being toggle between baseball, basketball, and fucking women's bowling (or whatever other bullshit sport might be on TV) every single time he's got a screen in front of his face. His daughter came over to see him for father's day today. He came directly from a college world series game, said hello, accepted his presents (3 minutes tops), and then planted his ass on the couch to watch basketball.
Wow, how cool is it to have a connection with a bunch of athletes who wouldn't give you the time of day in the real world, but not be able to have a proper connection with the people who actually have blood ties with you? Really impressive stuff there. P.S. Those people for whom you root by shouting at the TV from your ass-couch position don't give a flying fuck about you. They don't care about your stupid superstitions, nor do they want your shitty used-to-play-football in high school advice about why they're doing it all wrong.
IF YOU COULD PLAY THE SPORT, YOU'D BE DOING IT!
Maybe read a book or something periodically...
