Why the fuck is everyone so obsessed with sports?

I honestly don't understand it. Its literally people running around on grass, ice, or floors and moving balls or pucks at moderate speeds.

I can sit down and somewhat enjoy a football game for example, I wont deny that- but what pisses me off is the vast majority of guys spend hundreds of hours talking about it, analyzing it, learning every name and game, etc. That's what I mean by obsessed.

Spend the same amount of time trying to get a better job and you would be rich. Or maybe buy a dirtbike or get into wake boarding or something, at least then you would be living your own life instead of living vicariously through athletes. I don't get it, please convince me I'm wrong.

Gives you something in common to talk about with others. It's a hobby. It's a healthier hobby than continually bitching about minorities and watching porno

it's a hobby mr autist

Nigger ball its what (((they))) want

You're correct.
The time you need to learn all those nigger names could be spent on much more useful things.

But the average man is simple. Don't be the average man.

Low IQ men. It's their tribalism instinct, it's the same thing that makes women group think and make all their decisions collectively.

Low IQ people are so awkward.

>when the only thing you have in common with someone is being born in the same place that likes the same sport
Sad.

High IQ people talk about ideas and actually prefer people they don't have a lot in common with. It's why high IQ libertarians are here, we're looking for Nazis to argue with.

Only retards watch niggerball

Wow, taking the lolbertarian meme to new heights.

Black hero narrative. Why wouldnt white women want a hero ?

Because we live in a world where we have little self determination and are constantly subject to forces beyond our control.

On the field a man's fate is in his own hands, his decisions, his will, his strength, his talent against his opponent.

Not really, liking sports is a pretty good indication of male authoritarianism. I'm hypothesising that libertarians don't care about sports because they're too individualistic to care about the success of people they've never met.

Sports are for the low IQ. Don't turn this on me and tell me I'm memeing.

I don't give a fuck about sports, but OP's image is the fedora-tipper of sports.

>hypothesising

Hypothesizing. That high IQ at work.

Why do people bitch about the New England Patriots being too white, its because they know white people despite being slightly less physically gifted are able to overcome this and beat the niggers. Niggers are stupid animals

obsessed i don't understand but otherwise it's fun if you aren't retarded.

The answer is the most important economics lesson you will ever learn:

Individuals value different things and at different rates.

niggers good at basketball cause they have to be good at Shooting, Stealing, and Running

>the typo jew
always to the rescue

>Gives you something in common to talk about with others. It's a hobby. It's a healthier hobby than continually bitching about minorities and watching porno
>literally shoved down our throats so (((they))) can more easily subvert western society

Yep

Same reason people are obsessed with video games and anime, just usually sports fans don't go to the length of imagining themselves being married to an athlete

High test makes you enjoy competition and tribalism

Unfortunately I drink too much bottled water, so I have to pretend

When will we see live gladiator fights and hunger games TV shows?

Only faggot ameriturd use 'z'
Patricians use 's'

Whats with the obsession of nerds hating sports? If I had a nickel for every time I heard another person say "sportsball" and think they're clever I'd have a buck maybe.

Gtfo bitches of all colors fantasize about sports and music stars. Ntheyndont fantasize about engineering and physics laureates.

camaraderie replacement for old-timey war.
angry young men have a team to battle alongside against the other tribe.
women, children and oldmen get to cheer on their tribe.

Genetic defect not to enjoy sports.

>when you run out of arguments but it doesnt matter because the guy youre arguing with makes a typo

...

Yeah, fantasize. They don't have husbandus though

Noggerball for realists

Worst part is when they then go and say that eSports aren't real sports and "why not just play the game yourself?"

> Implying porn is any better when it's created by (((them))) to subvert

Agonism, and the unresistible desires humans crave for conflict and war.

>> Implying

No such implication was made.

They're jealous that sports are a socially acceptable hobby, and that their nerd shit isn't

Pussy privelege is real, bitches get what they want. If they want niggers that can throw and catch a ball, thats what they chase. The jews teach bitches to love niggers and then it becomes the norm. Sandra bullock and Angelina adopt niggers like they bought a new handbag and it becomes a trend.

helps me connect with the older generations who grew up on it and dgaf about the current video game i'm playing. plus it fits my /fit/ lifestyle.

really fucking irritating. WHY DO MEN LIKE TO PARTAKE IN ACTIVITIES THAT REQUIRE STRENGTH, ATHLETICS AND A SOLID GROUNDING OF STRATEGY AND TACTICS?

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE JUST PLAY BOARD GAMES AMIRITE?

give me a nrl loving bogan over a board games faggot any day of the week

Playing a sport is a different thing from watching and fetishising a sport.

People enjoy the mastery of skill sets

Homosexual fantasies

Hero worship and fetishization of watching sports. Playing sports is honorable

FPBP

Men are basically trying to vicariously live through the action and risk of other men. Both my roommates are in their early 20s, fatasses who watch sports all day at what should be the absolute peak physical years of their entire lives.

It's a controlled outlet for tribalism. Sometimes it's taken a bit further than intended and leads to hooligans and casuals who beat the shit out of one another over "Our team".

Hasn't sports always been a source of entertainment and a spectacle of training one's body to achieve insane feats? I used to play basketball in high school so it's the only sport I can stand to watch. The entertainment I get out of that is seeing people do things I couldn't do. That's probably why I never got into the whole "MUH TEAM IS THE BEST WHOOO FUCK OTHER TEAMS" type of mentality. It's like how I play guitar but I still go to concerts to see a person who makes it their livelihood to solely hone that skill and be exemplary at it.

I gave up seriously watching sports ages ago after cutting the cable and honestly don't miss it much. I attend a small time CFL game per year and one or two minor league baseball games. They are both cheap and fun enough to eat some food drink a few beers and maybe smoke a joint or two. People who are obsessed with sports are usually ignorant cucks in all other aspects of life. Bread a circuses for sure, look into how Rome collapsed, sports for distraction and bread (welfare) for sustenance. Their society faced challenges but society itself was too fragile to adapt and react, literally causing 500 years of total stagnation. We have been brought to the same point.

>we have little control over our lives
>this is what the average retard actually believes

Because it makes no sense and everyone is subject to it almost constantly? I enjoy playing some sports, soccer and basketball. But I don't even get how or why people watch other people playing them for HOURS, it's absolutely mind-numbing and pointless, how is it pleasurable?

I would also wreck you in bball bro

>I can sit down and somewhat enjoy a football game for example
You and tens of millions of other people. If you understood supply and demand, you'd have your answer.

That aspect of sports is pure faggotry, actual partipation in a sports should be encouraged.

>actual partipation in a sports should be encouraged.
Sure, but you can't deny that it is an outlet for tribalism in the case of local sports teams and nationalism in the case of international sports. Like the first post said, it's bread and circus.

I understand what you are saying, but should you care about what Le bron eats for breakfast or who he votes for ? Too many people do

The athletes are not necessarily native to the location of the team they play for so it is not an acccirate representation of the athletic ability of that city. Fake and gay !

It's like a circus, you have all these people who are so good at something that are playing against other people who are also good at that thing

KEK. Had acquaintances who would watch entire golf broadcasts. Preshow, early teetimes, main draw, sitting on their asses developing their man boobs drowning in soda talking about how great they were at football before they got injured or had a one of several concussions...
wonder if that's a preexisting condition now.. played sports?
>Well you have been exposed to atrazine and other pesticides in the ground water alongside multiple head traumas so you will be bipolar, your chronic back and knee pain pain pills and physical therapy premiums will increase, and in a few years you are going to have arthritis. . . Health insurers know the game and know the task of insuring the majority of poisoned flock of sheep over their lives

Sports are proxy warfare. We should respect veterens and soldiers more.

>Somewhat less physically gifted.
>Implying whites don't excel in every sport over niggers, safe for running.
Ftfy.

I understand why people like sports, it's the video game to the video gamers. The rocks to rock collectors. Magic cards to Magic players. ie. something to do that passes the time and can be social as well. Sports appeals to normies because it's pretty much the activity with the largest amount of socializing that requires very little actual knowledge or strategy. Just sit, watch, drink, cheer.

It's a bit annoying when I get asked at work if I saw the hockey game last night. I usually say I don't really follow hockey and I'm more of a soccer fan (Which I actually do like watching during the world cup, otherwise don't care about it), and that usually is a good enough answer so they don't think I'm some kind of reject (used to just say I don't like hockey, and would get weird looks from people instead).

They are more physically gifted. Whites have strategy and were able to form a league that is profitable. Physically gifted would be cannables living in a grass hut without us.

I dont know shit about sports but Ive been following counter strike obsessively since 2008 and dota2 since TI2, when my cousin lived in my house for a year and saw me watching dota while eating dinner everyday he thought Im crazy

really? thats the only thing..
not the multi-million contracts for playing a sport?
what about the 2nd, 3rd so on string players? there getting paid millions to practice and sit on a bench most of the time.

genetic tribalism tendencies. very simple.

No, I'm sorry but this is exactly the talk that annoys me. You are over sensationalizing a game that even a child could understand. It accomplishes nothing, you are not doing anything for yourself- unless you are incredibly good you are not even determining your own fate, your team is. And that's the people who actually play, most of you just watch from the sidelines. Like seriously read 100 business books in the next month, meet mentors, and ask for a damn promotion- that is determining your own fate. Then buy a fucking badass car and street race or something. Like fuck, sitting on a coach and talking about sports constantly with your equally boring friends is so damn dull. Would you honestly look back in 50 years and repeat that type of life if you could do it over?

Bread and circus for the normalshits.

>They are more physically gifted.
How exactly?

Also I agree with you for the most part though.

I don't know if that's really a problem just contained to sports. That's this weird idolization of celebrities we have. People do the same stuff with people who can barley seem literate like Cher. I don't know why people take celebs who inspire them because of a certain skill and then apply that skill's prowess to other things. I'm sure we all do it some way or another though. I'm sure a lot of people on the right are cool with people like Ted Nugget screaming to vote for Trump, playing guitar at his rallies while people on the left are okay with certain celebrities who autistically screech about the "cheeto hitler". I wish entertainment was completely separate from politics. As for people giving a shit about stuff like what brand of tampon Miley Cyrus uses well they're just brain dead and lacking in excitement in their own life I guess.

So high test makes you enjoy WATCHING competition? Because you could actually compete in your own world instead of watching other men compete.

Trough selective breeding during slavery. Dumb and strong. Its the brutal truth

Sad bit true

Not even a nerd. Decent looking, love working out, would rather ride jetskis or focus on my job. What's this with dumbs fucks who always happen to love sports calling people who don't obsess over them "nerds". The best thing in your life is literally watching other people on TV. At least even actual nerds who jerk off to anime are doing some sort of activity.

Please stop trying to impress everybody by forcing long words into your speech. Just because you know what they mean and how to use them doesn't mean that it isn't really off-putting, and a giant red flag as to this insecure you are about your intellect.

Also sports are great, man up you salty little bitch

>It's a hobby. It's a healthier hobby

Have you seen the average sports enthusiast? They're past their glory days and are usually overweight for binge drinking during every game they watch. Far from healthy.

Its problematic

This x 1000, I love DOING things, but I'm talking about the people who obsess over other people playing a stupid game. Even playing a sport isn't all that great compared to say riding a motorcycle but that's just my opinion.

I'm not American, I neither need nor want to use the 'Z' letter.

Literally no argument to be found.

Sports are for the low IQ. I'm sorry this makes you feel inferior, but it's the truth. High IQ people are generally too individualistic to care about these things, caring about a group that's never cared about them seems against their self interest.

What about lifting sports?

How is this Sup Forums related, take it to Sup Forumsr9k/bant/

Ok I can actually agree with everything you just said, but you are in the tiny minority when it comes to fans.

Surely working out can be seen as a type of sport, even if not in a competition.

>he hasn't read The Way of Men

The reason why we love sports is because it's an emulation of men being good at being men.
We like sports like football, soccer and boxing because they all highlight an aspect of physical strength, agility, mastery/skill.
These are all very primal things. Once upon a time we relied upon ourselves and the men around us to be physically strong, agile and masterful to survive. Those that weren't those things, didn't survive.

10/10 bait

Partiicipating in sports is good. Watching sports is like pornography.

Most don't play sports.

I don't understand the attraction of e-sports either. I'd only watch someone play a game, mainly one with an actual ending, if I don't have access to it.

...

Yeah we aren't Neanderthals now though

If you identify more with a caveman than modern thinking man, you are stupid. It's as simple as that

>Watching sports is like gay pornography.

FTFY

because I played D2 niggerball and enjoy watching NBA players play the game at the highest level. I also enjoy the strategy employed by NFL teams. There is a lot to appreciate if you aren't a pretentious faggot.

>Man who spends hours shitposting on Sup Forums thinks people who like sports are wasting their time

High IQ people don't talk about how high IQ they are.

>NBA players play the game at the highest level.

Are NBA games really better than street games? Is it because you know the players? I'm sure there are plenty on the street that never got anywhere and play proficiently. Hell, you can see a fight or shooting as well.

Watching to learn, ismcool, but most are not doing that.

Are you literally claiming there are no intelligent discussions on Sup Forums?

Men are competitive. Sports are competition.

Bullshit, by sitting down watching a TV for hours, researching other people, and talking about this pointless shit for hours you are being shitty at being a man. You are not being physical, you are not providing, you are not determining your own future.

I would argue I am 10x the man you are by using that time to make more money or do things that get my adrenalin going. If you play sports that's fine but sitting on the sidelines and watching is not what men were built to do at any point ever.

Yes.

Playing sports is like playing a game. Games are fun to play. I'm clearly talking about watching professional sports, watching your mates team play is clearly different again because you're emotionally invested in your mates.

I'm talking about people who brawl because they happened to sit close enough to people who support the other team. Pure, low brow tribalism.

I'm fucking serious.

Caring about sports that much you punch someone is some intellectually nihilistic shit. How is a recreation the most important thing in your life? Get gay children or children in drugs.

This would make it impossible to talk about themselves, any assertion that obviously flawed cannot be possibly true.

Sports are proxy for war, watch battlefield footage on liveleak where there is no next weeks game.

Whatever happened to competing for money other ways?

I could spend hours reading ESPN and talking how Tyrone made the ball move better than Tyrese. If you spend hours PLAYING sports I'm not judging you, but most just watch and talk about stupid shit like this.
