Sports. Everybody wants me to write a blog about how much I hate sports. But I don't hate sports. I just don't totally love them. Mostly because I don't understand the following things:
1. The costumes. I don't like dressing like everyone else. And sport colors are always horrid.
2. Sports take too long. I don't like doing anything for 4 hours.
3. The constant yelling. It is perfectly normal to loudly hum, and turn that into a raucous chant 49 times a game.
4. The extreme emotions. This is either extreme anger if they lose, or a play goes wrong, or extreme happiness if they win or score. I don't feel either of these emotions for anything, so I am curious how this works. Is it real?
5. Why are sports only for men? I mean I know women sport teams exist, but no one cares. I mean, I don't either, but still it seems old fashioned. I guess I sorta liked those girl gymnasts when I was a kid…despite the fact they all had mushroom haircuts and no boobs.
6. The scoring. Sometimes there are lots of scores (basketball) and I don't believe a true winner has been determined. Or sometimes there is hardly any scores, and I still think a true winner cannot be determined.
7. Sports casters. They are always old men with leathery faces and dry brittle hair.
8. Coaches. How do they stay so interested and invested?
