only 16% down ... a lot of fat old white men are having a hard time giving up their crushes on their heroes. There’s just something about wearing another man’s name on your back ... especially when there’s a very good chance that he’s a felon. Lovely.

Even worse than the hero worship is the fake sense of community. Many of the stadiums aren’t even located in the cities identified in the team names. Those cities are 3rd World style hell-holes now that people don’t want to go to after dark. Sportsball cannot die fast enough, and the NFL is the worst of it. The sense of community is just a marketing campaign based on leftover emotions from a bygone era. Lovely.

You pretty much nailed it.

I have been thinking the same for a very long time. Swear to God, many male sport super fans are suffering from some form of same-sex attraction or are just outright homosexuals.
