It is a rather large waste of time, isn't it?

How can somethin' with cheerleaders be so dull, yo?

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

Careful, there. My daughter's a cheerleader.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm sayin': it should be good, 'cause: cheerleaders! An' I ain't normally even about cheerleaders, but I'm willin' to make exceptions for when they mid-cheerin'. But football blows that hard, that it can cancel out freakin' even chicks jumpin' up an down in shorts skirts. THAT'S, LIKE, A UNPOSSIBLE LEVEL OF BLOW.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

See, here's a bit of advice. My comment about my daughter should have warned you that any comments about cheerleaders jumping around in short skirts could be taken amiss.

Though I completely agree on the sheer blow factor of football.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I don't take hints good. Or care what I say, mosta the time.

So what's the deal? Why're otherwise normal peeps gaga over it? The world can't be fulla that many covert r-tards, can it?

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

I'm just a bit... overprotective, we'll say. I know you didn't mean any harm, so I'll let it slide. This time.

I have no idea. Then again, I don't see the point of sports in general. I'm a bit of a nerd.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

Obs it's ta give jocks somethin' to do, which I'm all for if it keeps 'em away from me, but I don't get why nobody'd wanna watch that.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

Honestly, no clue. I've wondered about that for years.

Could be a government conspiracy, easy! Other countries ain't about it. 'Cause they use soccer.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

I don't think the government makes people stupid. They do it well enough on their own. Of course, they could just be following the government's prime example.

My son plays soccer. I have no idea how I wound up raising two children who are into the sport thing.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I seen the government do mad shit...

>>I have no idea how I wound up raising two children who are into the sport thing<<

Peer pressure, or: blame the schools.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying the government is sane or anything, but I think they're too busy being stupid overseas to worry about fostering sport.


It could have something to do with not carrying my genetic makeup, but still... I believe nurture is as important as that.

[vitaedolce.livejournal.com]

Aw! I like football. Or, at least, I like the big crowds at games, and the excitement.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

Why?

I can think of way better ways to find crowds an' excitement.

[vitaedolce.livejournal.com]

Some people get so heated up about it! It's cute. See, okay--when people get into big flaily fits over their favorite band, that's music, it's been messing people up in the head since the dawn of time. But football is just a game certain people put so much emotion into caring about, and it has a whole little subculture of scores and sports terms and fans.

I guess I like it for the same reasons most people think it's ridiculous.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

So what you sayin' is you like it ironically?

[vitaedolce.livejournal.com]

I guess! I never thought of it that way.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

Butcha are now?

[vitaedolce.livejournal.com]

Yep!

Really, I'm just inclined to like anything that makes a lot of people happy, I guess I can't see what's wrong with it if no one is getting hurt.

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

It's that peeps make these player dudes heroes for runnin' around an' beatin' the crap outta other guys. An' usually they dicks, too.

[vitaedolce.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, it's not as bad as rugby. ...but it's true a lot of them turn into jerks. They learn pretty quickly with the right kind of social pressure, though!

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

Like jail?

[vitaedolce.livejournal.com]

That, for the ones who take things a little too far, sure!

[hopsnonstop.livejournal.com]

The only other thing they do is pay 'em tons a cash.
