So in this brief period of posting we found out PYF is very uncomfortable talking about violence or sports. It's fine. My "unpopular opinion" is cheap hot sauce that's hot enough it makes you notice "this is hot" but not cry or drool is ideal for putting on chicken nuggets, or a hot dog, or some such.

Someone mentioned this before but I really want to see morbidly obese people have their own category in Olympics style sports. The marathon section would certainly be more interesting. And yes I'd watch them do boxing.

). Humans are weak and slow and fragile compared to other animals, we have survived and prospered due to our intelligence and reasoning ability. So whats the point of sports if all the players are the weakest, slowest animals ever? You watch sports to watch the BEST. The strongest, the fastest, the toughest. Humans arent any of those things.

Also we're the best at League of Legends. Cats can't play that game for poo poo.

The biggest single advantage humans have is thermoregulation, actually. It's why persistence hunting works so well; most things just try to run long enough to catch prey or get away. Most chases in nature last seconds or minutes. Humans can run for hours. A human can just run keep running at a goat or a sheep or something until it just overheats and falls over. Well actually our single biggest advantage is organization; we basically organized everything else to death. A single human, compared to basically anything else, loving sucks but we don't work alone. We specialize and work in teams; while one dude is out jogging at goats his buddy is back home making him really nice spears. ToxicSlurpee has a new favorite as of 03:25 on Sep 8, 2018 |

Tribes of humans who were willing to accept working with wolves were more successful than those who weren't. So the cavemen who prospered were the ones who could empathize with non-human animals. Basically, the reason that we find puppies and kittens adorable now is that 50 thousand years ago thinking puppies were adorable was an evolutionary advantage.

They don't compete with people for food sources really but they just love eating the hell out of things that gently caress up our food storage. It didn't really take any training to get cats to be useful and it isn't like they pose much of a threat to people so people were like "well they eat the vermin that gently caress up the granary and they're cute and little so they can hang around." Now we take them wherever we go but still don't train them because...well, they're cats. You can't.

I don't hate sports you dummies. I was intensely involved in several. My problem is that you tell them you don't have much to say about football, as politely as possible, and they suddenly act like you've offended them severely. Like they genuinely get mopey, or will ignore any further pleasantries, I've literally had people ignore me with displeased looks on their faces after being initially friendly when I would say "Have a good evening." Or I'll tell them several times I don't know what they're talking about, or who the person they're talking about is, or what the significance of some play I was, but they will continue to talk at me which is something an insane person does. What makes it even more bizarre is that if a sport is on that they don't understand or pay attention to, they will ask far more reasonable questions like, "So do you know what's going on in this soccer game?" which I can at least say "Nah, no clue." It just seems a billion times more sensible to ask someone if they like something before talking about it. I don't care how popular something is. I personally never make that assumption.

Dogs exhibit different behavior in the presence of people than they do among other dogs. They understand pointing, can read our facial emotions, and just generally are able understand that we are something distinct and different from them. Cats... don’t. There’s nothing special about people that changes a cat’s basic behavior. Sure they communicate with us differently, picking up that we respond better to vocalizations than nonverbal cues, but pretty much everything is still repurposed from the same communication toolbox, a lot of it specifically from the kitten-Mother relationship. They don’t seem to recognize humans as something different, just bigger cats.

I know what you mean, but as a guy who follows no sports except MMA, and even that sporadically, never found that to be a problem. Talking with people is a delicate exercise, a play where you write the script moment to moment, always teetering on the edge of saying not enough or too much.

Sports fans are the loudest people on the planet and that annoys me. The people in bars whooping and hollering at a tv reminds me of the people that clap in the movie theater when the credits start rolling. e: cheering and clapping when you're at the actual game is great.

Movie clappers and plane landing clappers are clapping at things that already happened and it's dumb. When you're watching a sport live it makes more sense to get excited as things are happening because it's something you wanted to happen and to keep happening. Also people at bars are more likely to be drunk, which is highly correlated with yelling at the TV. I'll even yell at my TV at home when something like pawnstars or the price is right is on if i'm drunk enough.

Team sports have a lot of advantages beyond just physical activity - youth involved in team sports have lower rates of drug use, drop-outs, and teen pregnancy. It's trendy to disparage sports/jocks but even less athletically inclined children should be encouraged to join a casual intramural team (volleyball, curling, whatever) for the social benefits as much as physical. That being said, football needs to disappear as quickly as possible. TBI and CTE injuries are not rare, the NFL has known about the risk since the 1990s and has actively played down the risk even after multiple high profile suicides. Over half of all high school football players have permanent brain damage from their time on the field, college and professional athletes will naturally face even higher and more severe rates. And yeah, fandom plays a huge role in the problem because people immediately roll their eyes as soon as you talk about their precious game being far too dangerous and starting at the pee-wee level boys are encouraged to be "tough" and keep playing through injury to win at all costs. It's loving sickening, if a less popular sport put up these kind of death and disability numbers no parent would let their child play.

American sports leagues are communism. It's faux-competition little better than professional wrestling. The Americans stick to their own sports because they know they can't compete in truly free global sporting marketplaces.
