why is enjoying college sports creepy

Because the players aren't paid and at best they're "working for exposure" and at worst it's roughly slavery.

People who care about college sports without actually having gone to said college are the weird ones. Otherwise it is just a real connection between you and many random people.

not really, because it's not hard to grasp at all why this happens with millions and millions of sports fans

the average sports fan likes the closest teams and for a ton of sports fans that's a college

also they're businesses, they put a lot of work into making sure they have thriving fanbases because it'd be terrible business to only sell tickets and merch to people with a direct link to your school

I liked playing the NCAA football games more than the madden games and I couldn't even tell you why. They were more fun.

idk there's a lot of cities and even entire states with no sports teams except for college sports so it makes sense for them to get excited about those

every college basketball player is a lot better off than 99 out of 100 pro wrestlers. and i mean financially too, not "because of education" or anything boomery to say. that slavery line wouldn't fly on a less mentally isolated forum

"wrestling fans don't like wrestling" has been the recieved wisdom since the 90s.

It'll probably change soon, the California House passed a bill on the topic, though it's still to go through the Senate. And that'll force the other states to quickly catch up.

College football is fun. Despite having attended no university in America, it's still fun to watch. It's weird & colourful & it's full of absolutely awful loving people, it's honestly a lot like wrestling.

It told a pretty clear story of him being overconfident and being quickly overwhelmed. For the time it was given it was pretty near perfect.

For all the ageing wrestlers demanding psychology in wrestling none of them have ever worked out that Raven did it better two decades ago and was funny and engaging doing it. I'd listen to Raven talk about that match before I listened to Boring Bully yammer on about it.

WCW Raven was incredible. Dude hardly had to work because he had his goons do it for him and when he did it was just a couple plunder spots
