why the do i have to wait 4 years to watch water polo or synchronized diving or rowing or whatever. why do i turn on the tv and see vapid loving morons talking about dumbass poo poo all the time. i'm serious! i realize that i could pay like 279 dollars a week to have 20 espn channels, but gently caress that. one of the cspan channels should just straight up cover sports all day. its like the rich chumps talking about horseshit channel right now. i like having baseball or football or soccer or whatever on in the background but gently caress if there aren't more sports that i would love to see all the time. instead of watching good morning usa or goddamn apprentice or whatever hot loving garbage is normally on tv. sport is so much better than everything else that's normally on. thankfully surfing will be in the olympics in 2020.

talk about sports itt

yeah i do this already but i'm just saying i'm doing a little work around the house and it's cool hearing some sports going on in the background that i don't really know about, ya know?? a sumo wrestling league would be cool as hell.

my caveat is that i prefer people to keep it serious and about the sport. like those sports center lite shows talking about what jerry muphrys mom put in her rear end last nite i dont give a poo poo about. show me skilled people doing their sport!

Once upon a time there was football all year round, but then Donald Trump bought one of the teams and wrecked everything.

there's nothing boring and repetitive about Nascar. especially compared to F1. do those cars ever even pass each other?


Rally just needs better marketing, most Americans aren't aware of it existing. if they ran some races in the US and paired up with Nascar they'd blow up bigtime.

the only disadvantage is when you find poo poo on Youtube often there's little to no commentary so you don't get the same sort of experience. It's fine if you've watched a ton of that sport and you already know all the ins and outs, but if you don't it kinda sucks. And for some things it doesn't even make sense without the setup

But there are plenty of Let's Play videos on YouTube with commentary, so watch those instead.
