Why don't you... - Lemmy.World

That is an easy answer tho. You watch football at the highest level of competition to see the best of the best. It’s not like you go out and watch other dads playing football in the park… Do you? 🤔

Like I get watching esports or speedrunners; I do not understand watching people who are the same as you do something you can do yourself easily.

Anyway, I can’t wait for July 13th when the Grumps start playing Dangoronpa 3.

Even more exciting than watching a pro soccer team beat whoever they’re playing is watching my kid beat whoever they’re playing.

Even more exciting than watching pro hockey is watching my college team beat whoever they’re at laying, despite never having a personal connection.

And yes, the medias attempts to highlight specific athletes around Olympic times and make us feel a personal connection used to work, until they overdid it. Now it’s just ads
